And he works 70-80hrs a week, which explains parts of the successful implementation of his ideas.

FWIW: I don't work 70 to 80 hours a week. My best estimate would be 35 to 45, with variances depending on what is happening in life.

The more useful numbers for calculating successful implementation of my ideas are 8 and 5. I have 8 years in the game, and get +/- 5% compounding improvements a month. This happens fairly reliably whether I work 20 hour weeks or 90 hour weeks and, after a few years in the salaryman salt mines, I know which I'd rather pick.
