Identify Your Scaling Plateau

This 60-second diagnostic reveals the specific "Invisible Block" stopping your next growth peak. Move from Operator to Visionary.

Question 1 of 6

If you stepped away from the business for 3 weeks today, what would happen?

Everything would stop; I am the primary decision-maker for almost everything. The engine would run, but strategic growth and partnerships would stall. Operations continue, but culture and team morale drift without my presence.

Question 2 of 6

When a high-stakes problem arises, what is your first instinct?

Dive in and fix it myself to ensure it’s done right and fast. Diagnose it quietly in the background so the team stays focused. Soften the blow to ensure no one feels blamed or discouraged.

Question 3 of 6

How much of your week is spent on "Firefighting" vs. "Future-Mapping"?

90% Firefighting. I am exhausted by the day-to-day operations. 50/50. I’m doing the work, but no one knows the vision but me. Most of my time is spent managing team dynamics rather than the market.

Question 4 of 6

When a key team member underperforms, what is your standard approach?

I pick up their slack myself because the work has to get done. I wait to see if they self-correct before I address it formally. I prioritize keeping them happy/motivated over giving hard feedback.

Question 5 of 6

Does your leadership team know exactly what the #1 priority is this quarter?

They know their tasks, but I'm the only one with the full roadmap. I've said it, but I'm not sure they are truly "aligned" behind it. Priorities often shift to accommodate team preferences or comfort.

Question 6 of 6

Do you feel like the only person in the room who truly "owns" the results?

Yes. If I don't drive it, the momentum simply dies. Somewhat. My team is competent, but they lack my "Founder's Instinct." I worry that pushing for "ownership" will burn out my culture.
