A story about balance

by | Jan 21, 2020 | Blog

This past Sunday I spent my day reading, recharging, and hanging out with my son. 

(Full disclosure: I did record one podcast interview …) 

I work hard all week, but I remind myself that business is a marathon and not a sprint – so balance is key.

Speaking of balance, I heard an interesting story before:

Back in the 1950’s, the World Health Organization (WHO) decided to try to solve a malaria problem in Borneo.

So it employed the pesticide DDT on the local mosquito population, and for awhile that seemed to work as there were fewer mosquitos and cases of malaria … but then the villagers roofs started collapsing on the villagers and a typhoid epidemic broke out.

Why? Well, this is where the importance of balance comes into play.

Because the local lizards began eating the insects with the DDT, they were full of the toxic chemical.

The lizards were then eaten by the cats in the village, which wiped out the cat population.

With no cats, the rat population skyrocketed, carrying typhus-infested fleas.

The roofs started caving in because the DDT killed the wasps, which normally would have eaten the caterpillars that were now eating the roofs …

Everything was out of balance!

(I realize that this story has been questioned by some, especially when rumours started going around that cats were later parachuted down from the air to try to get things back in balance in Borneo …)

Anyways, I’ve started filling the next Coaching Jungle Mastermind group and each one is balanced by coaches with different experiences and niches.

We start this one in February, and you can learn more here:
