The formula is D × V + F > R. Dissatisfaction times Vision, plus First steps, must be greater than Resistance. Wanting change isn't enough — you need enough dissatisfaction, a clear enough vision, and a simple enough first step to overcome the resistance that's keeping you stuck. I share my own story of freezing mid-presentation in front of executives, how that humiliation fueled a decade-long journey through Toastmasters, and how that same formula applies to business owners who are exhausted, stalled, and ready for something to give.
