Grow to scale or grow to sustain? The Founder dilemma

Grow to scale or grow to sustain?
The founder dilemma no one talks about enough.

Big vision. Bigger risks.
And a million micro-decisions in between.

This week’s Microsoft Mentors Live is a proper deep dive with Mitesh Chauhan — founder of LA Net.

We cover the gritty side of building a Microsoft services business from scratch:

• Wearing every hat — delivery, sales, accounting, hiring

• Training talent from scratch (and watching them outgrow you 👀)

• Walking away from easy revenue to protect your niche

The big question we kept circling back to:

➡️ Are you building to scale?
➡️ Or building to sustain?

Two very different mindsets.Two very different outcomes.
Neither wrong — but one will burn you out if you’re not honest about what you're really chasing.

🎙️ It’s one of my favourite chats so far — and a must-watch for anyone growing an MSP, Microsoft Partner, or technical consultancy.
