Coles THE SPIDER'S HOUSE : How Entrepreneurs Spot Fragile Dependencies and Build Ventures That Won't Collapse at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
One invisible thread can destroy your entire business.
You've built something beautiful. Steady revenue. Loyal customers. A tight operation. But underneath, fragile dependencies are hiding in plain sight:
One client brings in 70% of your income → that's not a client, it's a noose.
Your only supplier is in one country → a fire, a strike, or a currency crash away from disaster.
You are the only person who knows how to fix the machine, contact the wholesaler, or calm an angry customer → your sickness is the collapse.
Most entrepreneurs only discover these threads when they snap. Then it's too late.
The Spider's House gives you a different path. Drawing from real ventures across Africa, Asia, Europe, and global giants like Toyota and Apple, Abdallah Kassim shows you how to:
See your invisible web – map every hidden dependency before it breaks.
Apply the 30% Rule – no single customer, supplier, or bank should ever hold more than 30% of your critical resources.
Build smart redundancy on a budget – warm backups, dormant threads, and local pivots that cost almost nothing.
Cut rotten threads – fire toxic clients and failing partners without sinking your venture.
Scale without breaking – grow your revenue while keeping every thread strong.
What you get:
11 ready‑to‑use tools (Dependency Map, Fragility Scorecard, Shock Simulator, Divorce Checklist, Scaling Compass…)
21 survivor stories – from a spice trader in Zanzibar to the boardrooms of Netflix and IKEA
15‑minute weaving exercises at the end of every chapter
An Emergency Escape Map – what to do when a crisis is already here
Whether you're a first‑time founder, a solopreneur, or a second‑time builder who's already felt a web collapse – this book is your field manual.
The storm is coming. Build a house that dances in the wind.
