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

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.
