Every entrepreneur wants more opportunities. But what if chasing them is actually slowing your growth? Sir Richard Harpin started HomeServe with £50,000 and ultimately built it into a company valued at more than £4 billion. But looking back, he believes it might have become twice as large if he had learned earlier what not to pursue. Richard explains why entrepreneurs become bottlenecks as their companies grow, why execution can beat originality, and why founders should focus on their strengths rather than trying to fix every weakness. He also shares why entrepreneurs need a not-to-do list, how he nearly ran out of money twice, and the leadership changes that helped HomeServe expand around the world. This is a conversation about knowing when to push forward – and when saying no may be the smartest growth strategy of all.
