In this high-impact episode of The Dr. Des Show, Dr. Des dives deep into one of the most important transitions for public health entrepreneurs—the shift from founder to CEO. If you're feeling overwhelmed, juggling every role, and chasing every opportunity, this episode is for you.

Dr. Des outlines key mindset and operational changes you must make to sustainably grow your business, reclaim your time, and lead with clarity. She shares the lessons she’s applied in her own business and breaks down the exact strategies, systems, and structure needed to elevate from day-to-day hustle to CEO-level strategy.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize when you're stuck in founder mode (and why it leads to burnout)
• Schedule a consistent “CEO Day” to focus on high-level growth
• Build infrastructure: systems, automation, and client management tools
• Delegate with confidence by knowing “enough to be dangerous”
• Market your business daily (because posting once a week won’t cut it)
• Set up visibility and lead generation strategies through LinkedIn and beyond
• Protect your time while scaling using tools like ChatGPT, Honeybook, and OpusClip
• Think about ROI when hiring contractors or building a team
• Anchor your business around a signature offer to attract ideal clients
• Make strategic, not scarcity-based, decisions
