Are you working harder than ever but still feel like your business is going nowhere fast? In this episode, Samantha Riley gets brutally honest about a stage of business that almost every entrepreneur hits, and almost no one talks about.

It's not a strategy problem, a marketing problem, or a leads problem. It's a you problem. And understanding that distinction could be the most important shift you make this year.

Samantha introduces the concept of the "messy middle". The frustrating in-between stage where you're no longer a beginner, you have clients and revenue and maybe even a small team, but growth still feels stuck.

The path forward isn't hustle, but there is a very important change that needs to be made.
