Chasing Growth

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.

What I'm reading this week:

• 'They could destroy the album': how Spotify's playlists have changed music for ever

• Digital Assistants, Facebook Quizzes, And Fake News! You Won’t Believe What Happens Next

And I'm thoroughly enjoying reading Do Open - How a simple email newsletter can transform your business (and it can)

This week's favorite:

"We build our computer systems the way we build our cities: over time, without a plan, on top of ruins."

-- Ellen Ullman
