Scaling a business isn’t just about revenue, funding, or strategy—it’s about clearing the hidden blocks that keep you stuck. In this episode of Scale to Exit, Alejandra Santos breaks down the four biggest invisible barriers that prevent founders from growing and positioning their businesses for long-term success: mindset, leadership style, operations, and team.
From shifting your mindset from operator to owner, to evolving your leadership style, building scalable operations, and aligning your team for outcomes, Alejandra shares real-world insights and strategies that help you unlock growth and move closer to an exit.
If you’ve ever felt like your business hit a ceiling and you can’t quite put your finger on why, this episode will show you where those blocks are hiding—and how to remove them.
