Embracing the CEO Mindset
As the CEO of AHK Business Management, Ashley shares her mission of equipping business owners with CEO Days and systems to effectively manage the health, wealth, and growth of their businesses. Ashley introduces the concept of CEO Days—a dedicated block of time each week when business owners can step away from client work and focus on the strategic aspects of their businesses. This intentional practice, as Ashley emphasizes, goes beyond a mere administrative day; it's an opportunity for entrepreneurs to don their CEO hat and engage in transformative work that elevates their thinking about themselves and their businesses.
The Three R Framework
Central to the CEO Day philosophy is the three R framework—Reflect, Recharge, and Reset. Ashley explains how these elements form the backbone of an effective CEO Day. Reflecting involves examining key business metrics and assessing one's emotional well-being as a business leader. Recharging encompasses activities that bring energy back into the business, such as professional development or self-care. Finally, the Reset phase involves preparing for the week ahead, setting goals, and aligning actions with broader business objectives.
Practical Tips for Implementation
Ashley and Christy explore the importance of choosing the right day and time for these strategic sessions, ensuring alignment with personal rhythms and client needs. They discuss the flexibility within the three R framework, emphasizing the need for recurring tasks to maintain consistency and accountability.
They also discuss overcoming challenges and initial discomfort when transitioning into a CEO Day routine. They stress the significance of creating visual cues, using automatic email responses to set expectations, and having an accountability buddy for mutual support. Ashley shares her ingenious approach of receiving a weekly reflection form in her inbox, providing a structured yet personalized tool to kickstart her CEO Day with intention.
