Notable Quotes:

"When we're naturally good at something, we develop these wonderfully intuitive ways of working. They serve us perfectly when we start out. But then our business grows, opportunities expand, and suddenly these same approaches that helped us succeed start feeling like they're holding us back."

"The best systems will always support your natural way of working rather than forcing you to change it completely."
