CEO Mindset vs Employee Mindset
from The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ · host May Yeo Silvers
When people think of running a business, they dream of making a lot of money, traveling the world, and working less. According to host May Yeo Silvers, this is known as the CEO mindset. While it is entirely possible to achieve this lifestyle, there are many things an entrepreneur must do before they get to that place. In today’s episode, May discusses the distinction between a CEO mindset and an employee mindset. According to May, the first step to running a successful company is letting go of your employee mindset. To do this, May explains that you need to focus on investing in your business and be willing to always take that extra step. In reality, being a CEO comes with many more risks than being an employee. As a CEO, you are responsible for the outcome of every decision you make. So when deciding whether or not you want to open a business, it is important to first understand what it means to be a CEO. Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about the difference between a business owner and a CEO, the importance of investing in your business, and how to use your ‘why’ to transform you from an employee into a powerful and successful CEO. Quotes • “When you own a business and you know how to run your business, your business is profitable, and your business can run without you, you certainly can enjoy the fruits of your labor where you make a lot of money and work very little.” (05:01-05:13) • “As a CEO, you are the only person. You have to make all of the decisions and you have to go figure things out.” (07:32-07:39) • “In order for your business or your side hustle to become a full-time job, you have got to stop thinking like an employee.” (12:54-13:00) • “A CEO is up for challenges. A CEO loves the potential for great results and they're not afraid to fail.” (15:58-16:08) Links Connect with me at: [email protected] Website: events4anyone.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mayyeosilvers Facebook: www.facebook.com/mayyeosilvers IG: www.instagram.com/mayyeosilvers TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayyeosilvers FB private group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/events4anyone Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
