About this episode

Are you a serial creator stuck in "go mode" who can't stop launching new things? Do you find yourself focused on generating more revenue without ever increasing your profit? Today, we perform a much-needed reality check and expose 11 of the most common toxic traits that get entrepreneurs in trouble. 

From the dangerous game of reactive launching to the leaky bucket problem of prioritizing sales over profitability, we reveal the mindsets that may be secretly sabotaging your business growth. Don’t think these are holding you back? Think again! 

If you’re ready to break free from these patterns and build a healthier, more profitable business, this conversation will show you exactly how.
