Episode 128. Are You the Visionary Your Business Needs? A Conversation with Brie Chrisman
You’re reading this most likely because you’re the owner of a private practice (or you’re heading that way.)
How do you think of yourself?
An entrepreneur? A small business owner?
Or a CEO?
(Erm, Wendy … aren’t they the same thing?? 🤔)
Well no - they’re not - and that’s what we’re going to dive into today.
Brie Chrisman is the founder and CEO of Boss Co, an operations management agency helping mental health practice owners streamline operations and increase profits without added stress.
And I like the sound of that. Don’t you?
In this interview, Brie and I explored what it means to make the shift from thinking like an entrepreneur to thinking like a CEO (and why that matters.)
But here’s the thing … along with a shift in mindset, you also need the right systems and processes behind you, to support you in that role.
And THAT is what you’ll learn about today as Brie walks us through the exact process (and tools) she uses with her own clients.
You’ll also hear:
- The specific steps needed to shift from an entrepreneurial mindset to a CEO mindset (and the cost of not making the switch).
- What to do when you know you need to hire help, but you just don’t have the time (plus - a genius way to train them, FAST).
- The one new skill that you must cultivate before you can step into the role of CEO (and one behavior you’ve got to STOP right now).
- The difference between a $20/hr task and a $200/hr task, and why it matters so much.
Brie also has a special gift for you that I am SO impressed with. (Seriously - I was thrilled when she said she’d share this.)
That will help you get started right now, so you definitely don’t want to miss that.
Honestly guys - this is such an important topic.
In fact, often my coaching clients tell me that one of the things they learn through our time together is HOW to think like a CEO; this is critical to building a practice that is Ideal to you.
So, here’s to leveling up…
and becoming the visionary that your business needs.
Give this one a listen, and get prepared for an awesome 2025!
