Expect Chaos

Here is an interesting article about how small businesses (or, at least, what starts as a small business) needs to think about scaling up into a large business. The article features a lengthy story and recounting of an interview/conversation with LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman. (see article). The main takeaway from the lengthy article is that entrepreneurs beginning to scale up should “expect chaos.” Id. I think that this advice can be generalized to many aspects of life. Entrepreneurs and attorneys alike should be ready for chaos. We can’t always expect everything to line up perfectly. You need to be adaptable to the situation. I think that thinking like this can help us both serve our clients and to improve our own lives.
