Don’t you hate holding your team back

Most business owners don’t realize they’re holding their team back.

Not because they don’t care.

Not because they don’t work hard.

But because they’re stuck repeating the same habits over and over without even seeing it.

Let me ask you a hard question:

Do you hate holding your team back?

(Really think about it.)

Or maybe the better question is…

Do you even realize you are?

Most owners don’t notice until it’s too late.

Until good people leave.

Until growth stalls.

Until the pressure of being the bottleneck suffocates the passion that started it all.

Holding your team back isn’t always loud or obvious.

It’s not always micromanaging.

Sometimes it’s avoiding hard conversations.

Sometimes it’s being too busy to lead.

Sometimes it’s failing to build clear structures so others can win without you.

If you don’t confront it, you’ll keep repeating it.

Just like the proverb says:

“As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.”

You can’t build a better business—or a better life—if you keep circling the same mistakes.

Leadership starts with ownership.

It starts by asking hard questions.

It starts by deciding you will not keep returning to the same broken patterns.

Do you have the courage to own it?
