What's the one thing your business canāt lose?
Every business has one.
A single weak link that, if removed, could bring everything to a halt.
For some, itās a supplier. For others, itās one key employee, a system, or even a customer relationship that the business relies on too much. If you lost it tomorrow, could your business keep running?
I was reminded of this during a story about Davidās Protein Bars. Their founder, Peter Rahal, realized early on that their most critical ingredient came from just one supplier: Epogee. He knew if that supplier couldnāt keep up, the entire business could collapse. So, he made a bold move: he bought the supplier.
Thatās what protecting against a bottleneck looks like in the real world. Itās not about growth being slow, itās about fragility.
Most CEOs are so focused on sales or operations that they miss the deeper risks sitting right inside their business. A bottleneck isnāt always visible until itās too late.
Thatās why I built this tool to help you find it before it finds you:
