Podcast Episode: Constraints vs. Bottlenecks — What’s Really Holding Your Business Back
Most solopreneurs waste precious energy trying to run their business the way “big brands” do—with funnels, avatars, and endless content grind. In this pop-up episode of Creative on Purpose Live, Scott Perry reframes how to think about constraints and bottlenecks so you can reclaim time, focus on what actually moves the needle, and build a business that funds and fits your life.
You’ll discover:
Why constraints (time, attention, money, energy, identity, reputation) aren’t bad—they’re the non-negotiable limits that shape reality.
How to identify bottlenecks (solvable choke points) and decide whether to eliminate, relieve, or redesign around them.
The danger of false dependencies—websites, funnels, launches—that complicate instead of clarify.
Why raising the floor on weak system components beats pushing the ceiling on what already works.
How conversation-led client attraction can outperform the best funnel—without ads or grind.
