In this concise talk, Brian Kaskavalciyan reflects on his early entrepreneurial mistake of prioritizing revenue growth over building a profitable business model. He explains how chasing more jobs led him to hire aggressively, increase overhead, and work harder without generating profit, ultimately creating a larger, more stressful version of a flawed operation. He notes that he was caught in the executor mindset, mistaking revenue spikes for success while the underlying model deteriorated. The core lesson he shares is that a solid, profitable business model must be established before scaling or focusing on revenue momentum.
