Story: Excerpt from the rough copy of "End Down, Start Up: The Parabolic Arc of Business", Chapter 6:

Things will change, and the hardest thing to change is space. If you need more money, you can borrow it; more people can be hired; and more products can be bought. Most things can be upgraded once you know that the demand is there, but it's better to have at least a little foresight and plan ahead. This means buying a bigger office than you need right now, more durable devices, and establishing ways that you can grow quickly.

You don't need to overdo it and get a lot more than you currently need, because your needs may change in the future. It's best to guess what you'll need in a year and see what you can do to get it now, or at least plan a way to get it quickly. Planning for tomorrow may look like excess today, yet today is only one instant.
