Does your neck hurt???

Sometimes when we are growing our business we can get so wrapped up in looking at everyone else.

Look at what “so-and-so” are doing with their brand…

Check out the fancy new tech “they” are using…

Man! That new influencer is blowing up! How the…

It’s one thing to draw inspiration and encouragement from fellow entrepreneurs but what happens when we are so wrapped up in how to do it all “right”?

The challenges of rapid growth.
How honing in on strengths can help you lead your team well!

Some of the highlights of this episode include:

Letting Go of the “Get It Right” Mindset

There is no playbook for how to grow a business. Don’t get stuck thinking you have to start a business “right”, grow a business “right”, etc.

Kate explains that, while growing her seven-figure agency, what works for some doesn’t always work for others. Investigate your thoughts, step back and look at the big picture.

Sometimes You Just Have To Jump

You may never feel ready to let go of the parts of your business you’ve held on tightly to for so long.

Letting go of the control can be such a challenge but when you do, when you trust the team you’ve built you begin to elevate yourself to the CEO you want to be.

Lead From Your Strengths to Grow To a Seven-Figure Agency

It is so easy to think that you have to be good at everything, an expert in every area of your business. Dig into studying your personality, and discover your strengths.

Once you understand how you’re wired, you can free yourself up to lead from this place and capitalize on that. You may find even your strategy comes back to your strengths.
