What It Really Means to Be ‘Stuck’ in Business

Feeling stuck doesn’t mean nothing is happening. It usually means too much is happening without direction.

Progress gets buried under decisions, options, and half-finished ideas. The business moves, but not forward.

Being stuck is often a signal that structure hasn’t caught up with ambition.

Once priorities are clear and systems are defined, momentum returns — not because effort increased, but because friction decreased.

Stuck isn’t failure. It’s a call for structure.
