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, hiringTraining talent from scratch (and watching them outgrow you 👀)Walking away from easy revenue to protect your nicheThe 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.
