Growth Roadblocks: 5 Signs You’re Holding Your Business Back

Episode Summary

If your business isn’t growing, and it feels harder than it should, the problem might  not be your strategy, your target market, or your team. The problem might be you!

In this episode of the Make Space for More podcast, Melissa Swink discusses five self-imposed growth roadblocks that entrepreneurs often face. These include doing everything yourself, perfectionism, resisting systems and structure, not re-evaluating pricing strategies, and lacking clarity and vision. In addition to pointing out these roadblocks and describing them in detail, Melissa will help you reflect on your sticking points and consider how you can break free from them. 

Key Highlights:

  • Self-imposed limitations often block business growth more than external factors

  • Perfectionism and reluctance to delegate are major barriers to scaling 

  • Implementing systems creates freedom, not restriction 

  • Strategic pricing and regular price evaluation are crucial for growth 

  • Clear vision and purpose drive sustainable business expansion
