Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-The Real Reason You're Not Scaling

The Real Reason You're Not Scaling

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

So they bring me in and they say, all right, we want to grow.

We want to go to the next level. That's code for there are issues internally. Either there's some internal strife, or there's a partnership issue, or there's somebody who no longer aligns with the goals and there's just nothing you could do about it.

You know, at this point, I've dealt with it so many times. First off, I remind the client that everything's confidential. I said, look, we could talk freely and then I'll just say, all right, who's the issue? Who are we talking about? Who are we talking about specifically? And sometimes the owner will, and the owner will say, well, it's me.

I'm the bottleneck. Okay. And that's fair enough because most owners become a bottleneck at some point or another.

It doesn't mean they're the whole problem there, but they'll say, you know, I've got somebody about to come into the business or I bought somebody into the business, and we had some initial vision, but it's not really working out. There will be some family dynamic or some personal dynamic that is no longer viable or aligned. So we have to learn that right away.
