Quotes
“As you grow, your margins need to grow too. If your margins don’t increase as you scale, you won’t have the funds to support that growth. Competition intensifies, and the pool of opportunities becomes harder to capture since there are only so many searches happening at any given time.” - Avi Kumar
"Websites aren’t ideal for paid ads—you need a dedicated landing page where visitors have a focused experience and can’t easily navigate away." - Avi Kumar
“Instead of seeking an aspirational mentor, try finding more pragmatic mentors who are only a few steps ahead of you, rather than someone who’s 100 steps ahead. You can get so much farther that way.” - Avi Kumar
