Breaking through the invisible barriers holding your business back requires recognizing the habits that secretly sabotage your success. In this powerful five-minute session, I share the five critical habits that stunted my own business growth for years – and how you can avoid making the same mistakes.

Perfectionism might seem like a virtue, but it's actually a growth killer. I spent too long polishing products in isolation when I should have been gathering real client feedback to guide improvements. Similarly, failing to document systems forced me to constantly reinvent processes instead of building on previous work. The documentation doesn't need to be fancy – simple notes or templates can transform your efficiency and make delegation possible.

As your business grows, opportunities multiply. Without clear criteria for what deserves your attention, saying "yes" becomes a default response that spreads you too thin. I learned that understanding your core values and mission provides the framework for strategic decisions about where to invest your time. Equally important is embracing difficult conversations rather than avoiding them. Contrary to what many fear, challenging discussions don't destroy relationships – they strengthen them by building trust and demonstrating commitment to honest communication.

Perhaps most critically, what you don't measure, you can't improve. I discovered that consistently tracking key performance indicators – from sales calls to conversion rates – naturally drives improvement simply through awareness. This principle applies universally: monitor your weight and it tends to normalize; track your sales activities and they typically increase.

Ready to break free from these limiting patterns? Start by identifying which of these habits is most holding you back right now. Even small changes in these five areas can unlock remarkable growth potential in your business. Which habit will you transform first?
