Why 'Doing More' is a Losing Game for Founders. 🤔 This author, Nell Derick Debevoise, argues that we've been sold a lie: that more hustle = more fulfilment. In reality, focusing too hard on just one area of life leads to a "diminishing returns trap." Think of it like this - 👉 Pour everything into Work (WE)? Your health & relationships suffer. 👉 Pour everything into Self-Care (ME)? Your professional performance and impact might stall. 👉 Pour everything into a Cause (WORLD)? You risk personal burnout and neglecting your loved ones. The article proposes a powerful alternative, a "Formula for Fulfillment," which is all about ALIGNMENT, not just effort. Here's the formula she suggests: Compounding Returns = (ME + WE + WORLD) x Alignment It's about intentionally investing your energy across these three key dimensions: ✅ ME: Your personal well-being, clarity, and energy. ✅ WE: The performance and culture of your teams, family, and relationships. ✅ WORLD: Your broader contribution, legacy, and systemic impact. When these three are aligned and invested in together, the returns don't just add up; they multiply and compound, creating sustainable momentum and genuine fulfilment. The author's challenge to all of us is simple but profound: Stop asking, "What more can I do?" Start asking, "Where am I underinvesting?" It’s a powerful reframe for every founder. True success isn't about being the busiest; it's about being the most ALIGNED. As you head into the weekend, what's one neglected part of your "ME, WE, or WORLD" that you could invest a little energy in? 👇
