When people think of running a business, they dream of making a lot of money, traveling the world, and working less. According to host May Yeo Silvers, this is known as the CEO mindset. While it is entirely possible to achieve this lifestyle, there are many things an entrepreneur must do before they get to that place. In today’s episode, May discusses the distinction between a CEO mindset and an employee mindset.
According to May, the first step to running a successful company is letting go of your employee mindset. To do this, May explains that you need to focus on investing in your business and be willing to always take that extra step. In reality, being a CEO comes with many more risks than being an employee. As a CEO, you are responsible for the outcome of every decision you make. So when deciding whether or not you want to open a business, it is important to first understand what it means to be a CEO.
Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about the difference between a business owner and a CEO, the importance of investing in your business, and how to use your ‘why’ to transform you from an employee into a powerful and successful CEO.
