Some ideas taken from a lecture from Clayton Christensen.

• There is no one-size-fits-all approach that anyone can offer you. 
• The hot water that softens a carrot will harden an egg.
• A big company will burn through money much faster, and a big organisation is much harder to change than a small one.
• At a basic level, there are two goals investors have when they put money into a company: growth &profitability. Neither is easy.
• +90% of all companies that ultimately become successful had to abandon their original strategy because the original plan proved not to be viable. On other words, successful companies don't succeed because they have the right strategy at the beginning; but rather, because they have money left over after the original strategy fails, so that they can pivot and try another approach.
• When the winning strategy is not clear in the initial stages of a new business, good money from investors needs to be patient for growth but impatient for profit.
