Episode notes
Scale By Investing Early And Iterating
- Hire before you can perfectly afford it and accept early mistakes as experiments to learn from.
- Fire or pivot quickly when hires or channels don't work, and iterate until you find what scales.

- Many small-business owners are excellent operators but lack fluency in business finance and accounting.
- Teaching them the basic language of accounting unlocks cash visibility and accelerates growth.

- Build a 13-week cashflow plan to see inflows and outflows and avoid surprises.
