Ismael Valdez: 我认为企业在考虑扩张之前，必须达到一定的规模和盈利水平。我的经验法则是，企业需要达到2000万到2500万美元的收入，并且内部运营需要有一个结构化的管理系统，能够产生利润。只有这样，你才能考虑增加第二个行业或第二个、第三个地点。这真的很难。我曾经只关注增长，后来才意识到利润的重要性，没有利润，企业很难应对突发情况。我建议如果没有10%的利润，就应该专注于盈利能力。 Tommy Mello: 我非常同意Ismael的观点。企业扩张需要谨慎，不能盲目追求增长而忽视了盈利能力。企业应该在确保盈利的前提下，逐步扩大规模。同时，企业也需要建立一个完善的管理系统，以便更好地控制成本和提高效率。利润是企业生存和发展的根本，只有拥有足够的利润，企业才能应对各种风险和挑战。
