The Mindset Shift Nobody Tells You About

from Freelance to Founder · host Millo

Fatima has been running solo for years and finally feels ready to lead a team—but she's stuck on how to actually think like a CEO instead of a freelancer doing everything herself. Preston and Vijay Rajendran break down the real transition between founder and executive, introducing the idea of becoming a "chief enablement officer" before you can become a chief executive one. They dig into building trust with new hires, using a RACI framework to clarify who owns what, and why letting go of control—not working harder—is what actually lets your business grow.
