December reveals the truth about your business.

If stepping away creates chaos, stress, or constant interruptions, the issue isn't the holidays — it's the structure underneath the business.

In this Holiday Edition of The CEO Shift Show, Carol Surbey walks service-based CEOs through the mindset, systems, and leadership architecture required to build a business that can run without them.

This episode explores:

• Why December pressure exposes operational weaknesses

• The 5 pillars of a business that doesn't rely on owner overfunctioning

• How to shift from firefighter to scalable CEO

• The identity work required to step back without guilt

• What it actually takes to build a business that supports your life

This is not about doing less. It's about building better.
