In this episode, you'll learn why scheduling regular CEO time can help your business grow, the importance of distinguishing between working on your business versus in it, and strategies for standing out in a crowded market. Key points include:

- Is Your Blog a Business? If your blog is generating an income, you should start thinking of it as a business.

- Regular CEO Time: Add regular CEO time to your calendar and involve your support system, like your spouse, to help you stick to it.

- Have a Plan: It's crucial to have a clear plan of action for each CEO session to avoid getting sidetracked by other tasks.

- CEO Checklist: Create a checklist for CEO time, including tasks like reviewing income/expenses, analyzing post performance, and planning upcoming tasks.

- Assess Risks in Your Business: During your dedicated CEO time, risk management is one of the most important tasks to future-proof your business.

- Create Additional Income Streams: Risk management involves coming up with backup systems and additional stream of income for when things go wrong.

- Invest in Yourself: Taking on the CEO role means investing in yourself, whether through joining masterminds, attending conferences, or other professional development opportunities.

- Stand Out: Don't be afraid to differentiate yourself from others in the industry, as blending in can hinder growth and opportunities.
