Have you ever closed your laptop at the end of a long day with a list full of checkmarks but the nagging sense that your business hasn’t actually moved forward? That frustrating gap between effort and progress is often a sign of a hidden issue: you’ve become the business bottleneck.
That frustrating gap between effort and progress? It’s more common than you think and often signals that you’ve become the bottleneck in your own business. According to Intuit’s 2024 Business Solutions Report, 51% of small business owners say they’re struggling to streamline operations to enable growth.
Instead of focusing on the high-value work that drives growth, you’re buried in maintenance tasks that keep you busy but not effective.
I know this because I’ve lived it. In my early solopreneur days, I wore every hat—marketer, bookkeeper, client delivery, even Canva designer at midnight. Like many early-stage entrepreneurs, I was hustling hard — working late into the night designing graphics. It wasn’t sustainable. I was teetering on solopreneur burnout and didn’t even know it I told myself I was being productive, but in reality, I was slowing everything down. My business only began to grow when I stepped out of the bottleneck and into my CEO role.
In this episode, we’ll unpack the hidden costs of doing it all yourself, how maintenance mode is stalling your growth, and the mindset shifts that free you up to lead — not just grind. By the end, you’ll see what’s really holding your business back and discover a path that allows you to grow without adding more hours to your day.
