I think that everyone pre-revenue is almost by necessity focused on the wrong things, because there's no way to quantify actions. Post-revenue, everything's easy. "Does it make sense to buy a $3,500 27" iMac for someone whose development effort generates $35,000 a month in value?" "Uh, duh". Before revenue everyone jerks off about being founders. After revenue, everyone focus on building more income. When you have investors, you have to worry about the optics of how it'll look to your investors, instead of just doing whatever's going to make more money. When you're profitable it's hard to focus on the wrong things.
