40 Stores vs 330 Stores: Which Gets You to $100M?

Had a convo with a young founder who was “stuck” this morning. Here was my parting advice: 1) Change directions less. 2) Stick with things long enough to see if it really worked. And if you don’t know yet. Then keep doing it. 3) The more stable you are the more stable your team will be 4) You can attract and retain talent proportional to your personal growth 5) Your business is simple, don’t complicate it. 6) Focusing on getting better will make you bigger. But focusing on getting bigger will only spread you to thin. 7) Raise your people standards. 8) Build from the customer backwards to money, not the other way around. 9) Remember you’re gonna die and it’s not gonna matter so don’t stress so much - you’ve already won.
