The Most Dangerous Thought You Can Have As An Entrepreneur
That old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," might work for your grandfather's lawnmower, but it's killing your business. While you're telling yourself your systems "work well enough," your competitors are innovating, your customers are comparing you to newer alternatives, and you're slowly becoming obsolete without even realizing it.
In this episode, we tackle one of the most dangerous mindsets in entrepreneurship: the belief that if something isn't completely broken, you shouldn't touch it. The problem? By the time something is obviously broken, you're already behind.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why "good enough" is the enemy of growth (and profitability)
- The real reason you resist updating systems – and it's not what you think
- How a 1% improvement in your funnel could mean one more high-ticket client (do that math for your business)
- Why your 5-year-old website is costing you customers you'll never even know about
- The dangerous gap between "technically functioning" and "optimized for growth"
- Why systems built for 3 employees are suffocating your team of 12
- How younger competitors are studying your weaknesses while you're defending your "good enough"
The core truth: Businesses are like plants. If they're not growing, they're dying. There is no maintenance mode in entrepreneurship.
One actionable strategy: Mystery shop your own business. Have someone go through your entire customer journey and give you brutally honest feedback. What's confusing? What feels outdated? What messaging works and what doesn't? This single exercise could reveal revenue leaks you never knew existed.
The mindset shift you need: Stop asking "Is it broken?" and start asking "Could it be better?" Because while you're clinging to systems that technically work, someone else is building something that works better – and your customers are going to notice.
