Entrepreneurs Are Forgetting to Think, Experts Warn

A growing chorus of business leaders and thinkers—from Marcus Aurelius to Warren Buffett—are sounding the alarm on a problem as old as commerce itself: entrepreneurs aren’t making enough time to think.
Despite the high stakes of running a company, most founders rush from task to task, letting habits and autopilot decisions replace deep judgment. Historic voices like Edison and Defoe called this failure “the ruin of many tradesmen,” and today’s leaders echo the sentiment.
The takeaway? Clear thinking isn’t optional—it’s a competitive advantage.
