Entropy - The reason why life is a struggle!

Reader, have you ever felt like life is a constant struggle?

As time passes, things seem to become more complex.

Here are a few scenarios that you can relate...

Last month, business was thriving, but this month, you were unable to achieve even half of that level.

Your relationship with your spouse or parent was going smoothly, but suddenly it takes a turn for the worse.

Your car unexpectedly begins to show a few issues!

Sounds familiar?

Me too, I wanted to understand why things are complex😕

Have you ever heard of the concept of Entropy?
​
It is a Mental model that can help you in navigating this complexity.
​
(A mental model is a condensed representation of how something functions. It applies to any idea, concept, or belief.)
​
​Essentially, entropy implies that everything in the universe tends towards chaos and destruction.
​
​This applies to all aspects of life, including your business, your car, and even your body.
​
For example, your body is slowly deteriorating as it ages. Health and other issues will start to appear.
​
So how can you prevent this process of Entropy?
​
​By recognizing and protecting the initial conditions.
​
​For your body, this means sleeping well, eating balanced nutrition food, regularly exercising, and so on.
​
The same applies to your business.
​
You must identify the initial conditions that ensure its smooth operation and make every effort to safeguard them.
​
My business grew on referrals-

most of my customers came by seeing my work.
​
I haven't relied much on ads to grow it. (my business model is like that)
​
I am not satisfied until I give my best.

I always kept a standard
​
I always strive to provide my best work, so that I can get more customers..

I know it sounds like boasting but I want you to understand the situation of how I grew my business.

So, what are these initial conditions for your business?

It could be running ads or hosting webinars or conducting workshops..

That depends on the situation on how it grew, it's different for each business!

You need to take some time to reflect and identify the initial conditions of your business.

Then consider whether you doing anything to protect and enrich these conditions..

By understanding the concept of Entropy and taking steps to counteract it, you can make your life a little less chaotic and a little more manageable :)
