From Overworked & Overlooked to CEO: 3 Power Moves That Changed Everything

Blog Posts

I used to think I was running a business.

But the truth?

I was just managing chaos.

I was doing all the things such as answering emails, tweaking my website, posting on Instagram, signing up for courses… but I wasn’t actually leading.

I was working hard, yet my business felt stuck. I wasn’t making the kind of money I wanted. And worst of all? I was waiting.

✔️ Waiting until I felt more qualified before charging premium rates.
✔️ Waiting until I had more experience before calling myself an expert.
✔️ Waiting to be invited onto podcasts, collaborations, or summits instead of just pitching myself.

But here’s the wake-up call:

👉🏾 No one is coming to hand you the CEO title.
👉🏾 No one is coming to invite you to step up.
👉🏾 You have to claim it.

And the moment I stopped waiting stopped hiding behind busy work, stopped downplaying my skills, and started showing up as the leader of my business everything changed.

I started attracting aligned clients.
I built a business that worked for me instead of draining me.
And I finally stepped into my CEO energy.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overworked, or waiting for permission to finally own your success, this is your wake-up call.

Here are the three shifts that changed everything and how you can apply them to your business today.

1️⃣ Stop Waiting for Invitations—Make Yourself Visible & Create Your Own Opportunities

For the longest time, I thought if I just did good work, people would notice me.

I assumed that clients would just find me, podcast hosts would invite me on, and big names in my industry would recognize my expertise.

But the truth?

No one is looking for you if you’re not making yourself visible.

The moment I stopped waiting to be invited and started actively putting myself out there, my business changed.

✅ I started pitching myself for podcasts (instead of waiting for invites).
✅ I created my own workshops and events (instead of hoping someone would ask me to speak).
✅ I showed up and shared my expertise consistently (instead of assuming people already knew what I did).

And then, guess what happened?

The invitations started rolling in.

Because when you show up like an expert, people start seeing you as one.

How to Apply This to YOUR Business

Instead of waiting to be noticed, try this:

➡️ If you’re a service provider:

  • Make a list of 10 podcasts, summits, or collaborations that align with your audience. Pitch yourself.
  • Start sharing case studies and client results to position yourself as the go-to expert.
  • Instead of waiting for clients, actively connect & engage with people who need your help.

➡️ If you sell digital products:

  • Host a free live training and invite people into your world.
  • Create SEO-friendly content (blog posts, YouTube videos, or a podcast) so people FIND you.
  • Reach out to bundle or summit hosts and get your product in front of a warm audience.

Ask yourself:
👉🏾 Where am I waiting to be chosen?
👉🏾 How can I take control and create my own opportunities instead?

2️⃣ Stop Running Your Business Like an Employee & Start Leading Like a CEO

If your business only works when you’re working, then you don’t really have a business.

You have a very demanding job.

When I was stuck in “worker mode,” my days looked like this:

🚫 Starting my day in my inbox (reacting to emails instead of focusing on revenue-generating work).
🚫 Tweaking my website, sales pages, or branding (instead of actually selling).
🚫 Saying “yes” to every little task (leaving no time for strategic growth).

But here’s what leading like a CEO actually looks like:

✅ You start your day with sales-generating activities.
✅ You set clear boundaries around your time & energy.
✅ You create systems so your business runs smoothly—without YOU doing everything.

How to Apply This to YOUR Business

➡️ Step 1: Track Your Time for 3 Days
Keep a log of everything you do. Highlight what actually moves the needle vs. what’s just keeping you busy.

➡️ Step 2: Create Your “CEO Time” Block
Dedicate at least 1-2 hours per week to work on your business (not just in it). Use this time for strategic planning, systemizing, and revenue-focused tasks.

➡️ Step 3: Automate, Delegate, or Eliminate
Ask yourself:

  • What tasks could be automated with a simple system?
  • What tasks could I delegate or outsource?
  • What tasks do I need to STOP doing altogether?

If you’re spending more time on admin than actual growth activities, your business will always feel stuck.

And if you need help figuring out what to cut, automate, or shift, that’s exactly what I help my clients with inside my Breakthrough Call. (More on that below!)

3️⃣ Own Your Authority & Take Up Space

Let’s be real:

Women entrepreneurs struggle to fully own their expertise.

We downplay our wins.
We hesitate before sharing our bold opinions.
We over-explain to sound more “qualified.”

But the thing is?

Leaders don’t shrink themselves.

The moment I stopped softening my message and started showing up fully in my authority, things shifted:

✔️ My content became more magnetic.
✔️ My sales got easier because I spoke with confidence.
✔️ My ideal clients trusted me faster because I showed up like a leader.

How to Apply This to YOUR Business

✅ Stop waiting to “feel ready.” Sell your offers NOW.
✅ Share your expertise confidently—without over-explaining.
✅ Take up space in your industry. If you don’t claim your authority, no one else will.

Ask yourself:
👉🏾 Are you showing up like a leader, or are you still playing small?

Final Takeaways + Your Next Step

If you’re tired of:

🚫 Overworking & still feeling stuck
