As a CEO or owner, "How do you _____?" "Who keeps you accountable?" Who helps you answer those types of questions? Is it even the right question to ask?As a CEO or business owner, it can be lonely at the top. Many leaders feel trapped in their businesses.That was me as Applied Educational Systems, Inc.'s founder and CEO until I found Vistage in 2003.From being a Vistage Member for twenty years, I know that Vistage is where you go to change the trajectory of your business and your life.When CEOs take the courage to step out, meet obstacles and opportunities head-on, and have difficult — but honest conversations with peers, they emerge and lead more confidently, often experiencing life change through better decisions.I founded my company at age 25 and eventually built and scaled to become a 5x Inc 5000 honoree. I experienced incredible ups and downs. Fortified with 36 years of business wins, losses, and draws and these reflections — I have come full circle.CEOs who are Vistage peer advisory board members grow their businesses 3x faster than other companies. There is a reason for that.
