Learning From Nature / by Alexander Lyadov

In this photo, ten feet behind the moose, a mountain lion is lurking.

However, neither the moose nor the informed observer can see it.

The predator does everything to reduce the chances of prey to zero.

He craves not an epic battle but a swift victory without effort. Why?

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." (Mike Tyson)

Every fight is chaos where Chance reigns supreme.

Despite the might of fangs and claws, the predator's resources are limited.

A serious injury can make this hunt the lion's last.

And a fortunate opportunity may arise again only in a month.

Therefore, the lion's ideal is a sudden and devastating attack.

The best founders intuitively follow the laws of the wild.

They systematically create conditions where their victory is inevitable.

Once the groundwork is laid, winning becomes a tad boring.

The ripe fruit falls into the founder's hand with a light touch.

Can the same be said about your business?

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
