Over and over again, business founders find themselves in a trap! A growth trap where they feel trapped by their business – not only is it running their life; it’s consuming almost every waking hour; they are working as much as they can; and YET... they have this feeling that something could be better; something could be different.
In this episode, I’ll talk about the growth trap; the difference between scaling and growth and how to avoid the most common mistakes business owners make when they want to stop being Chief Everything Officer and are ready to scale!
Just a note – in episode 136, I outlined 7 scaling mistakes to avoid….. so in this episode I’m talking about additional challenges that you might face as you scale your micro business!
ACTION PLAN

  1. Identify where you are in your business growth (emerging, growing or scaling) and decide if you truly want to scale.
  2. Are you facing any of these scaling challenges? If so which ones?
  3. Download my Business Self-Assessment tool to identify your strengths and possible gaps so you know your next best step
  4. Book a Growth Strategy Session so we can strategize how you can best grow or scale your business.
