They don&rsquo;t get too big but they can grow faster than their infrastructure and processes.</p> <p><a href="https://stormyscorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_20151202_153904.jpg"><img src="https://stormyscorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_20151202_153904-1024x768.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></a></p> <p>Take for comparison, the size of companies and cities. Companies come in sizes from one person LLCs to 100,000 employee megaliths. Cities come in sizes from a single person farm to enormous cities with 10&rsquo;s of millions. Are some big companies too big for some people? Absolutely. Are big companies good at getting certain types of tasks done? Yes. Some people prefer some companies and small towns (maybe not the same set of people) and some people prefer big cities and large companies (again, maybe not the same set of people.)</p>
