Rescue My Bookkeeping Business Podcast:

Behind the Scenes of a CEO Day

Date: August 20, 2025

Summary: In this episode, I share my insights on what a real CEO day looks like and why it’s important to set aside intentional time for reflection and planning. I talk about my own journey from feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks to creating a structured approach to CEO days that supports both personal growth and business evolution. I walk through the four focus areas I focus on during my CEO day: reflection, metrics check-in, vision casting, and systems cleanup. I also encourage you to embrace imperfection and put your well-being first as a leader.

✨ You’ll walk away with knowing:

  • I didn't always have CEO time built into my schedule.

  • I felt stuck, disconnected, resentful even.

  • I started blocking CEO time, not every day, not even every week.

  • You don't have to feel on fire to lead well.

  • Not every CEO day is magical.

  • Your business is not just a to-do list.

  • You just need space to breathe, time to reflect.

  • Sometimes showing up imperfectly is the most important thing you can do.

  • Start small. Block off two hours next week.

  • You're allowed to be the visionary even when you're wearing pajamas.
