About this listen

 You’ve built success — but you’re still stuck. In this Why Your Business Isn’t Growing (and how to fix it!) business growth podcast, Brendan Rogers shares the five critical signs your business isn’t built for scale, even if it looks successful from the outside. Many SME leaders are unknowingly trapped by the very habits that made them successful — personal oversight, reactive decision-making, and systems that only work because they’re watching. In this episode, you’ll learn how to recognise when your success is actually your ceiling — and how to redesign your business for scalable business growth, stronger team performance, and sustainable leadership impact. In This Episode You’ll Learn
  • 5 clear signs your business can’t scale (even if it’s growing).
  • Why “working harder” makes scale impossible.
  • The leadership mindset shift from control to empowerment.
  • How to build systems that thrive without your constant involvement.
  • A practical 30-day challenge to build independence into your business.
Who This Episode Is For
  • SME owners or leaders who feel stuck doing everything themselves.
  • Business leaders who want scalable business growth and more freedom.
  • Listeners of leadership podcasts and team performance podcasts who value practical, real-world strategies.
