Imagine your business is a soccer ball. The big goal is to become champion. The next one is to win this match. The small one is to kick the ball right now.
By sharing a bit of kinetic energy, you bring the ball to "life", so now it rolls, bounces, or flies for a while.
If you look at the game through the eyes of a child — or a pedantic statistician — the conclusion seems obvious: most of the time, the ball moves on its own. And if that free, energetic ball could talk, it would surely boast:
“I connect people, fly over obstacles, score goals. Without my constant motion, there would be no game at all.”
That's the line everyone tied to the company feeds you—managers, stock holders, lenders, advisors, the lot. After all, they’re the ones keeping the “motion” going 24/7/365.
They got no time (or taste) to wonder: "Who kicked the spark into the ball?"
This applies not only to business but to the individual as well. The question only arises when, for some reason, the inner Game has stopped. And in every case, the answer is the same:
