Your biggest bottleneck is Operations & Systems
Michael's Take on This Result
"If you are the system, you do not have a business — you have a job you cannot quit."
— Michael Anthony “Unbroken”
The business likely has vision and potential, but the operational structure underneath it is too dependent on you, too inconsistent, or too fragile to support the next stage well.
Your answers suggest the business may be running on effort more than structure. When systems are weak, priorities blur, ownership gets messy, and growth creates pressure instead of leverage.
