And now you’re realizing… this may not be the right path.
But you keep going.Why?
Because of the most dangerous trap in decision-making:The sunk cost fallacy...
Most people try to grow profit by selling more or cutting costs.
That’s fine—but also lazy.
The better move? Map your business activities. Identify which ones add value—and which ones bleed it.

Hey there,
Let’s be real.
Most people waste their weekends — especially rainy ones.

Enter the Business Model Canvas (BMC)—a one-page tool that lays ou...
Most businesses measure success the same way:Revenue. Profit. Growth.
