The messy middle part of business growth can feel like a roller coaster, with high highs and low lows. It’s an inevitable stage that all businesses must go through.
During this period, challenges appear around every corner. Growth stagnates, cash flow dwindles, and the talent pool withers. Exhaustion is overwhelming, and stress accumulates with little to no chance of reprieve.
The only way out of the messy middle is to press through it and come out the other side stronger than before.
One thing we know for sure—what got you here won’t get you there.
Mastermind groups are incredibly effective for moving through the messy middle stage of business growth.
Not only do masterminds provide support from colleagues who share similar experiences, but they allow you to get objective advice from experts in their field who know how to navigate these kinds of challenges.
Pushing through the messy middle isn’t easy—but surrounding yourself with the right people makes all the difference!
The Messy Middle Mastermind is a collaborative, collective experience where an exchange of ideas occurs among a network of 6–10 business owners from various industries with similar challenges.
