In this episode of Startup Survival, we talk about the not-so-glamorous role of CEO. Yes, there are awesome benefits to being your own boss, but it also comes with a ton of hard work and an incredible load to carry. 

While being a CEO means you’re “the boss,” most of my tips are about surrounding yourself with the right people. Your staff, your network, your mentors, your coach (trust me, everyone needs a business coach!) can make or break your success. Whoever it is, what’s important is knowing when to ask for help, and not being too proud to do so.

At the end of the episode, we’ll talk about the cold, hard truth about being an entrepreneur: it gets easier, but it never gets easy. Building a company is always hard work—and that’s what makes it so rewarding.
