Brian Kaskavalciyan explains why scaling a broken business model destroys profits. Adding more staff, jobs, and sales without fixing internal systems just multiplies mistakes and overhead. Profitable growth requires fixing your operational model first.
Chasing growth set me back because I scaled the chaos instead of fixing it. I thought growth would solve my problem. Instead, it amplified them. More jobs meant more mistakes. More people meant more overhead. More sales meant more pressure on a broken system. When you chase growth without structure, you don't scale profit, you scale problems. And the faster you grow, the faster those problems hit your bank account. Growth isn't the goal. Profitable growth is. And that only happens when you start acting like the owner, not the executor trying to work the chaos. Don't add volume to a broken model. Fix it first, then grow.
