I'm sharing a special excerpt from our 2024 Women With Grit Retreat. This year's retreat was all about shifting the mindset from business owners to CEOs—from focusing on the how to embracing the who.

In this episode, I dive deep into what it truly means to be a CEO. It's not about the title or the paycheck; it's about stepping into your power with confidence, leading with purpose, and building a business that not only thrives but also creates lasting impact. If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of "how do I get all of this done?" instead of "who can help me achieve this?" then this episode is for you.

You'll learn:

• The mindset shifts needed to evolve from a business owner to a visionary CEO.
• The qualities of a CEO that go beyond strategy—embracing leadership, resilience, and intentionality.
• Why relationships are the real currency of successful leadership.
• How to step into rooms where you belong, face challenges with grace, and build a business that aligns with your life.

This message is one I believe all entrepreneurs need to hear, especially those who feel intimidated by growth or stuck in the day-to-day grind. More good entrepreneurs should have bigger businesses, and this episode will show you how to start that transformation.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What it really means to be a CEO: vision, leadership, and impact.
• Shifting your mindset from "how" to "who" and leveraging relationships.
• The traits that define a successful CEO—relentlessness, strategic focus, and the ability to take calculated risks.
