The Bursting Point: A Rite of Passage for Growing Businesses
You’re finally making money—woohoo! 🎉 But somehow, it feels like all that money is slipping right back out the door, and you have no idea where it’s going.
Instead of working less, you’re working more—24/7, trying to keep up. You’re juggling so much that the fun, creative work you started your business for has all but disappeared.
Sound familiar?
- You’re constantly flying by the seat of your pants, scrambling with last-minute promotions.
- Your family is begging you to unplug and spend time with them.
- You’re so maxed out, you can’t possibly take on another client without imploding.
Bottom line? You’re tired, frustrated, and wondering if it’s all worth it.
This is what I call the bursting point—that moment when your business demand outweighs your capacity to deliver. It’s uncomfortable, yes, but it’s also a rite of passage.
Why the Bursting Point Happens
The bursting point happens when your business starts to outgrow you. It’s a sign that you’ve created something people want (yay!) but that you can’t sustain on your own anymore.
Here’s the deal:
- If you keep trying to do it all yourself, it’s going to hurt.
- But if you embrace this phase as an opportunity to grow and do things differently, it can be exciting.
3 Key Areas to Develop Beyond the Bursting Point
To move past the bursting point, you’ll need to focus on three critical areas:
1. Planning
What worked in the early days—spontaneity and a “take it as it comes” approach—won’t cut it anymore. As your business grows, planning ahead becomes essential.
Strategic planning reduces chaos, provides clarity, and keeps you and your team on track.
How I Help:
As a Certified Online Business Manager, I specialize in creating clear, actionable plans that bring stability to growing businesses.
2. People
DIY can get you to six figures, but it won’t take you beyond it. It’s time to define your CEO role (your “YES list”) and bring in the right people to handle everything else.
Building a team is a game-changer, but it doesn’t have to overwhelm you.
How I Help:
I take the burden off your shoulders by handling the hiring, training, and managing of your team, so you can focus on leading your business.
3. Process
Freedom in your business comes from strong systems and processes. SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) ensure everyone on your team knows how things are done, reducing mistakes and increasing efficiency.
How I Help:
I create and implement the systems that allow your business to run smoothly without your input at every turn.
The Bottom Line
What got you to six figures won’t get you beyond it. If your vision is bigger than your bursting point, it’s time to embrace planning, people, and processes.
