This is part three of our Three Stages of Stuck miniseries, and today we’re diving into one of the most frustrating stages of growth: The Growth Gridlock Ceiling.

At this level, your business is doing well on paper. You’ve got people, processes, and revenue, but growth has stalled. The cracks are showing in quality, communication, and margins. You’re busy, but not actually moving forward.

In this episode, Justin breaks down why businesses plateau after rapid growth, and how to push through by installing three advanced systems from the Growth Engine™ — our Company OS, Leadership Engine, and Sales Engine.

You’ll learn:

• How to map your Core Business Engine so your team can perform with precision
• How to measure what matters and lead through scorecards and outcomes, not micromanagement
• How to evolve your sales and marketing systems so growth becomes controllable and predictable

If you’ve scaled successfully but feel stuck at your current level — this episode will show you what’s missing and how to break through the ceiling without breaking yourself.

Listen now, and when you’re ready to install these systems inside your business, head to DrivenForGrowth.co

Most stone, tile, and flooring business owners eventually hit a stage where growth doesn’t make life easier—it makes it heavier. You’re still the one approving jobs, chasing estimates, juggling schedules, and putting out fires. That’s the Owner Overload Loop.

In this episode, Justin Shaw shares a 5-step playbook to break free, buy back your time, and start building a team-run business that doesn’t stall every time you step away.

One month you’re buried in work, the next it’s tumbleweeds in the pipeline. Cash flow is tight, payroll is stressful, and growth feels like luck instead of a system.

Too many surface industry businesses find themselves stuck in what I call the Survival Stage Spiral.

In this episode, the first of our Three Stages of Stuck mini-series, I break down:

• The 10 biggest mistakes that keep surface businesses trapped in feast-or-famine cycles

• Why even $3M–$5M shops still get stuck here

• The case study of a $3M company that tripled revenue but couldn’t escape survival until they made critical shifts

• The first steps you can take to stabilize demand and finally get control of your cash flow

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just one bad month away from the edge, this episode will show you why—and what to do about it.
