... Sagmeister believes that remaining small has been the key to retaining his integrity as a designer and making ideas happen. He explains, “The conventional wisdom in our business is that you have to grow and keep moving to survive. We never grew, always stayed tiny, and it serves us very well over the years, allowing us to pick and choose projects, and keeping our financial independence from our clients.

I think part of this is about deciding what's important and your definition of success.
I think people are getting tired of the corporate "rat race" and want to work on their OWN terms and be happier, even if that means making less money.

running a small company is definitely more fun than running in the rat race!
