Have You Felt This Way…?

felt

Raise your hand if you’ve ever said or thought any of the following…

“I’m not sure how to clone myself to grow the business, but I know it’s essential for our success.”

“I have so much on my plate, I can never get done what I really want to get done, and it feels overwhelming.”

“I wish my staff could step up and take more responsibility, as it would greatly improve our efficiency.”

“My business is limited by not having scalable offerings, which restricts our growth potential”

“We are leaving money on the table and should raise prices, but I don’t know how I can make that happen”

“I don’t have a clear path of how to grow the business without burying me, and it’s causing stress”

“I want a growth culture, but the business isn’t responding the way I thought it should, making me question our strategy”

“I don’t know how to stand out and differentiate ourselves from our competition and the crowd, which affects our market position” (Differentiating your business)

“I want to grow, but finding enough new customers gets more difficult day by day, and our efforts seem insufficient”

“I can’t let go completely because I’m afraid my staff will drop the ball, which hinders our progress”

(Artist’s rendering of me: 🙋‍♂️)

Come on, now. Don’t be shy. Raise those hands. No reason to be embarrassed.

Every business person has felt some of these things. Many have felt all of them.

If you deny or ignore these challenges when they exist, they’ll fester and do real damage. Acknowledge them, and then ask…

…How can I overcome these challenges?

George Sotiropoulos answers those questions in his book, “Roadblocks You Can’t Ignore.”

Those challenges listed above? They’re the “roadblocks.” George devotes one chapter to each, offering clear advice on how to avoid or overcome them.

I love this book — in part because I’ve dealt with every one of these roadblocks over decades of running businesses.

And I can’t wait to discuss them to…

…hear how George advises we face them…

…and hear from other business leaders about their experiences dealing with them.

We’ll do that tomorrow when the Mastermind Book Club meets at 2:30 ET live on Zoom.

Every month, Ted Prodromou and I pick a great business book for Club members to read and discuss.This month we chose “Roadblocks…”

On the fourth Thursday of the month (tomorrow), we meet live on Zoom to compare notes and discuss how we can apply the book’s lessons in our businesses.

George will join us for this month’s meeting to dive deep and answer your questions.

You don’t have to read the book to participate and benefit.

You just have to join the Club. Club members receive email reminders with the Zoom link before the meeting.
