In this entry in the axioms series, Steve makes the case for what he calls the law of parsimony: small companies win not by matching big competitors' resources, but by getting more result out of less spend, less staff, and less overhead.
He uses freight costs and lean finance teams as examples of where entrepreneurs have to be more judicious than a corporation ever needs to be, and ties it back to return on invested capital as the metric that actually matters.
A short, practical reminder for anyone feeling like they're competing against companies with far deeper pockets.
