Unmotivated Team Members – I agree with this one as being part of larger teams when I was working in Corporate America, it was important that your teams stay motivated, especially your sales teams. Some motivational tactics were used, such as contests, bonuses, etc. Also, ensure that every team member shows dedication to their professional development. CEOs should invest in their people. Without them, they are not the organization they want to be.
Not Knowing What You Don't Know - Everyone wants to grow but, many business owners don't know what they need to do to get there. You can't know everything. Sometimes you need to oursource certain areas of your business to overcome your weaknesses. There is nothing wrong to ask for help when you need it.
Trouble Finding New Customers - It is necessary to improve your marketing efforts. Stay connected with the latest trends, and do not be shy to ask your current clients for referrals. Create a Lead Generation strategy that focuses on quality over quantity.
