The biggest challenge in business is to create the right conditions - necessary and sufficient ones, to be precise.
When the dominoes are lined up just right, a single touch can set off a beautiful chain reaction in an instant.
Of course, that’s not always possible. In lean times, even a bear has to settle for berries or chase prey over long distances.
But it’s a different story during the salmon run. The bear finds the perfect spot by the rapids, and the fish leap into his mouth, just like a fairy tale. There are so many, he couldn’t eat them all.
Creating the right conditions means being in the right place at the right time.
For an entrepreneur, this is an immense yet invisible labor. First, you work hard—with your head, hands, and feet—so that later, people will say you’re just lucky.
This is why entrepreneurship isn’t something you can teach in business school. The magic happens below the surface, far “underwater.”
A better way to learn is through apprenticeship, where the master is Reality itself, and the founder’s task is to seek feedback from it with gratitude.
This kind of collaboration breeds success after success.
Yours sincerely,
