Episode Synopsis
Episode 94: Growing Up Your Business, Part 2 – The Strategic Power of PausingIn Part 2 of our Growing Up Your Business series, Patrick and Patsy dive into a bold but often overlooked strategy for growth: pausing on purpose.While the instinct to “push forward at all costs” feels natural in fast-moving companies, it can backfire when your foundation—leadership, structure, clarity, and process—isn’t ready to support scale. This episode reframes the decision to pause growth not as failure, but as a strategic, courageous move that sets the stage for lasting success.Patrick shares a compelling story of a CEO who halted an aggressive growth plan after recognizing the team wasn’t ready—an act that ultimately led to stronger, more sustainable results.You’ll also learn about the Organizational Maturity Litmus Test, a practical tool to help leaders assess readiness for growth. If your organization is stuck in constant firefighting, relitigating decisions, or relying too heavily on top leadership, this episode is a must-listen.✅ Explore:Why pausing growth can accelerate long-term successCommon red flags that signal organizational immaturityHow to shift your mindset from chasing momentum to building itKey questions every leader should ask before scalingThis episode challenges senior leaders to take a hard look at where their organization stands—and what it takes to grow the right way.Follow us on Instagram: @thefrustratedceopodcast TikTok: @TheFrustratedCEOPodcast Contact us: [email protected]: Frustrated CEOSocial: LinkedIn instagram: @thefrustratedceopodcast tiktok: @thefrustratedceopodcast
