The Subtle Signs Of A Business That Can Run Without You
The Effortless CEO
10/08/24 • 10 min
Did you enjoy this episode? Share you aha moment with us!
I read a post by Ramit Sethi a couple of months ago, and the question he posed to his audience was: What are some subtle signs of wealth? The comments that flooded in were hilarious and so on point. My favorite one was: Using an iPhone without a screen protector or protective casing.
It made me laugh because it's such a small thing, but it says so much. It speaks to an ease or confidence that comes with a certain level of financial security. The idea that you don’t have to worry about something breaking, or even care if it does. It’s a form of freedom we all want.
That post inspired today’s episode that is titled: The Subtle Signs of Owning a Business That Can Run Without You. These aren’t flashy, obvious signs that scream, "Look how well I’ve set up my business!" but rather, they’re those subtle shifts that speak volumes about your role in the business and the systems you’ve set up to support you. And like someone wise once told me...it isn’t sexy until it is.You can watch the full episode HERE on YOUTUBE

#145 Slow down. Recalibrate.
The Effortless CEO
09/03/24 • 12 min

Ever notice how you speed up when you’re stressed?
We push harder, try to get more done...faster.
Oftentimes, it doesn’t even have anything to do with how much you need to get done.
It’s a sense of overwhelm and anxiety that moves with you through your week.
Whenever I notice I’m spinning in my own mind, overthinking things, and feeling overwhelmed without being able to pinpoint the specifics behind the discomfort, I do a quick 5 minute exercise to calm myself down and recalibrate myself towards my goals.
It works every time.
I recorded it for you so you can use it too whenever you feel the tension rising.
