Finding bees
I was recently reading about John Bragg's philosophy to business, especially how he prioritises family and community wellbeing. But stumbled on something entirely different.
John Bragg explains, “Bees are the business’s biggest input cost.... Without bees, your yield per acre is a thousand pounds of wild blueberries; with bees it jumps to eight thousand pounds.”1
That's a great deal of difference in results. For something so evident in hindsight.
What's the equivalent of bees in your line of work? You'll break even without it, and do fabulous and well with it.
Bonus point for if it looks so evident in hindsight.
