Are You a CEO or a Glorified Employee?

Are you a CEO of your business or a glorified employee???

We all pursue our own businesses in an effort to create time freedom, am I right???

On my way home from Ireland this summer I couldn't help but think about the true freedom of stepping away from my business for 7 days and know that it didn't miss a beat.?

How many of us traded our 9-5's to realize we were? running a biz working 5am-9pm with no vacation time? ( ?? guilty in my early years!)?

Now don't get me wrong...getting started takes grit, sacrifice and burning the candle a bit at two ends to get the momentum going....but if you are more than 2 years out from starting your business and you still can't step away...my friend, you need to reassess how you are running your business.?

My mission is to reduce burnout and empower more business owners to live all out...so I put together some key signs you are stepping into your CEO power and away from being an overpaid (or even underpaid ??) employee:

1. Does your business generate revenue even while you are gone? Meaning new sales, not just recurring revenue?
2. Are your clients still served while you are out and do they get the same caliber service while you are gone?
3. If a fire drill happens while you are out, is there someone on your team that can triage it??
4. Can you truly leave your computer behind? No checking of emails..no availability...you are totally OUT and the whole place doesn't begin to fall apart?

??If you answered yes to these 4 questions...my friend..congrats!!!! You have elevated from entrepreneur to CEO.? You have delegated and created systems that create the freedom lifestyle we all desire.?

If you answered no to any or all these questions and desire a true break from your business (b/c let's be honest, no matter how much you love it...we do it for the freedom and if you aren't getting the freedom...you will burnout) take this check list as a to "do" list to work towards your freedom CEO life.? Start looking at ways to create a solid process in your business and key talent to help you run the ship!!!? You will be on your way to leaving the laptop behind in no time!!!

Cheers to the freedom we all deserve!?
