How To Run Your Small Business Like A CEO

The secret to scaling a successful business is knowing how to run your small business like a CEO. That’s the difference between businesses that achieve long-term success and those that don’t. But, what is a CEO? What does a CEO do? And how do you run your small business like a CEO?

Most businesses fail because they go with the grain. If you want to succeed, you need to go against it. The way most people run their businesses today sends them on a downward spiral until they become miserable working in their own company.

I don’t want that to be your future, and I’m sure you don’t want that for yourself either!

In this video, I clarify the difference between a hobbyist, freelancer, entrepreneur, small business owner and a CEO, and what it means to be all of these things.

Then, I explain why and how you should run your small business like a CEO and how doing so will help scale your business to exponential heights (minus the loss of sanity!).

Watch this video to find out:

• Whether you’re stuck in ‘business purgatory’ (yes, it’s a real thing)
• The difference between a hobbyist, freelancer, entrepreneur, small business owner and a CEO
• Why you should think like a CEO
• What does a CEO do?
• How to run your small business like a CEO

For someone who wants to become a CEO that a private equity group will invest in, what technical skills do they need? Could you recommend a book on somewhere to start? Or how do you start, run, and scale a business as an entrepreneur?
