Promote Yourself to CEO | Small Business Strategy for Women Entrepreneurs

Things are humming right along in your business and life. Then, an unexpected bill lands on your desk. Maybe you found out your entire HVAC system needs replacing, or your kid stayed in the hospital for a few nights and now you’re looking at a big medical bill. Or perhaps you forgot to put away enough for taxes and discovered the need to quickly catch up. Any entrepreneur will find themselves in a situation where you gotta come up with some cash really quickly. 

So what do you do when you’re in that situation? In this episode, I talk about the fastest path to cash and why it’s better than the alternatives. Don’t worry; it’s not creating an entirely new offer, coming up with a passive income product on the fly, or offering a huge discount or flash sale. Let’s dive in! https://rachealcook.com/fastest-path-to-cash/

It takes next-level leadership for your team, your clients, and your community - and leading so many people requires self-leadership FIRST. 

That's why in this behind the scenes episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from a recent live strategy and support call that I hosted inside The CEO Collective. Every single week, I not only show up for lightning round strategy Q&A, but also to address the challenges that we've all come up against in our business.

Over the last year, we've talked about everything from navigating the pandemic, showing up as an imperfect ally during Black Lives Matter, juggling virtual school + running a business, an intense election year, and so much more.

If you've been listening to the recent Unsexy Secrets to Sustainable Success Series, you might be thinking 'This all sounds too simple. How will I know that slowing down to implement these strategies will actually help me grow?' then this episode is a must listen.

When you've been surrounded by the hustle harder hype, it seems completely counter-intuitive that slowing down and strategically planning can be the key to unlocking your success.

That's why I'm thrilled to interview CEOs Paula Billig and Nichole Lynn to share how implementing the 90 Day CEO System into their business has not only helped them to burnout proof their business, but has been the key to consistent growth over the last year including growing revenue by over 162%.

Have you ever felt like your business was stuck, like it had plateaued at a certain level of success?

No matter what you tried, however many courses you took, or whatever trending tips, tricks, and tactics you attempted to implement, you couldn’t move forward and get to that illusive next level of success.

In this episode, I continue with part two of this Unsexy Secrets to Sustainable Success series, so keep listening if this sounds familiar. You’ll hear the amazing story of how one of my clients, Xonna Clark, got out of what I call the “top secret entrepreneur lab” and exceeded her monetary goals starting in her first full month in business...without an email list, social media, or any real online presence.

You’ll also discover how to break out of the secret entrepreneur lab yourself so you can start seeing consistent clients and cash flow in your business.

Over the last 13 years of working with women entrepreneurs, I’ve observed them feeling stuck in their business, and there’s a big reason why.

Despite all of the courses and late nights Googling for answers, they’re unable to get past a certain level of success. They’re not sure exactly what it is that’s going to help them break through to that illusive next level where they have more revenue coming in the door, more time back in their schedule, and the dream life and business they’ve been promised.

In this episode, I talk about the two types of entrepreneurs who find themselves stuck and the three limiting beliefs that prevent you from figuring out the action to take to move forward. You’ll discover why you need to get out of information overload and how to start getting into implementation mode to see the results you’re looking for.

Running your business like a CEO requires strategy and planning. It also requires skillfully managing your time and energy every week as a CEO so that you’re putting your attention on the tasks that’ll actually move your business forward. However, this is an area where we often get stuck. The email inbox, administration work, and ongoing busy work daily in our business can become a distraction. Then at the end of the week, we realize we haven’t made progress on those high-priority tasks that will truly move your business forward. In this episode, we’re talking about how you can run your week like a CEO and make those higher-value tasks a priority.

You’ve probably heard of my weekly CEO date if you’ve been following me for a while now. This is where I sit down to check in on my business to make sure we’re continuing to progress towards all the goals we’ve set. But I have another CEO date every single month. This series is all about what you’re doing on an ongoing basis to ensure you aren’t only creating business plans but also following through on them and adapting as circumstances arise. So I’m diving deep today and discussing how to build in self-accountability so that your plan isn’t just another Google document you’ll never look at again.

Every new year feels like a fresh start and a new chance to go after those big, audacious goals for our lives and businesses. But if this year has taught us anything, it’s that our plans need adaptability. We need to build this adaptability into our entire business and allow it flexibility while still getting the results we want. That’s why I love running my quarter through 90-day plans. Today, I talk about how to actually dig in and start creating these plans for your own business.
