Obesity Is a Disease — In the Body, and in Business.
When we scale a business from small to large, it’s natural to accumulate “fat” in various areas.
But just like in the human body, this fat can slow you down, create complications, and threaten long-term survival.
Where Does This Business Fat Hide?
🔸 Over-hiring
🔸 Excessive capital expenditure — especially when funded by debt
🔸 Rising repair and maintenance costs
🔸 Unnecessary, fancy infrastructure upgrades
🔸 Uncontrolled travel and freight costs
🔸 Idle or underutilized plants and machinery
🔸 Post-sale service backlog and cost accumulation
🔸 Non-moving inventories
🔸 Long-term illiquid investments
🔸 Heavy borrowings with no short-term ROI
What’s the Cure?
It’s called Consolidation.
Sometimes the right move is not to accelerate, but to pause, reflect, and realign.
Take a deep breath and evaluate:
Is your business truly healthy, or just overweight?
