I read an op-ed in Bloomberg last week written by a stock trader who was on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange during the 1989 crash. His manager brought him into his office. The trader feared his manager would fire him. Instead, his manager told him that these kinds of crises accelerate change and that he should embrace them. I’m struggling to find the link now, but if I do, I will update this blog post with it.

One of the biggest challenges businesses face when they grow is scaling effective , autonomous and quick decision-making. What worked with 30 employees will start creaking at 300, and break well before you hit the 3,000-mark. Good decision-making is extremely important. It has a compounding effect - the more good decisions a business makes, the better the results will be.

When I was CEO at EchoSign, I made a big strategic error in Year 1. I set an insane plan of going from $0m to $2m in ARR in our first 12 months in business. It wasn’t because I couldn’t build a model — the model was sound. The mistake was a combination of not knowing enough about SaaS back then, and also having incredible confidence in the team’s past track record. I thought we had the best of the best and we’d hit the number for sure.
