- Lack of time (too busy working IN the business instead of ON it).
- Lack of focus (pulled in too many directions at once).
- Lack of support (spinning your wheels trying to do it all yourself).
- Lack of creative "space." (too stretched and stressed to plan, strategize and think creatively).
- Wasting resources on time and energy-busters (doing work you hate or don’t do well).
- Focusing on "cheap" instead of cost-effective (putting cost above value, quality and ROI).
- Frittering away billable hours (wasting time–thus money–on administrivia).
- Not investing in the right support (hiring flunkies instead of skilled, committed, thinking, creative professionals).
- Inefficient administrative foundations (failing to systemize, automate and streamline processes).
- Squandering core strengths (failing to focus on business growth, revenue-generation and the energizing work you love).
How many of these are killing your business?
