December reveals the truth about your business.
If stepping away creates chaos, stress, or constant interruptions, the issue isn't the holidays — it's the structure underneath the business.
In this Holiday Edition of The CEO Shift Show, Carol Surbey walks service-based CEOs through the mindset, systems, and leadership architecture required to build a business that can run without them.
This episode explores:
Why December pressure exposes operational weaknesses
The 5 pillars of a business that doesn't rely on owner overfunctioning
How to shift from firefighter to scalable CEO
The identity work required to step back without guilt
What it actually takes to build a business that supports your life
This is not about doing less.
It's about building better.
