The Business Cycle

In the cycle of life, a plateau is called maturity.  The cycle of life is this: birth, growth, maturity, decline, and then ….

The business cycle follows this same natural cycle.  Start-up, growth, maturity (e.g., a plateau), decline.  Left unto itself, your business or organization is likely going to follow that natural progression.

Ask your typical entrepreneur.  Start-up is fun.  Growth is pretty cool.  Plateaus and declines – not so much.
