Alright, let's be honest. Many of us started a business to find freedom, but somehow ended up creating another job for ourselves—one where we're the boss and the bottleneck. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey to escaping the daily grind and truly stepping into my CEO role.
I'll tell you about my personal "Groundhog Day" nightmare, where every Monday felt like more of the same overwhelming tasks. If you've ever thought, "Did I quit my job just to create another one for myself?", then you're going to resonate with this. It's time to stop wearing "busy" as a badge of honor and start building a business that works for you.
Here’s what we’re diving into:
👉The Hard Truth About Being "Too Needed": Why thinking you're the only one who can do things "right" is actually hurting your business and your freedom.
👉The CEO's Actual Job Description: A mind shift that helps you focus on what truly moves the needle—strategy, team building, and high-level decisions.
👉My Breaking Point Story: How forgetting a dentist appointment (oops!) became the catalyst for me to finally fire myself from tasks that weren't serving my business or my sanity.
👉The 5-Step "Fire Yourself" Framework: My exact process for delegating and creating systems. We'll cover everything from the "brain dump" to trusting your team and letting go of control.
👉What Happens When You Let Go: The incredible growth and freedom that came once I stopped babysitting every detail.
And of course, I'm giving you a Lazy CEO Challenge to kickstart your own journey:
Pick one task you know you shouldn't be doing, delegate it, and watch what happens. You might just surprise yourself!
