Have you ever seen someone in a season of fast growth? Their name is everywhere, you notice them getting opportunities all over the place. It’s easy to compare ourselves to people in that season of business and not see all that went into preparing for that. Or maybe fast growth caught you off guard and you didn’t know how to handle it. We’re talking about the benefits and pitfalls of fast growth and slow growth today as I drive home from Thanksgiving (I wasn’t driving don’t worry).
