What I take from this post, is that sometimes, getting immediate revenues that can lead to immediate growth are more important than taking measures for scalable growth that will lead to future revenues. With no immediate revenues, there might be no future.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make PBC in Oct due to previous commitments, but I love the program and will be at any future ones I can make!

Excited to watch this level of focus pay off for the PivotDesk team over the coming quarters!

Ignoring things is quite hard especially when you’re trying to get a lot done. But you really need to focus on things that work to create results.

“I knew this meant leaving opportunity on the table but the only way to help more businesses longterm was to devote our attention to only a portion of them for right now.” ~ David Mandell

Hope to see you at Patriot Boot Camp in Detroit. Enjoyed learning from you at PBC NY Goldman Sachs.
