Why Your Business Can't Grow Past $1 Million (And How to Fix It)
The specific, identifiable systems missing from your business that cap growth at $1M
📅 December 2024⏱️ 10 min read
The $1M ceiling isn't random—it's predictable. Most businesses hit it because they're missing 3-5 critical systems. Here's how to identify and eliminate your bottlenecks.
The 7 Growth Ceilings
- 1. You're still the lead salesperson - Can't scale past your personal capacity
- 2. No real financial systems - Flying blind on profitability
- 3. Hiring reactively - Panic-hiring mediocre people
- 4. Founder-dependent operations - Every decision needs you
- 5. Inconsistent marketing - Feast or famine cycle
- 6. No SOPs - Reinventing the wheel every project
- 7. Fuzzy value proposition - Competing on price
Address all 7 systematically, and $3M becomes the next ceiling. Then $5M. But it starts with recognizing the skills that got you to $1M won't get you to $3M.
