How to Get Out of the Grind and Become the CEO of Your Small Business (Operator vs CEO vs Owner)

180501-TaraWagnerBrand-568

Operator vs CEO vs Owner…what’s the difference and how does moving into the CEO role help you be a better small business owner, have more time, and make more money?

I’m describing the differences, and why you need to have a regular CEO day, or CEO Strategy Day, if you want to be successful working ON your business, not IN your business (or FOR it).

There is a HUGE difference between being the Owner, the CEO, and the Operator of your company. Regardless of what phase your biz is in, this YT video will change your POV on your role.

I’m talking about…

  • The difference between a CEO vs Owner vs Operator – and which one’s the goal
  • How to know if you’re in operator mode and why it’s bad for biz
  • How the CEO role is what actually gets you into the Owner role
  • How to step into the CEO role when you’re busy operating a business with something called a “CEO day”
  • How often you should schedule your CEO day based on YOUR needs
  • And how to spend that time to make real progress in your biz

To catch specific parts?

Point blank: your business needs you to be a CEO – not an exhausted errand girl.

That’s NOT sustainable. But as all small business owners know, sometimes you get to wear all the hats in the early years. 

Learning how to organize your business for the long-run, learning how to THINK like a CEO means understanding how to be a SMALL BUSINESS CEO with something like a quarterly, monthly, or even weekly CEO work routine.
