Whether you’ve left your job or you’re planning on leaving your job, becoming the CEO of your own business is an important topic to cover, and is one that often gets left out of the discussion when talking about pursuing a freelance career.

When you’re a CEO, you have to be the one calling the shots and being the visionary. This is not an easy thing to do as a freelancer because you often work alone. It is, however, an essential part of ensuring that you drive the direction of your career rather than slipping back into the routine you had when you were employed by someone else.

In today’s episode, we’ll discuss four steps that will push you closer to becoming the CEO of your business.

“You started a business to have flexibility, to have ownership, but to also grow yourself. In order for all of those things to happen, we need to become the CEO of our business.”

In this episode Avani talks about:

What becoming the CEO of your own company means for you.
How simple planning can drastically shift the pace of your business.
How you can step into the role of CEO.

1. Planning your week

At the beginning of every week, you should plan out the three big things that you want to get done and prioritize them.

2. Block time in your calendar

If you don’t physically block out the time in your calendar to get these items done, all of your time is going to be taken up by meetings, team members, and other things on your mind. Fill your calendar with your priorities first and then backfill with other items as they come up.

3. Motivation

Understand and connect to your “why”. Why did you leave your job? Why are you doing what you’re doing? If you can plug into your “why”, motivation is going to come easier.

4. Have a way to step into your CEO mindset

Stepping into this mindset helps you to level up mentally and it gives you confidence. My favorite way to do this is with morning affirmations in my journal.
