The Loop

There’s always a loop in all we do.

The best organizations find them and fuel them, but some break them.

Not in the sense that what goes around doesn’t come around, but what’s sent into the loop is damaging to it.

Quick example: A city wants businesses to pay for lost revenue of the parking meters they use for their festival. This leads to higher participation fees for businesses, which leads to fewer businesses participating, which leads to a less impactful festival, which leads to fewer people visiting the street for the first time, which leads to fewer people coming back at another time and paying for parking.

The loop is there, but it’s broken because someone didn’t recognize its existence.

What goes around always comes around.

Best be sure we’re keeping our eye out for the loops we participate in and put intention into the “what” of the equation.

Stay Positive & Find And Fuel The Loops
