 When should a founder find a professional CEO to replace him as the head of the company? Building a business is like raising a child. The best time to hand-over the child to the world is when the child is financially independent. Then, we continue to forever hold a nurturing space for our adult children for the rest of our lives, from far. So, it is for businesses. The Business Growth Cycle has 5 milestones: Mountain 1 - Mountain of Purpose - This is when we birth the business with our purpose-inspiration. Mountain 2 - Mountain of Value - This is when we experience Toddler Tantrums. We won't know how to lead at this stage if we don't develop ourselves as Leaders. Every next mountain on the Business Growth Cycle requires us to be a different kind of a leader. The earlier leadership depth is no longer sufficient. The same way we face trouble in parenting our kids if we don't grow in Parenting Depth with every milestone of our Children's Growth Journey. On this Mountain, it is the founder's job to find a profitable business model. Getting a professional CEO at this time is like giving away your baby to a Nanny. Not a good idea because your business will learn values from the nanny, not from you, and will grow up to be someone not sourced in your values and purpose. Mountain 3 - Mountain of Growth - This is when we will experience Teenage Tantrums. We need to grow to the next gear of Leadership Depth to lead effectively on this mountain. This is a mountain where we build in repeatability and scalability into our business model through Process Excellence. Hiring a Professional CEO at this stage is like getting a Child Counsellor for our child because we don't have the Parenting Depth to embrace our Teen to soothe her and her tantrums. Mountain 4 - Mountain of Scale - This is when we will experience our Young Adult child's Confusion hidden behind a false Bravado as he steps out into the world. On this Mountain, having built a purpose-inspired, values-sourced, profitable, repeatable, scalable business model, we are ready to step up the accelerator to scale our business if we have stepped up on to the next gear of Leadership Depth. On this Mountain, it is important to identify a Professional CEO and start coaching and training him to succeed you to create even bigger success than you. This stage is like sending your Young Adult Child to a college that will give her a foundation to create even greater success than you and requires even greater Parenting Depth than before. Otherwise, you will feel like a sad empty nester instead a deeply fulfilled parent. Mountain 5 - Mountain of Mastery - This is when our Young Adult Child has become a Responsible, Confident Adult standing on his own feet, financially and emotionally. It is time to step up on your Leadership Depth to leave your business in the hands of the Professional CEO and your baby, now a full-grown adult, in the hands of the Universe. You will continue to hold nurturing space from far for your business and your Young Adult to fly high in the vast sky of their limitless possibilities, forever available to them for mentorship, guidance and support. You are now ready to nurture another business to greatness 💜 Loving you, j.

 What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. - Viktor Frankl, Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor, Author - Man's Search for Meaning, one of the key figures in existential therapy. Do not confuse Ease and Grace with being in your Comfort Zone. Ease and Grace means being ease and grace outside your Comfort Zone. Growth exists only outside our Comfort Zone. In our Comfort Zone, lies mediocrity and a deadening of the life force in us. Our access to happiness and fulfilment is through growth - personal, professional, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. Therefore, our happiness and fulfilment lies outside our Comfort Zone. Living Beings are designed for growth. If a plant is not growing, it is dying. So, it is with human beings. If we are not growing, we are dying. Our physical body may take longer to disintegrate but without growth and the challenges that come along with that; our heart, mind, body, soul die a slow death. To be on a lifelong journey of learning, and growth as an outcome of that is our human design. Therefore, we maximise our Happiness and Fulfilment, when we maximise our Growth. Maximising our Growth is also called Achieving our Highest Potential. Who defines and limits our Highest Potential - we do that through our Dreams. Bigger, Crazier, Impossible, Unimaginable our dreams; greater the growth available to us as we play to realize our dreams; greater our Potential we fulfil. How do we measure how much of our potential we have fulfilled? We can measure how much of our potential we have fulfilled by the quantum of positive impact we have created in the world through our work by living our Purpose on the spiritual playground of our Business. Our potential is limitless. The growth available to us is limitless. The positive impact we can create is limitless. This is the Good to Great journey we are on, our Hero's journey to - Dream Big. Learn Big. Create Big. Impact Big. Grow Big. Happiness Big. Fulfilment Big. Joy Big. Wealth and Success is a by-product of this journey, not the reason for the journey, because wealth and success is a measure of the positive impact we are creating in the world through our work. When we go on our Hero's journey, we change the DNA of the human race which is about being content with mediocrity and comfort-zones; transforming what it means to be a human being; gifting ourselves and our children with a new way of Being, a Space of Grace within and a beautiful Brave New World to live in. Continue walking forward, one tiny step at a time, on your Hero's journey to lead yourself and your business from good to great, realize your dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure along the way. The striving and struggling for some goal worthy of us is the fun and adventure part of our journey 💜 Loving you, j. |
