Back in 2011, I made the single biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my entrepreneurial career... ...I FIRED myself from my own business. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for hiring a President, COO, or even a CEO to run your business so you can step away from the “day-to-day” and do whatever the heck YOU want to do. In other words, I’m all for “quitting” (assuming you’re doing it the right way). But that’s not what I did. I literally fired myself as CEO and replaced me with a “corporate” CEO. So what’s the difference? What did I do that was so wrong? Simply put, I quit on a bad day. As I said, there’s nothing wrong with stepping aside and letting someone else “take the reins,” but you should only do this when your business is ready. DON’T quit when you’re frustrated... DON’T quit when you’re burned out, and... DON’T quit just because you think, “I no longer have what it takes.” Never, never, NEVER quit on a bad day. I’ll tell you the rest of the sad, sordid, story during a training I’m hosting on Thursday, but for now, I’ll leave you with what I wish I had done differently... (Spoiler Alert: If I had followed these steps, I would have saved at least $2.5M in cash and NOT lost an entire year of my life.) STEP 1: I should have installed a company operating system so my business didn’t require me (and so I wasn’t burned out and desperate to quit). STEP 2: I should have hired stronger functional leaders BEFORE hiring a CEO, or just waited to see if my current leadership team could perform their roles with better systems in place. (In retrospect, they were up to the task. I had set them up to fail.) STEP 3: I should have hired my replacement only after it was clear the company was running on a foundation of systems (as opposed to my ability to swoop in and save the day). In other words, I should have become an “Automated CEO” before I exited the CEO role. Had I done that, I probably never would have quit, and I definitely wouldn’t have fired myself. This Thursday, I’m hosting a live training breaking down the steps of how you can shift from being an overwhelmed, overworked, ineffective CEO to being the high-performance, “automated” CEO you’ve always wanted to be (and that you know your company deserves. It’s totally free. If you want an invite, just comment "AUTOMATED" and I'll send you the details. Oh yeah, and I’ll also tell you the rest of the “I fired myself” story. But fair warning, it gets UGLY. :)
