Ryan Daniel Moran says the key to scaling a small company is inspiring people to work as hard for your business as they would for themselves. A single founder's effort can't scale indefinitely, so you need to motivate others to carry the weight.
The number one thing to go from a small company or an individual company, however you define that, to a great enterprise, is your ability to inspire others. You cannot scale yourself beyond a certain degree. No matter how great you are, you cannot do that. If you want to build a great enterprise, you have to have the ability to get scale. You have to have the ability to get people to come in and want to work as hard for you as they would for themselves.
