Breakfree from
Being the Bottleneck:
Odds are you started your business for more opportunities and freedom.
But as you grow your business from just you to three, five or twenty, you unknowingly (or knowingly) have freelancer, solopreneur and perfectionist habits that no longer serve your new direction.
Let me explain...
Feel like you’re stuck in busy work or weighed down by things you want off your plate (like now)?
Are you in a season of growth, pivot or change and need more time back from the day-to-day of your business?
In this free curated audio, pop-up event, you will gain a front-row seat to how these 5 “feel the fear and do it anyway” business owners broke free of the bottleneck cycle across different seasons in each of their businesses to grow multiple six, multiple seven figures and even take a business public (IPO).
So read on...
But don’t be fooled; it's not the climb that is hard; it’s the struggle to see your way out of the plateau and the bottleneck cycle.
On some days, it has you thinking about throwing in the towel. Sometimes it feels like the mountain is too steep a climb.
Your blind spots make you doubt the business you truly want is possible.
All multiple six and seven-figure service-based business owners who start their business providing a service and excel at what they do have blind spots.
There’s much more to growth than “just delegate,” as some would have you believe.
How do you make decisions in different seasons in your business so you can grow instead of finding yourself stuck as the bottleneck?
What stalls growth is the number of decisions you have to make.
We will dig into the seasons and reasons together so you can gain more freedom at your business's different stages and seasons to scale your business.
At different seasons in your business, you will find yourself at the bottleneck of different things and needing new perspectives to break free.
- What it takes to have rapid growth and big goals and not get stuck as the bottleneck
- How to take your maternity leave and grow your revenue at the same time
- What perfectionist habits and beliefs are the hardest to shake to build a multiple seven-figure business that runs without you
- When to pivot, add or let go of services, clients, or team members to create the next big leap in your business
You will hear firsthand:
This audio pop-up event gives you access to 5 industry leaders and business owners who have gone through 5 different seasons when “just delegate” isn’t enough.
I’m pulling back the curtains with my mentor, clients and friends so you can shortcut growth and tap into the thinking that worked in different stages and seasons of business.
Get access to five multi-six and seven-figure service-based women entrepreneurs who were once-upon-a-time solopreneurs and took smart risks in the right season and with the right reason to catapult their growth and get out of the bottleneck cycle.
If you’re the bottleneck in your business, you’re not alone.
