What Stops Growth Dead in Its Tracks?

“What stops growth dead in its tracks is not merely a shortage of talent but the absence of required capabilities, most visibly at the executive level.” ~ Harvard Business Review

You Can’t Turn it Off – About 25.9% of SMB owners say they never stop thinking about work and 22.3% say they only stop when they’re sleeping. (allbusiness.com)
Jack of All Trades – A recent poll of 1,000 SMB owners revealed that 73% take on more roles than expected, with 84% feeling like a “Jack of all trades.” Many handle tasks from accounting to social media promotion.
More Time Commitment Than Ever – According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, you are working harder than ever: “Six years ago, 30% of small businesses said they were working more hours than they were a year ago,” the Chamber says. “In 2022, half of small business owners said they are working more hours now than they were a year ago.”,
Burnt Out – In a survey conducted, 42% of small-business owners said they’d struggled with burnout in the past month. 72% feel burned out from the pandemic’s impact on their business, according to the survey from Podium
Working In the Business, Not on It – Most SMB owners respond to the pressures by devoting MORE to working in the business rather than on the business

It doesn’t just happen to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) like us.

Even giants like Kodak, Levi Strauss, Compaq, and Toys “R” Us have experienced growth stalls. For instance, after growing to $7 billion in revenue in 1996, Levi Strauss saw a rapid decline to $4.6 billion by 2000, with its market share in the core US jean market falling from 31% to 14%. According to the Harvard Business Review, 87% of stagnant or stalled growth issues can be corrected internally, while only 13% are due to external forces. If it can happen to companies with this level of sophistication, it can happen to you.
