The Liberated CEO: The 9-Step Program to Running a Better Business so it Doesn't Run You

PREFACE

When I first starting talking to literary agents about writing a book about my family's sailing trip, my idea was to write more of a work–life balance book that focused on living your dreams, and spending quality time with one's children while balancing the demands of a career. Soon into the process it became apparent that I had built my business in an incredible fashion. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes through luck, and many times through trial and error, I had created a system that allowed me to take my personal, individual relationships with my clients and migrate them to a personal, individual relationship with my company. This transition has been revolutionary for my company, and can be for any small business. So it is that we set out to take what I developed and learned over the years prior to our two-and-a-half year sailing trip into nine steps to help anyone transition their practice into a business, and liberate themselves from the day-to-day grind of the office. I hope you enjoy the lessons in this book and liberate yourself to go and live your dreams now.
