25. Building a Business You Actually Want to Run

If your business only works when you’re doing everything, or you’ve quietly started to wonder, “Did I build myself a job I can’t quit?”  - this episode is for you.

In this personal and practical conversation, Fiona shares what it really looks like to shift from being a busy, reactive business owner… to becoming a calm, intentional CEO - without the corporate buzzwords, and without needing a team of 20.

This isn’t about titles. It’s about ownership, vision, and creating a business that’s sustainable, human, and deeply aligned with how you want to live and lead.

🧭 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The difference between “business owner” and “CEO” (and why it matters)

• What the CEO role actually looks like in a small conveyancing business

• The mindset shift that helped Fiona go from overwhelmed to intentional

• Why defining your own version of leadership changes everything

• How to start building a business that supports you (instead of draining you)

• Practical steps to start leading - even if it’s still just you at the desk

💬 Key Quote:

“The shift isn’t about the title - it’s about the mindset, the intention, and the permission to design a business that actually works for you.”
