In most large businesses the most significant work is done by 20% or less of the workforce (I work for a fortune 100 company). Too often the team size is a proxy for how successful an entrepreneur is. Although I’m not a fan of the solo entrepreneur/ build in public fad, there is a lot of merit to starting with one or two and only adding great people to the team when needed. And I think entrepreneurs overweight their indicators for when more people are needed to continue scaling. A business can usually continue scaling by refining processes and building or buying better support and tooling software.
