If you're still doing this you are not the CEO of your business

Starting a business is exciting. You’ve got the ideas, you’ve got the energy, and you’ve got a vision. You know what you want and as long as you stay positive and just keep going you will get there, right? But here’s the truth most people don’t tell you: Just because you started a business doesn’t mean you’re acting like the CEO. A real CEO doesn’t just do things — they make decisions based on clarity, especially around numbers. They don’t allocate budgets for something they know they don’t need or that they can’t see the value in or where the return on the investment will be. They don’t put their focus on fluffy stuff that will usually cost money rather than make it (and a CEO knows the difference and is honest about it) But most new business owners don’t do any of this high-level stuff, because they are NOT acting like a CEO How do you know if you are? If you’re still doing any of the things we talk about in this podcast episode, you’re not leading your business… you’re just busy in it and being busy doesn’t necessarily transfer into getting paid.
