If you have a business that's not hitting the next revenue tier like it should... You might have a design problem.
Your business was originally designed to survive, not scale.
Now it needs a redesign, to break free of the operational inertia and finally scale.
So the next revenue tier feels intentional and repeatable, instead of... unreachable.
