Strategies to Overcome Growth Pain

Many entrepreneurs reach a point in their business growth where it becomes painful. They may choose to stall, thinking they made enough money last year and not pushing for further growth. However, the market continues to grow, and customers demand more. Top employees also need a bigger future to stay motivated. Another response is sabotage, where entrepreneurs take a break or sabbatical during challenging times, missing the opportunity for growth and skill development. The third response is to sell the business, but this doesn't solve the underlying issue of hitting a complexity ceiling. To overcome growth pain, entrepreneurs can implement strategies such as the buyback principle, which involves hiring people to buy back their time and focusing on organizing their calendar instead of simply hiring more employees.
