THE 10 THINGS THAT CHANGE WHEN
YOU STOP BOOTSTRAPPING
Mythical man month is real—
As you add people, building the company takes longer2
1. People
2. Product
3. Process
FEEL EXTREME PRESSURE
TO RECRUIT QUICKLY
MUST RESIST
As CEO, your second (or third) full-time job as
Recruiter starts immediately and lasts forever
THE 10 THINGS THAT CHANGE WHEN
YOU STOP BOOTSTRAPPING
3
1. People
2. Product
3. Process
HIRE SLOW,

FIRE FAST
HIRING OUTSIDE VS. 

INSIDE CIRCLE
As hard as you try to prevent it, culture will change as
you grow and battle rhythm becomes harder to maintain

YOU STOP BOOTSTRAPPING

1. People

3. Process
COMPANY CULTURE
FAMILY VS. VILLAGE
Ability to discern bus drivers disguised as bus
builders will make or break your company
THE 10 THINGS THAT CHANGE WHEN
YOU STOP BOOTSTRAPPING
5
1. People
2. Product
3. Process
SLOW CREEP
INVISIBLE TIPPING 

POINT
Builders Playing Offense
Output Focused (Results)
Drivers Playing Defense
Input Focused (Politics)
Without conscious deliberate change,
the founding team risks becoming micro managers
that destroys the company from within

THE 10 THINGS THAT CHANGE WHEN
YOU STOP BOOTSTRAPPING

7
1. People
2. Product
3. Process
Tracking bottlenecks
and issues becomes 

a larger pain
Helping your people see the big picture must
transition from a 1:1 experience to one of systematic
scale and consistency
THE 10 THINGS THAT CHANGE WHEN
YOU STOP BOOTSTRAPPING
8
1. People
2. Product
3. Process
If your team can’t see the big picture,
they will not execute well against it
The tension between empowering the
team against the chaos of everyone
determining ‘the how’ will consume you
THE 10 THINGS THAT CHANGE WHEN
YOU STOP BOOTSTRAPPING
9
1. People
2. Product
3. Process
The people doing the
work have the best idea
of how it should be done
RIGID ORDER FLEXIBLE 

EMPOWERMENT
Scale is actually more about consistent product or service
delivery rather than quality of product or service delivery.
THE 10 THINGS THAT CHANGE WHEN
YOU STOP BOOTSTRAPPING
10
1. People
2. Product
3. Process
Rinse
Repeat
Rinse
Repeat
Consistency = Repeatability = Success
