🟩 When the business map does not match the road

Aug 16, 2025 3:31 pm

Hi ,

It is graduation day.

You have the diploma in your hand, the MBA letters after your name, and the world feels wide open.


You have studied the case studies.

You have mastered the frameworks.

You can recite the steps to growth and profitability.


You feel ready.


Then you launch your first real venture.

And the wind hits you in the face like you just stepped outside during a storm.


Clients ignore the careful logic in your pitch.

Markets change without sending you an email warning.

Strategies that looked bulletproof in the classroom suddenly fall apart in the real world.


You start to realize something that no professor ever told you.

Business is not a controlled experiment.

It is messy, unpredictable, and often unfair.


This is the shock many fresh MBA graduates face.


The knowledge is valuable, but it is only one part of the equation.

What really counts is adaptability when your perfect plan unravels.

Resilience when the deal you counted on falls through.

Decisiveness when you have incomplete information but still need to act.


The map you studied in school is still useful.

But you have to accept that the road will never match it exactly.

And sometimes, the road will disappear entirely.


Relentlessly dedicated to your profitability,

Dr. Kayvon K
