I’ve noticed a lot of business lessons I need to relearn at each level.
How I started:
Focus on one thing
Hire smart people
Think long term
Each of these lessons I’ve had to relearn as companies scaled because:
Focus is even harder when opportunities grow like weeds. They must be trimmed.
What you think smart looks like at $100k per year is very different from what smart looks like at $100M per year.
What feels like long term thinking when you start out is a quarter and eventually becomes multiple years (or decades).
Some lessons are like wine - they age and develop with time.
