Oh, getting to the next stage is often so, so challenging. I loved the book “10x is Easier Than 2x”, it goes into the needed mindset shifts quite a lot. And it turns out - 10x really might be easier.
I've been #3 before. That was a sucky experience as I wanted to get out of that role but wasn't empowered to do so. I've seen a lot of the others too Ali Mamujee. Which is your favorite?
Time is your most valuable resource (by far). Understanding and fixing where it is going off track is essential for long-term success.
#3 stands out - delegating isn't losing control, it's gaining scale.
The biggest hurdle in scaling is often ourselves—breaking free from old habits and moving faster is a must. Great post 🙌
#1 Sometimes we get stuck in perfect planning and delay learning through more iterations and trying things out. Ali Mamujee
I've definitely fallen into the trap of being a Staller in the past! It's easy to get caught up in analysis paralysis and overthink things.

1moOh I know that one. Number 4 for me. Got the company to about 1m and then sold it off as I knew other skills required to go from 1 to 10. And....it was my own baby and everyone thinks their own child is goldylocks. Love the style btw
