If you have ever hit a plateau in your business, a point where growth stalled and effort kept going in but results stopped coming out at the same rate, this episode is going to reframe something important.

The answer most of us reach for first when we hit a ceiling is the wrong one. The real answer is both more confronting and far more hopeful. Once you understand what the ceiling is actually made of, you can do something about it.

In this episode I share what I have come to understand across nearly three decades of building businesses about why ceilings exist and what they are constructed from, the four components of a ceiling: belief, identity, fear, and environment, and how to identify which one is dominant for you. I share my own honest story of the ceilings I have hit and what actually shifted them, why environment is the single most underestimated factor in entrepreneurial performance, and the four things that actually break a ceiling, practically and sustainably.

This is the most personal episode of the series, and possibly the most useful.
