Ever wondered why some businesses hit roadblocks that slow down progress?

In this episode, we're diving into how entrepreneurs can (unintentionally) become a bottleneck in their business.

What you will discover:

  • How do you differentiate between a bottleneck and just regular delays?
  • Why do these roadblocks even pop up in the first place?
  • Practical solutions to tackle these bottlenecks head-on

Timestamps:

- Figuring out why the bottleneck exists before trying to implement change (00:12:11)

- Looking at your role in the bottleneck by reverse engineering the process (00:13:04)

- Building a business that can run without your constant oversight (00:14:05)

- Embracing the identity change as your business grows - moving from "doing" to guiding and optimizing (00:17:21)
