Do Not Fall In Love With Motion. Fall In Love With Mastery.

When you watch Netflix’s Frankenstein and focus on the monster, I think you miss one of the major lessons in the story. I usually can't stop thinking about the creator. Here is a guy so desperate to prove he could build something extraordinary that he never stopped to ask if he was building something he could actually control.

Tell me that is not the most common human mistake on earth.

I have seen it in myself. Early on, I kept creating. New offers. New clinics. New ideas. New initiatives. New companies. All gas, no brakes. I was stacking wins, but I was also stacking chaos. I wanted to be the guy who could do it all, so I kept building faster than I was thinking. Faster than I was documenting. Faster than I was training my people. Eventually the business started dragging me behind it. And once you reach that point, you are not a visionary. You are a hostage.

That is Frankenstein. Not the monster. The builder who let his ambition run ahead of his structure. His ego run ahead of his stewardship. His vision run ahead of his preparation.

The monster did not turn on him out of malice. It turned on him because he never taught it how to serve him.

Entrepreneurs do the same thing every time they scale without systems, hire without clarity, or launch without boundaries. They create something powerful, then act shocked when it starts overrunning their life.

Here is the takeaway. Do not fall in love with motion. Fall in love with mastery. Build slowly enough that you can lead what you create. Build intentionally enough that your business becomes an asset instead of a creature you have to chase.

If you want the thing you build to serve you, then build it with intention, not impulse. That is how you avoid creating your own monster.
