🚀 Find Your Slowest Dog

“The entire bottleneck concept is not geared to decrease operating expense, it’s focused on increasing throughput.”
— Eliyahu M. Goldratt

❄️ The Sled Dog Metaphor That Changes Everything
You’re halfway through the 900-mile Iditarod.  -20°F. Blinding snow. Your sled starts dragging! Is it the  gear? The terrain? Is it a single tired dog?

Until you can identify what holding you back, you will just keep getting colder and slower and even ❄️ colder ❄️!

🎯 Lesson: Your progress is always constrained by the slowest, least optimized part of your system.

Whether you’re scaling a business, writing a book, launching a product or rebuilding your energy, the same rule applies: You’re only as fast as your slowest dog.

🧠 The Hidden Engine of High Performers

Massive progress doesn't come from doing everything. It comes from doing the right thing next.

When you shift from random effort to system-based optimization, you don’t just work harder… 🔄 You compound your momentum.

⚙️ 5-Step Bottleneck Breakthrough Loop

1️⃣ Pinpoint the Bottleneck
Ask: What part of your workflow, mindset, habits, or team is consistently dragging behind the rest? Where’s the most resistance?

2️⃣ Make It Top Priority
Your system can’t move faster than this weak link.
Pause all lower-leverage improvements and go all-in here at the point of drag.

3️⃣ Repair, Replace, or Rewire
Upgrade a tool. Get mentorship. Break a belief. Eliminate a drag. Don’t leave it as-is—transform it.

4️⃣ Reassess the System
Once resolved, re-run your diagnostics. A new bottleneck will appear.. But this is good! You’re evolving.

5️⃣ Keep Iterating Weekly
This isn’t a one-time fix. It’s a performance ritual. The best don’t guess: they iterate.
