CarTalk with Kartik #243: Mindset is Your Growth Ceiling

How do we scale our business without outgrowing our leadership? That’s the question one of the CEOs I work with asked me recently. Having worked with over 50 CEOs, fueling millions in revenue growth, here’s my answer.

Your growth ceiling is rarely your product or your market. It’s your mindset. The fastest-scaling CEOs build a daily habit of reflection. They look at what worked, what didn’t, and what they learned. That clarity sharpens decisions, improves how they lead their teams, and keeps them adaptable as the business changes.

If you want your company to grow, you have to design your own growth first. Small habits, done consistently, compound into better judgment, stronger culture, and sustained momentum. Because mindset is your growth ceiling.

CarTalk with Kartik #242: Win Before the Meeting.

Why do smart ideas still get blocked? That’s the question one of the CEOs I work with asked me recently. Having worked with over 50 CEOs, fueling millions in revenue growth, here’s my answer.

At your stage, winning decisions is not just about having the right strategy. It is about pre-aligning the people who influence that decision. Great leaders do the work before the meeting. They talk to stakeholders, especially skeptics, learn concerns early, and adjust the plan before it hits the room. Momentum is built in conversations, not conference rooms.

CarTalk with Kartik #241: Projects Beat Playbooks

How do you build skills that actually move revenue? That’s the question one of the CEOs I work with asked me recently. Having worked with over 50 CEOs, fueling millions in revenue growth, here’s my answer.

Real growth comes from hands-on learning, not just plans and meetings. Build skills through real projects, get a mentor who shows you where the gaps are, and document what works so you can scale it across the team. When learning is practical and focused on outcomes, it turns into faster execution and stronger results. Because projects beat playbooks.
