There are a million mantras out there for both established CEOs and budding CEOs. But to be a successful CEO, you need more than a mantra, you need a mindset. A CEO mindset isn’t about the size of your paycheck or even the size of your dreams, it’s how you handle the day to day. Let’s get real here, how confident are you that you have a CEO mindset?
