118: Shifting From Doing Everything to Managing Everything with Alecia Huck
One of the big transitions women go through when they are at six figures and looking to get to seven, is shifting from being the person who does all the stuff to needing to be the CEO. You’ve grown your company this far. You know all the ins and outs of it, exactly how you want everything done. And you have so many ideas! You also now have a team - and it’s growing! Other people are executing your ideas. Suddenly you need processes documenting and you have people looking to you for answers about how you want things done.
