Growing Pains vs. Core Resilience

đź’¬ "The hardest part in business [...] is that normal growing pains at rapid scale look almost exactly the same in a company that has core resilience."

  • Rapid growth often involves constant breakdowns and chaos. If everything runs smoothly, you likely aren't growing fast enough.
  • Growing pains are similar to a child's physical growth spurts, where their body feels out of sync.
  • The real challenge lies in distinguishing between normal growing pains and self-sabotaging actions.
  • Many successful business people, especially those without extensive experience, lack the intuition to differentiate between these two.
  • This lack of experience can lead to misinterpreting issues, hindering their ability to address the root causes effectively.

Key takeaway: It's crucial to discern if your business challenges stem from natural growth or fundamental weaknesses in the company's core resilience.
