Mike Andes explains why companies that fixate on yesterday's priorities fail. As you grow, your constraint shifts: first you need customers, then you need to hire people, then you need better leadership. What mattered last year won't matter next year.
To think that your current priorities that you're so focused on is going to be your priorities forever is delusional. 'Cause as the business grows, the constraint moves. Just like it does in the 4L framework. As soon as you get a bunch of customers, you have next constraint of getting more laborers. And once you get a bunch of laborers, you need more leadership. And so the same thing is true regardless of what business you're in. The constraint or the priority for you to focus on constantly evolves as the business grows.
