I've helped so many people get to $1 million in revenue and beyond that, $2 million, $3 million, $5 million, $10 million. I've helped so many people do that, not by adding more. In fact, I was thinking about this the other day. Whenever it was like, should I do more? The answer was actually less. And I swear this is what's gotten people to $1 million within a year. It wasn't more, more, more, more. What does more do? It drains your bank account. I do get it that sometimes new products or collections or colorways are the right move, but most of the time adding more products is a reaction to discomfort or pointing an arrow to a problem in the business.
