We just hit $400m in revenues. Here are 9 org chart, people moves I had to make to scale

And for the obstacles, we're either trying to attack it

or we're having to solve the first thing by avoiding it.

For example, let's say one of the obstacles is we don't have enough money.

Well, attacking it would be like, so we're going to raise money, so we're going to get debt from, I don't know, Nathan.

So we're going to do customer-based financing by charging an annual fee and getting people to switch to annual, and the customers will fund us.

There are lots of ways that you could solve that obstacle of not enough money, or you could work around it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

You could say...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
We just hit $400m in revenues. Here are 9 org chart, people moves I had to make to scale

OK, look, it's a constraint.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
We just hit $400m in revenues. Here are 9 org chart, people moves I had to make to scale

We don't have that much money.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
We just hit $400m in revenues. Here are 9 org chart, people moves I had to make to scale

That just becomes an enabling constraint.

We just hit $400m in revenues. Here are 9 org chart, people moves I had to make to scale

That's another way to do it.

So anyway, as simplistic as this might sound, it's a very easy narrative.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Remember, everyone, because of our strategy, we want to do this, but this is happening.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
We just hit $400m in revenues. Here are 9 org chart, people moves I had to make to scale

And so here's what we're going to do.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It's such a simple story.

We just hit $400m in revenues. Here are 9 org chart, people moves I had to make to scale

And so if you do this every quarter, and it takes no longer than a page to say it, everyone knows at a high level exactly what to do.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
We just hit $400m in revenues. Here are 9 org chart, people moves I had to make to scale

So again, I do this on the team level.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And you can even do this on a larger level.

And then I think doing it more often than this is not necessary.
