From Business Start-Up to Millions:
Why You Get Stuck at Seven Figures
The vast majority of business founders embark on their journey because they want to take control of their future, often driven by the desire to escape a dead-end job or a nightmare boss.
Regardless of the motivation, the beginning stages for most startups are pure chaos. You sort out all the logistical details, ask friends and colleagues for advice, and frantically try your best to market your new endeavor. The activity is high, and the long hours are fueled solely by caffeine and unbridled enthusiasm to bring your dream into reality.
Looking back, it felt like all that time and energy was content sent into a void—no feedback, except maybe the occasional bot or troll. And then, out of nowhere... You get traction. Something sticks, and you push forward, doubling down on what is working. You are growing, but now you are plagued with problem after problem.
Generally, once you hit the $1 Million to $3 Million revenue mark, you get stuck.
You become the bottleneck in your company's growth. Systems break, employees let you down, and eventually, profit margins begin to deteriorate. The lucky few who cracked the seven-figure threshold find themselves stalled for a few common reasons:
The Five Bottlenecks Stalling Your Growth
- You market as a generalist instead of a specialist. You try to sell to everyone instead of hyper-focusing on your most profitable, ideal client.
- The well is running dry. The original idea or system that got you to this point is exhausted, and you need to innovate to refine systems and continue to grow.
- Too much emphasis on total revenue instead of gross profit. High revenue is a vanity metric if your costs are eating up your margins.
- The duct-taped-together systems need an overhaul. What worked at $500K in revenue is crushing your efficiency at $2 Million.
- You never took the time to develop true leadership/talent development skills. You're trying to manage a team using the same frantic energy that built the startup.
The demands on the business founder at this stage of the business lifecycle are debilitating. You need to hire, but you don't have the budget. You need to market more aggressively, but you don't have the budget. You need to innovate and refine systems, but you don't have the time. You are barely keeping your head above water.
Getting past this point in business is easier than you think, but you are unable to keep growing doing the same things you have in the past. An outside perspective, from qualified mentors, to keep you focused on high-payoff activities is crucial.
Confucius was quoted as saying: "If you are the smartest person in the room, you need to find a new room." It's time to level up your social circle, to transform your business and employees into high-caliber professionals that fuel a true business asset.
