Jessica asks: "I've been hovering around $10,000 a month for a very long time now, and it's starting to mess with my head. Every month I tell myself, this is the month it finally moves. And then I look at the numbers and it's basically the same again. I'm working all the time. If I step back even a little, things slow down. If I stay fully involved, we hit $10,000 again. Is this the upper limit of my business?"
In this episode, Scott reveals why revenue plateaus aren't ceilings—they're capacity constraints in your systems, how to use the "weakest link" framework to diagnose where you're stuck, and why adding more people or leads is the wrong answer. You'll hear Scott's own bottleneck discovery (26% more website traffic but zero lead growth), learn how to walk through your business step-by-step to find constraints, and understand why doing more with what you have beats adding more resources every time.
The bottom line: Your business isn't at its ceiling. Your systems are. Find the bottleneck, remove it, watch revenue flow to the next constraint, then repeat. That's plateau busting mode.
