Operational Blind Spots That Cost You Growth
R Readiness Lens
ShownotesEpisode Overview
In this episode of R Readiness Lens, Sheri dives into the operational blind spots that quietly hold businesses back from growth. While most owners focus on getting more clients, more revenue, and more momentum, the real constraint is often internal.
These blind spots are not obvious failures. They are subtle inefficiencies, outdated processes, and misaligned systems that once worked but haven’t evolved with the business. Sheri breaks down how to identify these hidden frictions, where they tend to show up, and how to start addressing them without overhauling everything.
If your business feels stuck or harder to run than it should, this episode will help you pinpoint why and what to do next.

Friction is different from failure
Rework and workarounds signal inefficiency
