You’re working harder than ever, but the results aren’t matching the effort.
You’ve read the books. Attended the conferences. Hired the consultants. Implemented the frameworks. And still, something isn’t clicking. The revenue plateau won’t budge. The team issues keep recurring. The breakthrough stays just out of reach.
So you work more hours. You try a new strategy. You pivot again. You push harder.
And the frustrating part? You’re not lazy. You’re not incompetent. You’re not lacking in ambition or intelligence. In fact, you’re probably doing everything the “experts” tell you to do.
But here’s what nobody tells you:Â Your biggest obstacle isn’t what you don’t know. It’s what you can’t see.
It’s the pattern you’re running on autopilot. The default mode that feels like “just how you operate” but is actually sabotaging your growth. The strength you lean on so hard it’s become a weakness.
Maybe you’re “being strategic” when you’re actually overthinking and missing opportunities. Maybe you’re “maintaining quality standards” when you’re actually bottlenecking your team. Maybe you’re “staying innovative” when you’re actually creating chaos. Maybe you’re “being prudent” when you’re actually just afraid.
The pattern feels justified. Rational. Even virtuous.
That’s why it’s a blindspot.
Everyone around you can see it. Your team works around it. Your partners accommodate it. Your competitors capitalize on it. But you? You genuinely can’t see it happening.
You blame the market. The economy. The team. The timing. The strategy.
You keep searching for the missing piece—the new framework, the better system, the right hire—when the missing piece isn’t something you need to add.
It’s something you need to see.
And once you see it? Everything changes.
Not because you suddenly have new information. But because you finally understand why the old information never worked.
The question isn’t whether you have a blind spot.
The question is: are you ready to see it?
