Symptom vs. Cause / by Alexander Lyadov

Helping someone get rid of their issues is tough. It's way simpler to temporarily ease their pain. Just prescribe some painkillers, disguise the consequences, or entertain them.

Just like after Prosecco, everything feels lighter, safer, and more fun. Sadly, a few hours later, drowsiness kicks in. Or a brutal hangover if that heavenly state was fueled by whiskey and wine.

In business, group strategy sessions and team training often serve the same purpose as Botox or a new haircut in life. There's usually no systemic improvement, just a cosmetic effect. Why?

The conditions for transformation aren't ripe yet. Because the focus is shifted.

The founder should get sick and tired of this "Groundhog Day." Pain relievers only push him deeper into a dead end. He'll desperately seek a way out.

Why couldn't anyone help him? The problem is an integral part of his lifestyle. The latter is based on beliefs. Not everyone is ready to question them.

One day, you decide: "I am the root cause of all my problems." You become the origin. Following you, your business begins to improve on its own.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
