Success isn’t your enemy—comfort is. And if you’re not careful, your biggest wins could become your biggest setbacks.

In this episode of the Grow Business Podcast, Cory Mosley and Lon Graham break down a surprising truth: most businesses don’t stall in hard times—they stall when things are going great. Comfort creeps in, and momentum quietly dies.

This conversation is all about staying aggressive, intentional, and strategic after the win.

Inside this episode:

• Why “winning” often leads to drifting
• How comfort becomes the most expensive thing in your business
• The mindset shift from hustle to precision
• How to prevent success-based anxiety and imposter syndrome
• What micro-celebrations (done right) do for team morale
• Why your business can’t outgrow you

If you're having your best year ever, this episode will show you how to build on success—not get buried by it.

Inside this episode:

• Why hiring for hours instead of outcomes wastes money
• How fractional leaders unlock experience without full‑time cost
