Ep.75 How to Be a REAL CEO in Your Amazon Business Part 12 - Be accountable and hold others accountable

Welcome to the Sprint to Profit Podcast for Amazon Sellers. Today we are continuing our series on becoming a REAL CEO by being more accountable to your business and we will discuss how you can grow your business the right way to have accountability built into it from the start.

To not only be a CEO but a true leader in your business, you really have to have an Extreme Ownership Mindset and actions. For us that’s about owning everything 100%, and is a concept that was put into a book by Jocko Willink. For about 99.9% of all issues, there is a solution, and they have the control to create that solution. If we as entrepreneurs and CEOs don’t take 100% responsibility and hold ourselves and our team accountable for the ups and downs in the business, then our businesses will be far less likely to grow in a sustainable way.

So, today we are going to talk about how you can take on Extreme Ownership and own everything in your business (not JUST the things you’re responsible for).
