And there is a distinct difference. Growth is not scaling.” [07:01] “Growing is where we have to do more to get more, work harder, work longer, bring on more people hire, grow, push. Scaling is where we do less to get more efficiency, resource utilization, specialization, prioritization, those elements.” [07:11] “As you make more sales, there's more stress in the organization, you become more precarious in your position, the potential collapse is coming and it is deep.” [07:29] “What I strongly encourage people to do is, let's focus on not how much we're making, but how much we're taking. Let's not worry about the vanity of revenue, let's worry about the sanity, of profitability.” [07:44] “Don’t try and change who you are, it’s a battle with yourself that you’re not going to win… instead, let’s channel your habits into successful ones.”  “I believe we need to channel our habits, not change our habits. Channel means if you're doing something already, chances are you can be really good at keep doing that. We have sustainability. So let's not change who we are. But let's put systems or intercepts in the path of our behavior.” [12:35] “Writing a journal and writing your actual thoughts out is the cheapest form of effective therapy.” [18:14]
