Key Takeaways

  1. A “Company of One” is a business that prioritizes autonomy, simplicity, and small-scale operations. The focus is on doing more with less, maximizing efficiency, and making deliberate choices about growth.
  2. Being small allows flexibility, tight customer relationships, quality of life, focus, and efficiency and profitability
  3. Make your first instinct to scale tech or automation before adding headcount. Overhead should be very carefully considered before being added

What I got out of it

  1. A different perspective that highlights the merits of staying small, focused, and not simply growing for growth’s sake
