Nice job! Now it's time to embrace your inner CEO!
A funny thing happens when you reach this point in your business. It's as if all the work you put in at the growth stage finally begins to pay off. New opportunities come your way. Your income (and your impact) increase seemingly on their own, and when you say to your spouse, "Maybe I'll take next summer off," they don't roll their eyes at you because they know it's entirely possible.
If you've got even bigger goals though, there are still improvements to be made, such as better automation, team building, and creating multiple streams of income.
I hand picked these articles and podcast episodes to help you get started...

Outsourcing lets you buy back your time
At this stage in your business it's time to start delegating the tasks that must be done, but that aren't the best use of your time. Whether it's bookkeeping, tech troubleshooting, graphic design, or dozens of other projects you don't love doing or aren't proficient with, there's someone out there who will do it well... and it will probably cost less than you think it will.
Know your numbers!
Tracking your results gives you increased insight
One of your most important jobs as the CEO of your business is to know what drives your income. That means tracking your results (yes, even if you hate spreadsheets).
Just for email marketers, I've created an AirTable database that makes it easy for you to plug in your campaign plans and track your sales so you can know exactly what worked and what didn't.
Don't let a fear of spreadsheets hold you back from using this powerful business builder.
