Yes, this is often because we are too concerned with what others think is best for us instead of being "okay with feeling the uncomfortableness of someone not liking [our] decisions," at times.

Yes, these are definitely "showstoppers" for many women entrepreneurs. Another showstopper I see when working with my clients is the tendency to not make firm decisions. Women, most women, have a tendency to want to please others and have others "like" us. We are feeling beings and love connecting and making friends. Growing a business requires that we make strong and firm decisions. Some of which will not please certain individuals. We must be okay with feeling the uncomfortableness of someone not liking the decision. It takes courage to stand in our power and by standing out and above the crowd. That is why it is important to surround yourself with others who are like minded and have the courage, as well who can encourage and support you as you grow.

I have recently made significant progress by using new formats that have an edge over the competition like web video and social networking groups. The second is finding the right balance for my budget between outsourcing and trying to do all the work myself. The third is growing my business so I don't get swells of orders that are beyond what my current team can handle.
