Want to build a 10+ figure business and 9+ figure net worth? Fastest way, maybe the ONLY way is to become a great leader, a great CEO of your company. Steve Wozniak was a great musician. Steve Jobs played the orchestra.
It's never too late to be who you might have been. George Elliot.
This thread is for you if you aspire to be a CEO, to be a leader. It is not for everyone.
This thread is not for you, if you hate the idea of dealing with employees or thinking BIGGER.
You are still reading means you do want a bigger business and that CEO role. Ask yourself:
For those few remaining... stick around, we'll have fun.
Traits of a good leader:
Try answering these questions:
1. Learning, 2. Listening (asking questions), 3. vision, 4. overconfidence, 5 interruptions, 6. complacency, and 7. ability to make things happen and to delegate. @Kak talks about this the Kyle Keegan Radio Show (KKRS) a lot.
You are a leader if and only if people follow you when they have the freedom not to. Jim Collins.
P.S. Why am I doing this? To clarify my own thinking and help others in similar position along the way.

You are still reading means you do want a bigger business and that CEO role. Ask yourself:
- Why do you want it? Be honest, if you had all the money you ever wanted, would you still want to do it?
- What does "success" mean to you?
- What is your moral compass? Did you ever write down things you wouldn't do?
For those few remaining... stick around, we'll have fun.
Traits of a good leader:
- Courage - to take a stand
- Perseverance - to finish what you start
- Integrity - to say what you mean
- Self-control - to keep emotion in check
- Fairness - knowing right and wrong
- Discretion - humility, modesty.
Try answering these questions:
- An effective leader never stops doing what?
- What is the CEO's single most important skill?
- What is the one job a CEO cannot delegate?
- What is the leading cause of CEO's errors in judgement?
- What are CEO's biggest time wasters?
- What is the single best predictor of company's poor performance?
- What two skills differentiate good from bad CEOs?
