Listen "#53: 5 Problems to Solve Before You Grow"
Episode Synopsis
Before you chase growth, fix these foundational cracks that could break your business.
Before you chase aggressive growth targets, you have to ask yourself a hard question: Is your business actually ready to scale?
We work with leaders every day who are stuck in the messy middle: growing revenue while cash gets tighter, roles get blurrier, and the founder still has a hand in every decision. In this week’s episode of The Right-Hand Roadmap, Megan Long walks through five common problems that must be fixed before you scale. From cash flow visibility to repeatable sales processes and reducing founder dependency, this episode is your growth-prep checklist.
Growth can’t be powered by vision alone. It takes clarity, systems, and some financial truth-telling to make growth possible. If your 2025 plan is off track, or if you're leading through a pivot, this episode will help you assess what to fix now (and what you can build mid-flight).
