There are times when a founder loses interest in his company.
And, paradoxically, it is worse if it is generating some profits.
If the company was loss-making, the owner would have shut it down a long time ago.
But it is unbearable to leave it, and there is no energy to pull it forward.
Attempts to transfer the helm to other hands regularly fail.
Having inquired about the possibility of selling, he hears the insultingly low price.
The founder has to force himself hard just to get to the office in the morning.
The team notices that the leader is both present and absent at meetings.
There are a number of grim endings to where this suspension inevitably leads.
Clearly, the problem is not business, people, or circumstance.
Though the mind readily generates explanations for why this is the status quo.
The tragedy of this entrepreneur is that he is holding himself back.
More precisely, the trap is a false formulation of the root problem.
So freedom is both unattainable and literally at his fingertips.
Maybe the one who said you have everything you need is right.
Yours sincerely,
