Running a business is ALL about adaptability.
I don’t just mean adapting to unforeseen major global events (hello, 2020!), but also adapting to the different stages of growth that a successful business will inevitably move through.
From start-up … to CEO-up.
In our last episode, I talked about what Modern CEOs should be focusing on throughout the four stages of business growth: Start-Up, Ramp-Up, Scale-Up, and CEO-Up.
Today, I want to talk about the MINDSET that we want to embrace at each of these stages, as we nurture our businesses from one level of growth to the next (and develop our amazing leadership skills)!
Just as we must have different areas of focus for each of these stages, we also need to shift our ways of thinking at each stage.
In this way, a Modern CEO mindset is more like a mind-GROWTH -- you need to be able to let go of past modes of thinking and embrace new ones.
After all, you’ll need to embody a different type of energy and be open to a different set of possibilities in the Start-Up stage than in the Scale-Up stage!
And I can’t wait to help you make that shift!
