• Does your growth stop or wane when your effort stops? (Fireworks)


• What happens if you occasionally switch your marketing spend off? Does your revenue

It’s the massive amount of energy that’s necessary just to keep your operation going on a day-to-day basis; and, ironically, it’s also the thing that makes it so hard to execute anything new. The whirlwind robs from you the focus required to move your team forward.

flywheel is a heavy circular weight that can be used to store energy. Apply energy to the wheel and it begins to spin. It starts slowly due to its natural inertia, however, the more energy you apply to the wheel the more momentum you build up and the faster it spins. At some point, you can stop applying energy and the flywheel will keep spinning on

Organizations without the components of a flywheel already in place—such as early-stage entrepreneurial companies—can sometimes jump-start the process by importing insights from flywheels that others have built.

Consistency is key: The “Flywheel” concept is another valuable tool for managers. Collins describes it as the process of building momentum through consistent and disciplined actions, which over time lead to breakthrough results. For managers, this means focusing on steady, incremental improvements rather than seeking quick fixes or dramatic shifts
