THE ART OF WAR
Chapter 2 : Waging War
Part 4 of 6 : The Poverty of the State

[Quote]
Contributing to maintain an army at a distance causes the people to be impoverished. When their substance is drained away, the peasantry will be afflicted by heavy exactions.

[Analysis]
This is the danger of 'Over-Expansion'. In the modern world, we are often told to be everywhere at once - on every social platform, in every niche, in every market. But Sun Tzu warns that maintaining a 'force at a distance' impoverishes the center. When you spread your focus too thin, your core business - your 'Peasantry' - suffers. You lose the very thing that made you successful in the first place.

[Action]
Where is your focus being 'taxed' right now? Identify one 'distant' project that is draining your core energy and pause it. Protect the center of your 'State' first; only then do you have the right to expand.
