The text suggests that leaders must strengthen core processes, assess company culture, evaluate financial stability, and ensure leadership capabilities are suitable for growth before pursuing expansion. Ultimately, it advocates for a strategic, intentional pre-scale phase to build sustainable, long-term success rather than chasing short-term gains.
