Think Like a CEO
You may see the title of this podcast and think… PASS…. I have no interest in being a CEO be it in a corporate setting or even as an entrepreneur.
But we’re going to ask you to put your thoughts around what a CEO is or isn’t. CEO thinking isn’t just limited to the professional world.
You see, the ideas around thinking like a CEO are transferable to whatever you do for a living and wherever you are in your life.
In this episode, we’re going to explore the minds of CEOs, how they think and process differently, and how you can apply their way of thinking into your everyday life.
Are you working too hard?
You’ve missed your kid’s last ten soccer games
Your spouse has morphed into a roommate
The exhaustion is so severe you’re making ridiculous mistakes

In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to think like a CEO and how the heck you do it…
Create space so that you can think, time to plan, time to visualize and dream, time to do
Get curious, the greatest CEOs ask questions, they don’t just accept what they see, they question to learn
Think in frameworks and processes, understanding what needs to go into the foundation of what you are creating so you can build upon it
Simplify, continually ask yourself the question – how can I make this simple? How can I make this easy?
Run everything through the service model, it can be Fast, Cheap, or Good – pick two of these and remember you can’t have all three
Make your expectations aggressive but realistic, push yourself out of your comfort zone but don’t make it unrealistic
Use a risk/reward formula to weigh decisions
Get out of the weeds – sometimes we (Mimi!) can go down the rabbit hole of too much detail – be careful to not get caught in that place
