396: You’re Solving the Wrong Problem in Your Business — Here’s How to Fix It
About this episode
The episode discusses how business owners often misdiagnose their biggest challenges and emphasizes the importance of addressing root causes rather than surface-level problems.
What if the biggest problem in your business isn’t actually THE problem? If you’re working harder than ever to fix things: hiring, pushing sales, trying to get organized—but nothing is changing, you’re still the bottleneck. You’re doing what most smart, capable business owners do, but you aren’t getting ahead.

In this episode, Melissa Kay and Kaitlyn Beaver break down the following: why smart, capable business owners misdiagnose their biggest challenges; the difference between surface problems and root issues; why more effort isn’t creating better results; how to identify what will actually move the needle in your business; and the first step to getting out of the survival trap.
