What you'll get

Elliot Begoun, who runs a firm that coaches small natural-products brands, argues that most of the capital open to founders pushes them toward fast growth, and that a profitable brand growing at a slower pace is a real but underfunded middle path.

Do this week

Write one sentence saying whether you're building for fast growth on investors' money or for a profitable brand you own, and name the first source of cash that choice would depend on.
