What helps you become a CEO? Start by asking questions.
In the past, my thoughts were often stuck in small, daily things like:
“Is there any drama on Facebook today?”
“Did anyone like my story?”
“Did my crush drop any hints?”
“Is anyone asking me out today?”
“Does my best friend have new stories to tell me?”
Looking back, I can’t help but laugh at myself. None of these thoughts really helped me grow, yet they always gave me that emotional, butterfly-in-the-stomach feeling.
Everything started to change when I entered a phase of “I don’t even know who I am.”
And that’s when I began searching for real answers.
I don’t know if I will become a CEO one day.
But I started thinking seriously about how to build the mindset and skills that could lead me to success, beginning with these questions:
What kind of person do I want to become?
What am I capable of building or achieving?
What do I truly care about within myself?
What problems do I notice in society?
Do I want to change the world in my own way?
What do I want to build, and how can I start?
What do I need to do to become the person I want to be?
I believe that if you keep asking yourself:
What is the problem? Why does it matter to me? And how can I solve it?
you are already acting like a CEO, because you are taking ownership of your life and your actions.
I think every successful CEO today also started with very simple and basic questions.
But they kept going, and eventually built great companies and amazing teams.
Wishing all of us one day become CEOs, not just of companies, but of our own lives and the “empires” we choose to build.
Do you have any other advice? I’d really welcome everyone’s thoughts here.
