You'd think being great at what you do would make business easier. But the better you get, the more the cracks show.
The clients, systems, and strategy that used to work? Now they feel too small. You've outgrown the business you built.
So you tweak, tinker, and try to make it fit again but the friction keeps coming back, because you're not meant to patch it, you're meant to rebuild it.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
The "season of stuck" and why it's a normal sign of growth.
Why patching symptoms (tweaks, tweaks, tweaks) never fixes the real problem.
How shifting clients, markets, and standards creates hidden misalignment.
The three areas that actually need your attention.
Why pausing is strategic and not optional.
