Rafael explores the structural vulnerabilities of small and family-owned businesses, examining why so many fail to survive beyond their founders. Through a compelling analysis of how founders become trapped by their own indispensability, he highlights how total control ultimately prevents a business from outliving its creator. It is a timely and insightful piece that sheds light on succession challenges in economies like Cyprus, offering a thoughtful perspective on the heavy price of sole proprietorship and the difficult choice between going fast alone or going far with others. In a reflective and mature manner, Rafael wonders whether the ultimate trap of success is building something so dependent on yourself that it cannot survive your absence."}
