All this growth btw has been unpleasant and not something I would ever sign up for if I didn’t have to. When I’m on top of things , the growth stalls completely, and if I had an opportunity to make enough big money to get of the need to grow this way entirely I’d grab it.

This sort of thread is almost completely useless. I do them just to lay things out clearly for myself. People who get it don’t need it, people who need it will likely never get it. They’ll just navigate VUCA with fear, anger, contempt, cruelty, and multiply and spread rage pain.
