Quote:
“Business advice books talk endlessly about 'failing fast and forward' but perhaps less often mentioned is really leaning in when you find success. If you have a test that works it’s important to act and actually lean into that test to scale it up. Without actually expanding on the things that are proven to work, you’re never going to have a transformative impact.”
