Big vision.
Big growth.
Big exits.
Big applause.
We celebrate BIG and BOLD like itâs the only way to be legitimate. Everyoneâs quietly told they should be aiming to be the next billionaire disruptor.
Hereâs the bit weâre not allowed to say out loud:
Most of us are not going to be âhuge successesâ in that sense.
And thatâs not a failure.
Iâve watched good people waste years trying to force their business to expand because theyâre playing the wrong script. Growth for the sake of growth. Scale because the books say so. Hustle because everyone else is.
The business bookshelf is full of promises:
âFollow these five steps and youâll dominate your industry.â
A few will.
Most wonât.
And many will burn out trying.
The future isnât mega-empires run by exhausted founders â that story survives only because survivorship bias and social media keep recycling the lie.
The future is:
⢠Small, dynamic teams
⢠Using technology wisely
⢠Deeply attuned to each other
⢠Serving a real community
⢠Living a genuinely satisfying, prosperous life
Thatâs what we build with our B.U.I.L.D. model â especially the piece most models miss: attunement. How humans actually work together under pressure, uncertainty, and change.
This path saves years of desperation.
It removes the need to âgrow or dieâ.
It replaces ego with purpose.
We donât need more mercenary entrepreneurs chasing scale.
We need people on a mission â building something that makes life better, not just bigger.
âThe object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.â
â Marcus Aurelius
If you want your team to be small, dynamic, and future-ready, give me a shout.
Letâs change the script.
