They call business a corporate body for a reason.
If the body runs right, it keeps growing—bigger, tougher, stronger. Folks say a tight team moves like one living organism.
But here’s the nuance most skip: the big body of a business is fractally similar to its smallest part—the body of the founder. At least it is, as long as control hasn’t passed to private or public investors, but remains with the one who created it.
If the company starts stumbling, slowing down, or bleeding losses, don’t rush to blame the team, fix the processes, or chase funds. Eye the top dog close.
A pale face? Puffy eyes? A scattered voice? Bet the whole company feels it too. Teams start clashing. Contractors fail. Clients make mountains out of molehills.
Want to heal the business? The founder must recover first.
Every renewal of a company’s body repeats its birth—when the Creator once burned with a Wow-idea that simply had to be brought to life.
Yours sincerely,
