The Science of Scaling Up.

Just gave them a no.

A book you've recommended to people most, a book everyone should read.
The Science of Scaling Up.
What's something you've said no to recently that you're really glad you did? Just gave them a no.
I say no a lot. I shoot people down a lot because it's so important to remain focused on the main goal. When there's an idea out here or here or here, which might be a great idea, but it's also gonna take away from where you're trying to get to, um, that would be a hard no. Yeah.
