He also talked about the challenges he faced while scaling his businesses, and how he managed to remain sane during the process.
Nathan's suggestion to control expectations by using your own language was one of the most important lessons from the episode.

In order to accomplish this, Nathan devised his own language, which he then used to build profitable businesses.
Additionally, Nathan offered helpful advice on how to hire developers, common hiring errors, and the reasons why business owners should never do their own bookkeeping. In order to free up time for higher-value activities that can help the business expand, he emphasised the significance of assigning assignments and outsourcing jobs.
