It&#x27;s not always a good idea to grow your company outwards - if you&#x27;re good at what you do, it&#x27;s better to do it even better than to start doing other stuff you&#x27;re not good at.  Oftentimes, bigger teams and more resources don&#x27;t help with that.<p>History is full of companies (eg. Lotus, Evernote, Clinkle) that lost focus and floundered because they had too many resources available, and also of ones (eg. Apple after Steve Jobs&#x27;s return) that took off after they cut their product lines and laid off people.
