Money as an Accelerant

We constantly wish we have more money.

More money lets us upgrade on everything.

It lets us hire more people.

It lets us build more features.

It lets us grow.

But money is only an accelerant.

It only lets you do more of whatever you are already doing – faster.

If you don’t yet know what you are doing,

it only gets you lost faster.

Even when you do know what you are doing,

upgrading on all fronts at once,

only lowers overall throughput.

More people mean more miscommunication.

More features mean more complexity.

Money is like rocket fuel.

Carefully used, it can get you to your destination.

Carelessly used, it will either blow up in your face or

get you lost in deep space.
