220. Embracing the CEO Mindset with Amber McCue: Strategies for Time Freedom and Business Success

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here—and if you've ever felt like your business is running you instead of the other way around, this one's for you. We're joined by the incredible Amber McCue, a systems queen, time freedom strategist, and all-around business powerhouse. 

This episode is all about reclaiming your role as the CEO—not just in your biz, but in your life.

Amber shares how she helps entrepreneurs move from reactive to intentional, even when life is full and the calendar feels packed. She breaks down her signature "Planathon" system and how it helps business owners get super clear on what actually moves the needle. You'll hear how to set visionary goals, batch like a boss, and shift from doing all the things to doing the right things.

What we love about Amber's story is how real she is about the seasons of business. We talk about letting go of guilt when your pace changes, how to build a business that runs even when you're not "on," and why protecting your energy is the highest form of strategy. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or running a growing team, Amber's insights will meet you right where you are.

This convo is an invitation to slow down, reset, and rise up with clarity. Because when you operate from a place of peace and vision, you show up stronger for your family, your clients, and yourself.
