A New Business Strategy: Increasing Your Capacity

Defining Capacity

Myrna Young introduces the concept of capacity as a crucial element in achieving personal and professional growth. She emphasizes that capacity, rather than strategy, is the key to overcoming obstacles and reaching new heights. Lisa Fabriga, a leadership coach, explains that capacity involves the ability to handle growth, wealth, and success, and is foundational for leadership and personal development 1. She highlights that many people fail to build the necessary structures and boundaries to support future growth, leading to burnout and missed opportunities 2.

Your capacity for growth, your capacity to transcend, your capacity to move, your energy, your capacity to lead, not only other people, but you as yourselves.

Fabriga encourages listeners to assess their own capacity and consider how it can be expanded to achieve their goals 3.

   

Capacity Challenges

Lisa Fabriga shares her journey of discovering the importance of capacity over strategy in her coaching practice. She recounts how her clients, despite being ambitious and successful, often hit a plateau due to limited capacity rather than flawed strategies 4. Fabriga herself faced a similar challenge when her business grew rapidly, leading to overwhelming demand that she couldn't manage due to her own capacity limits 5.
