(keeping it to four to six), sketch the flywheel. Where does the flywheel start—what’s the top of the loop? What follows next? And next after that? You should be able to explain why each component follows from the prior component. Outline the path back to the top of the loop. You should be able to explain how this loop cycles back upon itself to accelerate momentum. If you have more than six components, you’re making it too complicated; consolidate and simplify to capture the essence of the flywheel. Test the flywheel against your list of successes and disappointments. Does your empirical
