But often that tension is actually a signal that growth is happening.   Theresa explains why the messy middle is not a signal to pull back, how radical resilience becomes the bridge to your next level of leadership, and why so many business owners stay stuck by trying to operate from an outdated playbook.   Things to Listen For • Why feeling behind can actually signal a season of growth • The leadership lessons Theresa learned while turning 50 • Why discomfort often means you are in a transition phase • How radical resilience bridges who you are and who you are becoming • Why the old business playbook eventually stops working • The difference between running a business and building one • How leadership capacity limits or expands business growth • Why refusing to grow keeps leaders stuck   READY TO UNCOVER THE BLIND SPOT HURTING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS? 📋Take this quiz to uncover what's holding your business back from success: https://theresacantley.com/quiz    📌 If you're ready to pinpoint where your business is stalling and map out a winning 60-90-day strategy, book a C-Suite Snapshot: https://theresacantley.com/business-audit    🔗 Connect with Theresa: Website: https://theresacantley.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theresacantley  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theresaccantley  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresacantley   ▶️ SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@theresacantley
