102: Paul Jarvis - Staying Small
In this episode Adam talks to Paul Jarvis about defining your own version of success and why you might not need to build a big business to achieve it.
Topics include:
- Why "success" shouldn't mean the same thing to everyone
- How to stay small without doing all the work you don't want to do yourself
- Why it's important to define what "enough" is for your business instead of always feeling the need to do better than you did last year
- Questions to ask yourself to figure out what "success" would be for you
- How knowing your "enough" can help you build better products for the people you want to serve
- Why you should ignore the people who don't like what you're doing and double down on the people who love it
