Plan Like a CEO: My Weekly System to Stay Focused, Profitable, and Present (The Best of  2025)

We’re wrapping up the year with your most-downloaded episodes—the ones that helped you grow smarter, simplify faster, and work less without losing momentum. 

 

This week's pep talk kicks-off a replay of our very first ever live CEO Week series. In this series, we'll be breaking down actionable tips to help you design your dream schedule and bring your business vision to life without burning out. Each week, you'll learn three crucial shifts to focus your efforts, attract the right customers, and create a balanced life you love. Today, we begin with Shift #1: Finding your focus.

 

In today's episode, I share:

  • What a CEO Week actually looks like (spoiler: it’s more than just blocking off time) 
  • How to prioritize the right tasks based on your season of life and business 
  • The 3 key categories that should always be on your CEO calendar 
  • Why traditional to-do lists are failing you—and what to do instead 
  • Real-life examples you can model (even if your schedule feels crazy)
