I had a few conversations this week around making big changes to business to make bigger moves and then I read this quote from Warren Buffet that gave me a better perspective.
“The interesting thing about business, it’s not like the Olympics. You don’t get any extra points for the fact that something’s very hard to do. So, you might as well just step over one-foot bars, instead of trying to jump over seven-foot bars.”
~ Warren Buffett
