If you think the majority of business owners don't want their businesses to grow....you're in for a rude awakening.

The allure of technology in general and silicon valley in particular is the amount of sheer wealth that you can create very quickly.

And the point he's making is that "wanting your business to grow" has almost absolutely nothing to do with wanting a billion dollar business.

It's like an athlete saying "I want to increase my endurance" vs "I want to be am ultramarathoner".

The way you train, what you do, how you spend your time, how much time you spend, the risks you take - entirely different worlds. Wanting a billion dollar business is not remotely in the minds of 99%+ of business owners.
