If you're doing all the things but still not seeing the growth you want in your business, you might be falling into one of these sneaky habits that are keeping you stuck – without even realizing it.
As a business coach who’s worked with thousands of entrepreneurs, I’ve seen these 11 red flags come up over and over again. And yes, I’ve been guilty of most of them too. The good news? Every single one of them has a fix — and I’m giving them to you.
1. Doomscrolling Instead Of Creating
Scrolling social media feels productive… until it’s not. If you’re consuming more than you’re producing, your business won’t grow. Cut the scroll and go create something instead.
2. Learning Without Implementing
Courses are great — but only if you apply what you learn. Stop procrastinating in the name of “preparation” and start doing the work.
3. Perfecting Your Website Before Selling
You don’t need a fancy website to start making money. In fact, many successful businesses launch with just a landing page/waitlist/simple checkout page.
4. Spending Hours in Canva
Design matters, but tweaking one post for an hour won’t 10x your results. Set a timer and remember: done is better than perfect.
5. Wasting time on admin tasks
You weren’t made to spend your best energy on invoices and email sorting. Batch your admin work and focus on growth-driving tasks first.
6. Avoiding sales
Sales isn’t sleazy — it’s how you serve. If you’re not pitching, following up, or making offers, you’re blocking your own income + impact.
7. Posting Without A Strategy
Random content leads to random results. Know what you’re promoting, create a content plan, and guide your audience toward the actions you want them to take.
8. Constantly Questioning Your Pricing
If you’re always second-guessing your prices, you’ll stay stuck. Pick a price, test it, and refine as you go — but stop doubting yourself.
9. Doing Everything Yourself
You don’t need to do it all. Start with automation, then outsource when you can. Your time is too valuable to waste on tasks that don’t move the needle.
10. Comparing Yourself To Others
Stop comparing your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 10. Mute, unfollow, and protect your mindset at all costs.
11. Getting Caught In Drama
Your time and energy are your most valuable assets. Don't let distractions and drama pull you away from your goals.
