The religion of scale. Scaling has it\u2019s benefits, but has it\u2019s shortcomings as well. I call this a religion because entrepreneurs tend to have very strong attachments to this view point and get very defensive about it.&amp;nbsp; So what is the Religion of Scale? It\u2019s the belief that success is equal to, or measured solely by, your ability to scale your business by growing your team, doubling or tripling your revenue, going national or maybe even international, that bigger is always better.
