This document provides steps for business owners to overcome barriers to growth. It advises identifying limiting emotions and assumptions preventing achievement of dreams. Business owners should determine what skills are missing to solve problems and find the right people to challenge assumptions. Overcoming internal barriers often means the entrepreneur is standing in the way of the business growth themselves.

1. Break through the limiting emotion?
What do you feel, when you believe
the thought, that the problem
prevents you from achieving your
dream? If that thought didn’t exist
in you, how would you feel? What are
3 things you would go and do?
Find the unspoken assumption.
What am I accepting about my
business that is controlling and
limiting me?
What is the skill set that
is missing in the business
to solve the problem?
Find the right person.
Challenge the
unspoken
assumption. Do
you have all the
information to
know that it is
true? No. Then
its not true.
