things I do as a gen z ceo that would send other business owners into a coma 🕺🏼🦖

1️⃣ I only take meetings tues-thurs

No bc do u rly think that a) I want to have a meeting so close to my weekend or b) that I’m gonna be in the brain space for talking big plans?

No babes, Mondays and Fridays are for blasting music n admin!!

2️⃣ ‘unprofessional’ only with my clients

they hired me, so they get FULL me! think ‘omg yes this is tea’ and ‘yes boss 🫡’ over ‘kind regards’

I have never been and never want to be a corporate bore

3️⃣ i honestly don’t care if my team works their full hours

work 3 hours a day or 7 hours, if the work is done to a great quality geeeenuinely why would i care??

You do you boo and if you wanna hyperfocus all morning then take the afternoon off, pop off queen love dat for u!

business owners are taking life too seriously, losing their personal touch, overworking team members and wondering why their brand isn’t making good progress? 🤡

Live a little, give your team FREEDOM and TIME to be creative, and honestly just take a chill pill x

yours sincerely,

a girl that’s officially been a CEO for 6 years and learnt a lot of this the hard way xxxx
