So, You Want To Be A CEO

Do you call yourself a CEO but aren't performing the tasks of a CEO? It is so easy to start a freelancing business and call ourselves a CEO; however, when we are solopreneurs buried in client work, sometimes we don't get to perform the tasks of a CEO. It isn't until our businesses start growing that we realize we are well versed in the day-to-day tasks and decisions of a CEO. In today's episode, I want to encourage you and challenge you to start performing the functions of a CEO now. 

 

"If you are just always working, working, working, working, and never taking that time to evaluate, plan and strategize, then you are not being the CEO in your business." - Gwendolyn Young.
