Running a small business means wearing all the hats—marketer, customer service rep, content creator, and yes, CEO. But let’s be honest: the CEO hat often gets buried beneath a pile of to-dos.
That’s why we recommend setting aside one dedicated day each week as your CEO Day—a time to rise above the daily tasks and focus on your business instead of being stuck in it.
At Evergreen Studio, we’ve seen how powerful this one intentional shift can be. When business owners carve out just a few hours for high-level strategy, they start leading with clarity, not just reacting to what’s urgent.
What to Do on Your CEO Day
Here are a few powerful, actionable ways to use your CEO time each week:
1. Review Your Goals
Check in on your monthly or quarterly objectives. Are you making progress? Do your actions align with your priorities?
2. Track Your Metrics
Spend 15–30 minutes reviewing key numbers—sales, engagement, client pipeline. What’s working? What needs adjusting?
3. Plan Ahead
Look at your calendar for the next 1–2 weeks. What’s coming up that requires prep or delegation? Block time now.
4. Delegate & Automate
This is a great time to offload tasks. Are there admin items, client follow-ups, or content scheduling you can hand off to a VA? (Hint: yes, there are.)
5. Dream a Little
CEO time isn’t just about logistics—it’s about vision. Where do you want your business to be in six months? What lights you up?
Make It Sacred
Whether it’s every Monday morning or Friday afternoon, treat your CEO Day like a standing meeting with your most important client—your business. Turn off notifications, grab your favorite beverage, and create space to lead with intention.
