In physics, a pendulum’s swing is defined by its amplitude, how far it moves from the center. The farther it moves, the stronger its return.
But the pendulum never stays at the extreme. The moment it hits the edge, gravity pulls it back. That’s the nature of cycles.
Say in music, from baithakis to cloud streaming and now, live gigs are in again.
From malls to D2C, from full automation to “handmade”, from digital-only to in-person experiences the pendulum keeps swinging.
There are those who chase every swing.
And those who anticipate the momentum, recognize the extremes, and prepare for the return.
When everyone’s rushing in one direction, ask: what’s at the other end of this swing?
That’s often where your next opportunity lies.
Because in business or in physics the pendulum never really stops.
