you are spot on. I was directly focused on the point in Sam's list (idea, product, team, execution) where you decide when to really focus on the execution phase of scaling and then what to do when you hit it. I think it's easy to over-focus on product design though, big companies are really bad at this, they produce polished products with great user flows and so on but miss the big win. Products like craigslist/eBay/Google weren't really great designed products to start with, they just solved a real need. As such I think Peter T's talk is really good on getting to product market fit.
