CEOs and FOunders

I Have Been Where You Are

“Being CEO may be a lonely life. But isolating yourself and your problems is a choice.”
— Byron Morrison

  • Handling growth and change – Things move so fast you’re constantly catching your breath. Your team’s direction feels wobbly, and those core values you started with? They’re getting blurry. Keeping steady while everything shifts around you is a daily wrestle.
  • Leading in tough times – Leadership gets brutal when everything’s in flux. Staying authentic, keeping spirits up, and charting a course through choppy waters – it’s emotionally and mentally exhausting.
  • Deciding with limited info – Choices come thick and fast, but information is patchy. You’re often guessing, making calls with more gut feeling than solid data. The uncertainty gnaws at you, especially when big stakes are involved.
  • Finding the right people – Recruitment feels like hunting for unicorns. Everyone’s chasing the same talented people, and finding someone who clicks with your team’s rhythm is ridiculously hard. Good people are scarce, and keeping them? Even trickier.
  • Keeping company culture – As your business grows, that special magic starts to thin out. The shared spirit that once defined everything begins to fragment. What worked when you were small doesn’t quite stretch to fit the new reality.
  • Satisfying stakeholders – Everyone wants something different. Investors eye the numbers, the board wants strategy, staff seek direction. Trying to keep all these voices happy feels like juggling while walking a tightrope.
  • Encouraging new ideas – Innovation sounds great in theory. But day-to-day, with endless tasks and tight schedules, creativity gets squeezed. Keeping that spark of originality alive becomes a constant, draining challenge.
  • Too many tasks – Tasks multiply faster than you can tick them off. Support helps, but the mental load is crushing. You’re drowning in to-dos, trying to look calm while paddling furiously underneath.
  • Feeling the stress – Your business isn’t just work – it’s personal. The weight of potential failure looms large. Investors, family, your own reputation – everything feels like it’s hanging in the balance.
  • Balancing life’s pull – Work bleeds into everything. Family time, personal space, rest – all get squeezed. You’re constantly torn, feeling guilty about what you’re not doing, wherever you are.
