- Juliate 8y agoBlitzbullshit. This romanticization of "faster and faster" is getting old. And killing us all. There's a "obviously" too fast in these slides: when there are "more customers than you can serve", the goal is what you want it to be: * A: Grow the company - "obviously" the right choice according to Reid; * B: Turn away customers - valid choice in the past, today and tomorrow - be it with availability, or price, or whatever * C: Cross your finger - well... why not actually, if you don't know/master the context, that's a valid strategy too. Focus on your business rather than your growth. You don't need to burn yourself (and others) for the supposed prize of being "the one" - while you might be it, for a few days, months, years, and then what? Going faster/fast/first is the least valuable reason. Going well or going right is more interesting and valuable in the long run. Short run fucking sucks, always.
