I don’t know about you , but I am always a little bit concerned about how we view success in today’s market.
Bigger is better. More money makes it worth it. If you’re not adding X active users per quarter, you aren’t successful.
So, is it the market that’s causing the problem or how we value growth? Hint: The longest lived businesses aren’t often the ones that were the biggest in their day.
