In the Hormozi YouTube Interviews, every business Owners question comes down to these 5 problems.
Hey Guys,
Every entrepreneur thinks their problems are unique.
They’re not.
When you strip away the noise, almost every constraint falls into one of five questions that decide how far and how fast you can grow.
1. What’s the real constraint holding back growth — Leads, Sales, Delivery, or Profit?
This is the cornerstone question.Every strategy starts by diagnosing which of the four growth levers is broken:
- Leads: Not enough qualified prospects.
- Sales: Enough leads, but not enough conversions (often a show-rate or follow-up issue).
- Delivery: Can’t retain clients or repeat buyers long enough (low LTV, high churn).
- Profit: Doing all three well but the bank balance doesn’t show it (margin, pricing, or expense bloat).
Once you identify the primary constraint, every move after that produces maximum return on effort.
2. How do I fix my Money Model and multiply Lifetime Value (LTV)?
Most entrepreneurs don’t have a lead problem — they have a money model problem.They spend $1 to acquire a customer… and fail to get $2 back within 30 days.
Three common patterns showed up again and again:
- Pricing Traps: Locked rates or capped contracts (like dental or insurance clients).
- Recurring Revenue Gaps: High-ticket one-time sales without repeat paths — think “custom tables” with no maintenance or upgrade plan.
- Offer Positioning: Too many clients choose the cheapest option because the premium package isn’t framed correctly.
When you fix the money model, everything changes. High LTV means you can outspend competitors, scale faster, and buy back time.
3. Should I double down or pivot?
Entrepreneurs often die from indigestion, not starvation. They’re doing too many “kinda-working” things instead of one thing that compounds.
Here’s how we guided them:
- Focus Test: Ask, “What would happen if I just did 10X more of what’s already working?”
- Pivot Rule: Only pivot if a core assumption has been proven false — not because you’re bored.
- Scale Check: Expand only when the current unit (store, funnel, or offer) runs profitably without you, has a strong LTV:CAC ratio, and earns praise from customers.
4. How do I attract, filter, and keep A-Players?
When you become supply-constrained — plenty of clients, not enough talent — the next constraint is people.
The fix usually comes down to three levers:
- Incentives: Beyond salary — freedom, bonuses, phantom equity, and real upside.
- Sales Talent Math: If you “can’t afford” great salespeople, your LTV or margins are off — fix the model first.
- Management Structure: Move people problems away from the “artist” owner and into a clear leadership chain.
Culture follows clarity, not charisma.
5. How do I get booked calls to actually show up?
The silent killer of revenue isn’t leads — it’s no-shows.
Improving show rate from 50% to 80% can double revenue overnight.We found three consistent fixes:
- Nurture Systems: Texts, confirmations, and micro-touches from the Lead Nurture Playbook — 16 no-skill actions anyone can do.
- Smart Friction: Filter out tire-kickers while educating real buyers (BANT or pre-call VSLs work best).
- Pre-Emptive Objection Handling: Use a short video or message that answers the top three “I didn’t show because…” excuses before they even arise.
The Takeaway
These five questions aren’t random — they’re the map. Every constraint you face plugs into one of them. Answer them honestly, and you’ll know exactly what to fix next — no guesswork, no theory, just clarity and compounding execution.
