EP2: What Does it Mean to Be a Part-Time CEO?

“How do I work only two and a half days a week? The answer comes in two words: schedule blocking.”


This week on The Part-Time CEO we’re discussing what it means to be a Part-Time CEO, and one of my biggest secrets to success - schedule blocking. Learn how I make my day work for me, instead of wondering where all of the hours disappeared. When we have limited amounts of time, and countless potential distractions, it can feel impossible to navigate a successful business. I’m here to tell you that it’s not impossible, and I’m doing it right now! Listen in to learn how.

”Freedom comes from discipline.”

Being a Part-Time CEO doesn’t mean that you have to limit yourself to 20 hours a week! If you love the hours you put in, and you don’t have as many obligations during this season of your life, by all means, full steam ahead, sister. Being a Part-Time CEO means running a successful business on YOUR terms. I want you to be able to experience a full, balanced life, finding success and not burnout. I can’t wait to hear how schedule blocking changes the way that you do business!


“Let's face it, we as humans are prone to distractions.. But if we are constantly being disrupted, unfortunately, we don't end up doing anything well.”
