The “Straw that broke the camel’s back” idiom refers to a small change that has a big outcome. Usually, this idiom is interpreted for negative events.
There is a positive way to look at it for entrepreneurs. For entrepreneurs, life is a puzzle that we keep adding pieces to. At times it may seem like the pieces are not making any difference until that last piece is put in and there is an exponential outcome.
What is the lesson to be learned?
Don’t focus on the outcome, focus on continuously putting the right pieces in place until that transformational moment happens.
