AS A YOUNG GIRL, I was fascinated with why some people had amazing lives and why others failed.

Nearly 23 years ago when I began coaching entrepreneurs and business owners, I became intrigued by what distinguished a good business from an extraordinary business. In both growing my own business and coaching my clients, I’ve learned the secret lies in transforming yourself from manager to leader.

Your business is either growing or dying; you can’t stay in one place. Building a successful business and team is about evolving. You’re either progressing and expanding, or stalling and contracting. This includes being a leader that focuses on the important things — even in the midst of your busy season.

Many leaders struggle with managing (i.e., being a manager) vs. being a leading (being a leader) in their business and at work.

I will be creating a series of posts in regards to this topic over the upcoming weeks...

I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas (and in particular, actions) that support you in being a leader in your business, versus just being a manager?
