03/12/25 • 12 min

Have you ever felt like something is secretly holding your business back—but you can’t quite put your finger on it?

It’s often not the big, obvious mistakes that stall our growth, but the sneaky habits we barely notice. In this episode, I’m uncovering the three silent growth killers that could be quietly sabotaging your business success:
1. Overthinking every decision.
2. Saying yes to the wrong opportunities.
3. Neglecting personal boundaries.

We’ll break each one down, talk about how they impact your growth, and, most importantly, I’ll share actionable strategies to replace them with habits that align with your purpose and goals. You’ll leave this episode equipped to regain focus, protect your energy, and scale your mission-driven business sustainably.
