> corporate growth mindset

> you choose

You're mixing two separate things here. The mindset is there because it's necessary, not because people choose to adopt it. If you don't, you won't succeed - those are the constraints of the system.

You could try and not participate in the system by not taking investor money and growing slowly, but then you're risking getting beaten by someone who did - which, depending on your situation, might be risking your and your family's livelihood.
