If you& #39;re an entrepreneur running a small business #startup and are always paranoid by the funding news and are constantly self-doubting, here& #39;s what I& #39;ve learned in the last 7 years of running businesses. 1/n [thread]
Everyone will tell you to grow (fast) like its a race. Grow your company, make it 100 people team, make it a National brand, acquire $$ funding, and only then you& #39;ll be successful. And when its all around, you& #39;ll believe them.
No. Growth is not everything and it is certainly not the measure of success. You can be successful by building a sustainable business. You don& #39;t need to become a medium or a large scale business.
You can be a small business, work with a three, four, or five people team whom you love and who are well paid and happy to work with you. Build products/ services you love.
Make just enough money that you have the power of choice. You do not need to own a BMW or a penthouse to be successful. Take that pressure off.
Focus on building a brand/ business that& #39;s loved and admired. Grow at a steady pace and try and maintain a healthy life & work balance.
The ability to take a holiday with your friends & family at an instant is the new rich. Doing what you wanted to do for yourself after retirement now is the new rich. And that certainly is a success. Go on, build what you love, but without any pressure <3
