Roots & Wings: 2 Things You Need To Grow Your Business


Listen Later

In this episode, I dive into a mindset shift that I believe can transform your business and lead to a lot of growth.

I often hear small business owners calling their businesses their ‘baby’ but we want our business to grow and develop beyond the stage of constant care and supervision.

My mom used to always say kids needed two things: roots to grow and develop and wings to blossom and be launched. With a balance of these two things we can find ways to nurture our business’s mission while also creating the space for it to thrive independently. Let’s explore how!

Topics Covered:

  • Roots vs. Wings: Understanding the foundational roots (mission, vision, and values) and giving your business the wings it needs to grow without you.
  • Avoiding Bottlenecking: How treating your business like a “baby” can hinder its growth and limit your impact.
  • The power of delegating and building a self-sustaining team to allow your business to run smoothly without your constant input.
  • Solo Provider Perspective: Why this might not apply to everyone – crafting a business that works uniquely for you is the ultimate goal.
  • Embracing roots and wings to find true freedom, both in time and in making a bigger impact.

Are you giving your business roots AND wings? 

This episode is a reminder to think about your business not as a ‘baby’ but as a child that you want to nurture and launch into independence!
