Welcome to this week’s Entrepreneur Express Tip in 5 minutes or less! I have fired 5 CEOs this week from their own jobs. Business owners often don’t give themselves space to think about getting out of the weeds in their day-to-day. Sometimes you must delegate and fire yourself as the CEO of your own company.
