Where did your vision come from? Where'd you unlock this?
Yeah, so I think a little bit of trial and error and learning for myself to be honest with you
because when I started my business, it was great for me. I was happy, right? Working whenever,
all the time, but I enjoyed what I was doing. It was wonderful. And my family and friends were like,
Donna, when can we see you? Right? My kids are like, Mom, are you going to make it to this week's
baseball game? Oh, yeah, just one more email, you know, just one more. And to be honest with you,
I was on a road to burnout. I just couldn't see it. Right. But I was headed in that way with no
doubt. And so it was really nice. I've been saying something's going to change here or this family
and this thing we got going on is going to break. Healthy battery. Yeah. You need to, you know,
figure out what you're doing because this is not working out. And I don't like it, to be honest
with you. I don't like it one little bit. Right. It was hard to swallow, but he was right. And so
I really had to take a step back and say, how can I still continue to grow this business without
being in it all the time? And that's when I had to start to look outward to what big CEOs were doing.
Was I Microsoft? Nowhere near it. But how was Microsoft CEO handling his day? Because, right,
they've got a lot more on their plate than I do. And what nuggets and tidbits can I take from them
and then institute in my business for a small business owner perspective? And so that's when
I really developed some what I like to call CEO habits, which helps small business leaders be successful.
