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.
