If your business bottleneck is you, you’re not alone. Most small business owners don’t realize how much time they spend on low-impact tasks that keep them stuck in maintenance mode instead of moving the business forward. In this episode, Donna explains how doing it all yourself quietly caps your growth, limits your revenue, and leads to burnout and what to do instead.
You’ll learn how to identify the signs you’ve become the bottleneck, calculate the true cost of $10/hour tasks, and shift into CEO mode where your time drives growth, not busyness. Through real client stories and simple mindset shifts, Donna shows how freeing yourself from the bottleneck creates more time, profit, and peace of mind.
If you’ve been feeling maxed out and wondering why growth has stalled, this episode will help you see exactly where the bottleneck is and how to fix it for good.
