Today I learned that scaling a business (or even a a business model for that matter) is hard if you're not prepared for it from previous knowledge or readings. A majority of the actual businesses out there are in fact easy to identify when comparing them to other newer more radical ones. Like Steel, oil, and real estate development. But the newer ones are just crazy. Facebook for example is having a hard time getting around not just being another tech baby and trying to grow up. So they recently hired Sheryl Sandberg (she grew and scaled Googles main AdWords program to grow on its own) with only the aid of a team of 10 people or less.

Starting a business. You learn many things about yourself you didn't know you could do.
