What Are Common Stumbling Blocks To Business Growth?

Episode notes

In this episode, we examine The 5 Threatening Truths of Business: The Technical Founder Paradox: When the skills, abilities, and mindset of the founders, which were crucial to starting and growing the business, are what stand in the way of the business’ sustainability and scalability. The Fragile Grip Principle: The acknowledgment of how the fragile relationship, between employers and employees, is handled by businesses greatly impacts their future success. The Revenue Stabilizing Blindspot: The effect caused by businesses undervaluing positions that stabilize revenue, instead only favoring positions that generate revenue. The Business Law of The Linchpin: The dependency businesses create on a single person or position for stability and growth that puts the business’ sustainability at risk. The Action is Reaction Fallacy: The mistaken mindset that the business can survive and grow by only reacting, that success can come without acting with strategic intent. Our prescription for this episode: take a step back and reflect on the degree to which these Threatening Truths are influencing your business.
