- TAForObvReasons 7y agoNot sure why this is downvoted, "growing from 700/month to 7000/month can be mostly momentum" is trivializing what is more likely a very difficult scaling process, and there is a huge opportunity cost to continue to operating the business as opposed to cashing out and trying the next thing.

- rlonn 7y agounless they're both male birds. Perhaps also bad-tempered, shrieking a lot and prone to peck you on the head or take a dump on your shoes. It's amazing how analogies never fail to clarify and raise discussions to new heights!
- hhjinks 7y agoYes, but those two asshole male birds might be celebrities, attracting tonnes of thirsty female, egg-laying birds to your bush. Didn't think of that, did you?
- hanniabu 7y agoYou're hoping it does. There are no guarantees about the future.
