What if the problem isn’t that you’re not growing fast enough, but that you’re actually growing in the wrong direction?


The business might be growing, but your capacity isn’t growing with it.


And this is the part we don’t talk about enough. Just because something looks like growth on the outside doesn’t mean it’s the right kind of growth for you.
