Five things worth your Monday
No argument this week, just the five things I sent to people who asked, with the reason each one is here.
01
The SEC's plain-English guide to RSU taxation ↗
The only official explanation I've found that a non-specialist can finish.
Ownership
02
A one-page intake form that killed a client's meeting load ↗
Structure beating effort, in the smallest possible example.
Leverage
03
Reader question: "Is a title bump worth 12% less cash?" ↗
My answer, and the two numbers I'd want before giving it.
Expertise
04
A calendar audit worth 40 minutes ↗
Count the recurring meetings you didn't schedule. That's the number.
Time
05
The runway spreadsheet I actually use ↗
Boring, four tabs, honest about the bad quarter.
Independence
