WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO NOW CEO Lessons Day 10

Today is the last in my series and I left it for the non-work areas you should develop, work on and do to make yourself a better person, CEO and leader! Must Do’s for a CEO

1.  Read voraciously, set a target to read at least one book a month.

2.  Network — In the early days of the company meet as many people as you can. In the later days of the company, choose carefully who you want to meet and reach out to them.

3.  Take vacation — don’t feel guilty about it, you need to refresh yourself for all to benefit.

4.  You will do public speaking — internally to your employees and externally to the world. Practice before every major speech.

5.  Your job is to protect the downside of the company. The upsides will anyways take care of themselves. Think about the negatives, but don’t express them!

6.  Exercise — Being a CEO will take a massive toll on your mental health. One way to keep your sanity is to exercise. Make it a habit to exercise at least 5 days a week (you can pick a sport).

7.  Every time you say ‘Yes’ to something, you will be saying ‘No’ to something else. Choose your ‘Yes’ wisely.

Thank you and best of luck, I hope this was helpful!
