233 | I Don’t Feel Like a Real CEO

Robyn Clark
About this episode

Do you ever catch yourself saying, “I just make jewelry on the side”? Or maybe you’ve hit incredible milestones (six figures, sold-out launches) yet deep down, you still feel like an imposter? You’re not alone, and you’re not behind. In this episode of Momentum Monday, I’m sharing what it really takes to embody the CEO identity in your jewelry business.

I’ll walk you through why waiting for a title or milestone keeps you stuck, and how to step into your CEO role starting today. You’ll learn three practical shifts that will help you lead with vision instead of fear, speak with confidence about what you do, and build the sustainable, profitable brand you know you’re capable of.

It’s time to stop winging it, stop downplaying your brilliance, and start building with the mindset of a true CEO.

 

 

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

  1. Why waiting for milestones won’t make you feel like a CEO
  2. The mindset shift every jewelry business owner must make
  3. 3 practical ways to embody your CEO identity today
  4. How identity shapes behavior and drives results in your business

 

Topics Discussed:

  • The identity gap holding jewelry designers back
  • Vision-based decision-making vs. fear-based decisions
  • The power of a “CEO hour”
  • Speaking about your business with authority
  • Building sustainable growth through mindset shifts
