3 Growth Killers That Will Tank Your Valuation

If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you have blindspots stunting your growth and suppressing your valuation potential.

These blindspots will be specific to you and your business. But I see a few common themes play out time and again with founders looking to scale their business to an exit…

Having the Wrong Plan. It’s worse than having no plan at all. You will waste valuable time and resources going in the wrong direction. The result will be an outcome that falls well short of your expectations. Ask yourself: when was the last time you externally validated your growth plan?

Bottlenecks are everywhere. And every time you fix one, there are multiple knock-on effects to work through. Your ability to spot the most critical constraints in your business and respond quickly and effectively, will have a profound impact on your growth rate.

Systemisation is often viewed as a task. Personally, I see it as a behaviour. It’s obvious that the pace of disruption in business is accelerating. Your failure to constantly refine how you do things and revisit first principles is a risk that your competitors will not be taking.

Avoid spinning so many plates that you can’t see the big picture at least once in a while…
