Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Bankrupt to 2 Day CEO
[1:16] – Skylar shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Grind it out, work as hard as you possibly can, and find a way to stay balanced in your relationships and in life while you’re building success.
[2:20] – Gaining freedom in business.
- Hire the right people, get the right processes in place, and develop your skill set around being a great leader.
- It’s completely possible in any business to have the business run on its own. Adapt that mindset of getting the right people and the right processes.
[4:55] – The role of having a systemization plan in play
- It’s important to have a plan for what pieces of your business need to be systemized and process driven.
- Look at what areas of your business have inefficiencies.
[8:08] – In building the right systems and the right automation, what should we not forget?
- The number one thing you should be focused on is driving revenue, getting clients, and marketing. Develop your marketing skill set and focusing on driving clients to your company.
- Work on systemization and on processes – but that should be a much smaller portion of your time.

[15:58] – The most impactful lesson that we can learn from coaching CEOs.
- Have a right-hand person who is skilled and capable, and can work alongside to help you grow the business.
