The Liberated CEO: The 9-Step Program to Running a Better Business so it Doesn't Run You
Imagine being able to run a business from anywhere in the world, escaping the daily grind and creating a schedule that lets you fulfill your lifelong dreams—today. You could run your business from a sailboat in the Caribbean, a cabin in the mountains, or while on an extended trip to Italy. Or maybe you just want to work fewer hours, dialing into staff meetings from your home while still achieving revenue that grows year after year. This is exactly what Scott Leonard does, and he describes his strategies for running a successful business on the go inThe Liberated CEO: The 9-Step Program to Running a Better Business so it Doesn’t Run You.Leonard is the owner of a successful professional services firm with revenues exceeding $3 million. Between 2011 and 2013, Scott and his family sailed around the world while he ran his business successfully from his boat. He believes you shouldn’t be a slave to inefficiencies that eat up your time and prevent you from providing the highest possible levels of service to your customers or clients. He also believes, as a non-traditional CEO, that your dreams shouldn’t wait until you reach a particular monetary goal or hit retirement age, nor should they be hindered by the business you are equally passionate about.The Liberated CEOshows you how to free yourself from counterproductive distractions while still meeting the highest management standards for your company. Leonard helps you overcome the fear that your business will fail without your continued involvement, and shows you how to properly run your staff and operations to continue moving your company in the right direction. And it doesn’t matter where you are or how long you work; you can still run the business you love, he argues, without it running you.Rather than focusing on working 24/7, this book provides a nine-step model of “systematic customization” to develop a healthier, more sustainable company that doesn’t require your constant attention.
