Summary
This episode is about the mindset change we must make to run our company. We will talk about how to start acting like a CEO rather than an entrepreneur. We will explore what I've changed, what I struggled with, and what worked really well after I abandoned the entrepreneurial approach of my business. We will look at what we need to change regarding our staff, investing in our company, strategy, boundaries, and much more.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- The difference between seeing ourselves as the business and being the leader of that business
- How hiring people can liberate us and make our operations run smoothly and more efficiently
- Why changing who we are on social media is vital
- Why implementing boundaries is so hard yet so rewarding in the long run
When I started running my business, it felt like I was playing at having a business. It felt like a game because I was working things out along the way. The sensation of feeling like a fraud disappeared when I started making money, which made me feel like an entrepreneur. But then I realised that if I wanted to have a game-changing profitable business, an entrepreneur mindset wasn't enough. I needed a CEO mindset.

| 0:30.5 | Hello and welcome to today's episode of the podcast, which is all about starting to act like a CEO rather than just an entrepreneur, which I know is a bit of a weird title and we'll go into it |
| 0:35.4 | in a second. But first of all, I just wanted to say thank you because so many of you are sending me messages, saying that |
| 0:41.3 | you're really enjoying the podcast and makes quite a lot of difference to someone like me who, |
| 0:47.1 | you know, gets on and talks to herself for 20 minutes, which is what it feels like you're doing |
| 0:52.0 | when you're doing a podcast, especially like I've only been doing it a month. |

| 1:22.4 | an entrepreneur. So the reason that I think this is important is because when I started in business, I felt like |
| 1:28.6 | I was just sort of playing at having a business. If you felt like that, when you just, you know, |
