Does your company HAVE a CEO? Or just a Chief Employee?

from The Inner Game Of Entrepreneurship With Cera Byer · host Cera Byer

You call yourself the CEO of your business—but are you actually doing the job? In this episode, I walk you through a crucial distinction most entrepreneurs miss: Founder is a title. CEO is a job description. And if nobody’s doing that job in your company—not even you—there are consequences.   We dive into: What the CEO seat really entails (even in a company of one) Why so many owner-operators are still acting like chief employees The subtle ways fear, safety strategies, and subconscious logic shape our “business decisions” How to build true strategic capacity and move toward long-term, sustainable growth Why having a coach is like having a fractional CEO in your corner—and how to find the right one   Plus, I share details about how you can work with me for all of 2026 inside Best Year Yet—the only time of year I offer long-term private coaching at this rate. If you want to stabilize, grow, and lead with vision instead of stress, this is your moment.   Apply by October 31 to lock in 2 free months, the $10K savings, and a 15-month payment plan. Here's all the details. Apply now.
