It\u2019s easy to get frustrated with your business \u2013 especially if being at work kept you from enjoying the holidays\u2026 But you don\u2019t have to be a slave to your business! You can break free and learn to love your business again! It won\u2019t be easy, but it all starts with learning to let go and take a step back. You have to create systems, learn to delegate, build your team and free up your own time so you can focus on business growth and have a more balanced life.<\/p>\n<p>To get started, ask yourself a few questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When was the last time you took a real vacation? Could you leave your business unattended for weekend, week or a month without it suffering?<\/li>\n<li>Are you able to \u201cturn it off\u201d when you\u2019re not working or do you spend all your time thinking about your business?<\/li>\n<li>Are you directly involved in every transaction, decision and problem or do you have systems and a team you trust to handle those without you?<\/li>\n<li>As the owner, are you also the technician for your business? Have you trained anyone to do that work in your absence?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.TheGrowthCoach.com\">The Growth Coach<\/a>, we understand that many business owners struggle with these same questions. You\u2019ve built the business \u2013 it\u2019s your baby \u2013 and it\u2019s hard to let go of even the smallest task. But if you\u2019re going to love your business again and if you want to build a secure future for you and your family, you have to learn to let go a little.<\/p>\n<p>A great way to step back from the busyness is to transition yourself from \u201cbusiness owner\u201d to \u201cCEO.\u201d When you think of yourself as the business owner, it\u2019s easy to make yourself personally responsible for every task within the business. But that busyness is hurting you, your business and your bottom line. If you start thinking of yourself as a CEO, you can treat your business like a separate entity and start to hire, train and build a team that can take on the tasks you were doing as the business owner. A CEO is an ultimate leader \u2013 not someone you call with every small problem or question.<\/p>\n<p>Having trouble thinking of yourself as a CEO? Try this\u2026 If you\u2019re a CEO, what should your hourly wage be? $50 an hour? $75 an hour? $150 an hour? Regardless of the number, you have to stop doing $10- and $20-per-hour tasks! That\u2019s costing your business money! \u00a0What tasks are you doing that you could pay someone else to do so you can focus on business growth? Bookkeeping? Maintenance? Cleaning?\u00a0 Let others in your organization or vendors do such tasks if they can do them better and cheaper than you can.<\/p>\n<p>Transitioning into a CEO role takes time, but once you\u2019ve gotten there, you\u2019ll find that you are no longer prisoner to your business and that, when you\u2019ve created systems, it doesn\u2019t require you each and every day. And you know what? When you can spend that time building, growing and innovating, we bet you\u2019ll fall in love with your business all over again.<\/p>\n<p>Filed under: <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/category\/business-coaching\/\">Business Coaching<\/a> Tagged: <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/balance\/\">balance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-blog\/\">business blog<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-coach\/\">business coach<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-coaching-2\/\">business coaching<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-coaching-advice\/\">business coaching advice<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-management\/\">business management<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-owner\/\">business owner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-owner-burnout\/\">business owner burnout<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-owner-emotional-management\/\">business owner emotional management<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-owner-mindset\/\">business owner mindset<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-owner-roles\/\">business owner roles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/business-systems\/\">business systems<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/delegation\/\">delegation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/entrepreneur\/\">entrepreneur<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/growth-coach\/\">Growth Coach<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/leadership\/\">leadership<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/small-business\/\">small business<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/small-business-leader\/\">small business leader<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/small-business-management\/\">small business management<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/strategic-business-owner\/\">strategic business owner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/strategic-mindset\/\">strategic mindset<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/growthcoachblog.com\/tag\/work-life-balance\/\">work life balance<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/growthcoachcorp.wordpress.com\/1670\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/growthcoachcorp.wordpress.com\/1670\/\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.wp.com\/b.gif?host=growthcoachblog.com&amp;blog=13844076&amp;post=1670&amp;subd=growthcoachcorp&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is your business driving you crazy?
