What Is a Business Fable?

Once upon a time, a young entrepreneur wanted to create a dream life by building a successful business. This hero or heroine embarked on a journey to discover the secrets of creating such a business. He or she overcame great challenges, foes and obstacles to obtain this dream, nearly failing several times. Finally, after learning these secrets, the hero or heroine overcame the final battle and achieved his or her heart’s desire for a great business and lifestyle.

This is the story arc of a business fable. The best business fables engage readers by taking them on an enchanted journey while teaching valuable lessons.


The enchanted journey may take the form of:

  • a cartoon character (such as a mouse) going on a journey (like finding new cheese).
  • an ancient character (such as a wealthy merchant) living in an ancient land (Babylon).
  • a wise sage (business owner) guiding a young novice (entrepreneur).
  • an accomplished business leader training team members in a fictional company. 

The lessons may cover any number of business topics, including the following:

  • Wealth
  • Leadership
  • Sales
  • Management
