Is Your Team Holding Your Business Back? Here’s How to Fix It.

Running a business is tough enough without feeling like you’re dragging your team along with you. If you’ve ever felt like your employees are slowing you down instead of helping you move forward, you’re not alone. It’s time to take a hard look at what’s really going on.

In the latest episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, I broke down the five signs your team might be holding your business back—and more importantly, what you can do about it.

?1. Confusion: Where’s the Finish Line?

If your team isn’t clear on where the business is headed, you’re going to see confusion. When there’s no clear direction, everyone starts pulling in different directions. You need to be crystal clear about your vision and ensure your team knows exactly how they fit into it.

?2. Resistance: The “Why” Matters

Resistance happens when your team doesn’t understand why they’re doing what they’re doing. It’s not enough to tell them what to do—they need to know why it matters. When your team understands the bigger picture, they’re more likely to get on board and stop dragging their feet.

?3. Sabotage: Misaligned Values

If it feels like your team is working against you, it might be a values issue. When your team’s values don’t align with your business, you’ll feel it in every interaction. Make sure your values are clear and that your team’s values don’t clash with them. Alignment here is key.

?4. Anxiety: No Clear Process

Ever have your team come to you because they don’t know what to do next? That’s anxiety creeping in, and it’s a sign that your processes aren’t clear enough. Your job is to provide a step-by-step plan that your team can follow without constantly needing your input.

?5. Frustration: Lack of Resources

Frustration sets in when your team doesn’t have what they need to do their jobs. Whether it’s tools, time, or training, make sure they have the resources to succeed. And don’t forget about accountability—everyone needs to pull their weight, and that starts with clear expectations.

?Time to Take Action

If these issues sound familiar, it’s time to make some changes. You didn’t start this business to micromanage or to work harder while your team spins its wheels. You started it for freedom—time, location, and financial freedom.
