“Don’t tell me that skies the limit, when there are footprints on the moon”

• Make sure that you don’t let people tell you that sky is the limit, make sure you create your own sky, make sure you can make your own definition of what it means to be a CEO.

CEO Definition:

“What does being a CEO mean to you?”

The goal of the show is not to say you are right or wrong, but to spark the creativity, the essence, the reason an author decided to write a book, or the reason why somebody has a workforce of 5,000 people and the size they want to, it is the essence of the leadership a person provides.

After so many interviews, here are some of the definitions of being a CEO:

• Legacy, servant leadership, making money, making an impact.

How a person thinks, is based on how they approached certain things and often we go through one of the most transformational things in our life and that is going to show the true leadership that is out there.
