Gratitude

As a business therapist, I help entrepreneurs, my clients. But they also give me a lot in return. First of all, it’s the insights we find together in the process of solving their difficult problems. In addition to the dopamine surge, my “scalpel” becomes sharper with each of our sessions.

Secondly, the many cases of companies of all different sizes, fates and industries, unobtrusively weave together into a stunning meta-pattern. This makes the subsequent puzzle solved faster. It turns out that the hundreds of clients I’ve worked with over the past 25 years, through me, are helping their colleague today.

Third, I draw inspiration from their real-life examples of how things can and should be done, especially in circumstances of overwhelming force. This reinforces my belief in how much a person is resourceful, resilient, and anti-fragile. As a result, I realize that I myself am capable of more. And then I pass on that belief in the superpower hidden in all of us through sessions, podcasts, articles and this newsletter.

Most importantly, clients multiply the Meaning in my life. Client appreciation reminds me that my contribution is definitely there and meaningful. As my grandmother jokingly and lovingly said when I diligently scrubbed the balcony as a child, “A cat wouldn’t do that.” After all, at a critical moment for entrepreneurs, I was the one who was there. In business, as in boxing or standup, in addition to expertise, timing decides everything.

I am grateful to Natalia Yaromenko, founder of the Beauty Tech Corporation, for the wonderful review.

Sincerely yours,
