Business Builders (Pt:4) Creating Space for Big Picture Thinking
Hey Business Builder owners! Part 4 of this series is all about stepping into your CEO role and carving out the time you need to focus on the big picture. We’re talking about how to break free from the daily grind, think strategically, and lead your business toward long-term growth.
Let’s dive in and start building that CEO muscle!
Key topics covered:
- The difference between working in your business vs. working on it. Why being stuck in the daily grind limits growth and how to shift into a strategic mindset.
- Tips for blocking non-negotiable CEO time in your calendar and making it a priority.
- Visualizing yourself as the leader of every department and asking the big questions about what’s working and what’s next.
- Practical strategies for big-picture thinking.
- How often are you stuck in the daily grind?
- Creating time for big-picture thinking isn’t a luxury, it’s necessary for scaling your business, and it all starts with just a bit of dedicated time.
- Protect that CEO time, practice showing up differently, and watch the ripple effect it has on your business. You’ve got this! Until next time, keep building and leading with intention.
Challenge:
- Block 1 hour of dedicated time in your schedule to be the CEO your business needs.
- Then define your business top priority (two max).
- Remove distractions and think about what you can do to move that priority forward.
