The CEO Sage

What If It Could Be Better?


Listen Later

You built something incredible. You made a thing that didn't exist. You're running a multi-million-dollar business, and yes, that's magic.

But somewhere along the way, the dream you chased became a box you're trapped in.

Kris calls this the quiet crisis. You've achieved the success you set out to create, but now you're drowning in it. You can't leave because too many people depend on you. You can't pivot because you're afraid of losing the revenue, the security, the key people. So you stay, spinning on all the ways it could fall apart.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, she's talking to the woman who built her empire and is now wondering if this is it. Is this the whole thing? Can you ever be free? And she's offering a completely different way to think about it.

What you'll learn:

  • Why the very thing that got you here (risk and adventure) is what you need to keep moving forward
  • How fear becomes the cage you lock yourself into
  • Why losing something might be the best thing that ever happened (and the evidence that proves it)
  • The question she asked herself that changed everything
  • Why you're more trapped when you're too close to the weeds
  • What happens when you reframe from protection mode to belief mode

There's a moment early in the episode where Kris talks about Elastigirl from the Incredibles, stretched so far she can't move. That's you right now. Completely maxed out because you've painted such a terrifying picture of what happens if you let go.

But what if you're not done building? What if you don't have to just protect what you have, but build something on top of it? The woman who started this business would believe that.
