Hey there, Reader!
A few weeks ago, I was talking with a long-time client who said something that stopped me mid-sentence.
"I don’t think anything is wrong… but something definitely isn’t right."
The way she said it was so familiar it felt like déjà vu.
I’ve felt that same feeling in my own business, and if you've had any measure of success in business, you probably have, too.
It often shows us as quiet tension. It creeps in after you’ve hit all the milestones you once dreamed about. Instead of celebration, you feel this weird heaviness that shows up even though nothing is technically “broken.”
For me, it was this sense that I'd outgrown something, but I couldn't name it.
That’s the friction of success, and as I mentioned in my last two blogs/podcasts, it's not failure. It's feedback.
That friction you're feeling is your business trying to tell you something.
On the blog and in this week's podcast, I break down the four types of friction I see most often inside successful but grindy businesses, and how to decode what yours is trying to say.
If you’ve been feeling that whisper of misalignment lately, this one’s going to hit home.
My hope after you listen is that you'll grab the brand new Conviction-Driven Growth Scorecard. This 5-minute assessment helps you pinpoint where friction is hiding in your business and what to focus on next to create clarity, momentum, and sustainable growth.
And next week, we'll go deeper into what rebuilding with intention actually looks like.
