All right, welcome to today's episode of the Art of Online Business Podcast, my friends.

I'm Rick Mulready, your host, and today is a quick tip episode.

And what I want to do today is this is an Ask Rick episode.

I want to be doing more of these episodes here in the show where people ask me

questions. And when I think these questions can really benefit you, the listener of the show here,

I'm going to share it with you here on the podcast. So if you've got a question, you want me to talk

about here on the podcast, by the way, shoot me a DM over on Instagram at Rick Mulready is the

handle over there on the IG and ask me a question. And Instagram at Rick Mulready is the handle over there on the IG

and ask me your question. And I could answer it here on the show in addition to answering

there for you on the DM. But today I want to talk about your role as CEO. I did an episode

here on the podcast several months ago where I talked about incorporating CEO time into your schedule.

This is something that I do every Friday morning. So Friday morning, or Friday, just all day,

I have no call schedule. I have nothing on the calendar except for, it's basically an off day for me.

I do a four day week. And Friday mornings,

though, is kind of my CEO time, as I call it, where I'm thinking about things, I'm thinking

through something, where I'm creating space in the calendar to be intentional with thinking

and working through things. And it was a topic that really resonated with a lot of you, as I heard

from a ton of people where it was important for them to hear that, that this is something that we can

often just sort of breeze rate through our calendar and not be intentional with scheduling that time

in our calendar. And it's just all doing, doing, doing when, you know,

it's sort of like a secret weapon for the growth of your business, is setting aside that time

in your calendar, in your week, in your day to give yourself that thinking time, that CEO time.
