Ten good habits to scale your startup

We all have what it takes to do exactly what we want to do in life, no matter what anyone else says. The trick is to make the right kind of trade-offs without losing your anchors: growth versus unit economics; speed versus being thoughtful; strong accountability versus providing support; frugality versus investing in the right capabilities; goal-orientation versus people-orientation. Delegate but keep track of the most important things: It’s also important to pay personal attention to these. Don’t ever stop asking basic questions, don’t ever lose sight of first-principles thinking. Treating people well, taking care of their welfare and security, creating safe work spaces and helping them do their jobs better will all qualify as fundamentally right things to do.
