Explanation:

Proposal A

Payback = 3.75 years

Year     Cash Inflow      Initial Investment Balance   Year Count

0                   0                         1,050,000                        

1                   $280,000           770,000                            1

2                  $280,000           490,000                           2

3                  $280,000           210,000                            3

4                  $280,000           0                                    *3.75

* 1050,0000 / 280,000 = 3.75 years

Proposal B

Payback = 3.375 years

Year     Cash Inflow      Initial Investment Balance   Year Count

0                   0                         1,050,000                        

1                   $350,000           700,000                            1

3                  $280,000           105,000                            3

4                  $280,000           0                                    *3.375

* ( 3 + ( 105,000 / 280,000 ) ) = 3.75 years

so i don't know what video you're talking about, but here's some stuff steve jobs gave as advice.

- love what you do.

- the worst thing that could happen might turn out to be the best thing that could happen.

- follow your heart and trust it knows where it's going.
