13 Feb 2024
Is chasing growth KILLING your business as a creative or coach? If you're like wait… what? – "Growing, isn't that what I'm supposed to be doing over here?" I get it. In the world of online business, we're told that growth = success. But did you know that rapid growth is the number one reason small businesses fail? It may seem counterintuitive, because it goes against so much of the messaging we hear as entrepreneurs. "If you aren't growing, you're dying." (Wrong.) "Every year your numbers should go up."
