Need advice on common growth pitfalls
1 point by jgrebski on July 29, 2015 | hide | past | favorite
Long story short my company is busting at the seams and we can't hire quickly enough - while awesome - it brings with it a whole slew of additional problems. We need to define more concrete systems into place, hire additional support roles, etc. etc. all this is a given, but there doesn't seem to be too much literature out there that focuses on going from 5 to 20 in a year and to 60 the next, fundamentally managing that growth while avoiding common pitfalls.

With that - we are a bootstrapped services company, so revenue is directly tied to how much work we can churn out (human capital) and demand is through the roof.

Books, compliance, taxes, all that other fun stuff is in order.

Has anyone had this problem? Can you provide a good book to read through? What are things we should watch out for?
