What would happen if you stepped away from your business for 30 days?

Would it continue to grow profitably, or would everything come to a halt? In this episode of the Say Yes To Profits® Podcast, Dr. Octavia Conner reveals the exact structure every CEO needs to build a business that thrives with or without them.

Discover how to create departments, assign leadership, and implement systems that eliminate bottlenecks and position your company for scalable success.

Why many CEOs unknowingly turn their business into a stressful job

The three core departments every company must have to scale profitably

How to assign ownership, document processes, and track performance

CEO tips for building leadership, cross-training, and automating effectively

A true business can operate without the CEO’s daily involvement.

Assigning clear ownership to Admin, Service Delivery, and Marketing ensures accountability and efficiency.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and KPIs are essential for growth and consistency.

Regular communication rhythms and decision-making frameworks empower leaders and prevent bottlenecks.

Scaling is about systems, people, and strategy, not doing everything yourself.

If your business cannot run for 30 days without you, you don’t own a business, you own a job.

Ask yourself:

Have I assigned department leaders?

Are my SOPs documented in writing and video?

Do we track metrics for every department?

Could my business run without me tomorrow?
