If you're a new business owner or still in the season where you prefer to call what you do a side hustle, freelance work, or a hobby, this is for you. I’m sharing 5 strategies to help you step into a CEO role, even if that term feels silly to you now. It's okay to feel new and uncertain but to grow your business, you need to act like a business owner. That means letting go of the freelancer and hobbyist mentality and taking things more seriously. Don’t worry - I’m going to help you do just that today!

I originally recorded a similar episode to this in 2019, inspired by this quote: "Treat your business like a business and it'll PAY you like a business. Treat your business like a hobby and it will COST you like a hobby."

In fact, at that time, I had a post go viral on Instagram that said, “You can’t run your business like a freelancer and expect results like a CEO.” - something I still agree with today! Four years later (after working on my own business and with many other businesses!), I’m back to share more insights on this incredibly important topic! This episode is a must-listen!
