At the end of the day you have to produce. Im a digital marketing consultant and run my own shit. I can make a thousand posts on facebook about the importance of having social media or talk about how PPC campaigns will boost their business profits, but if you don't have the proof to back it up, your clients will see the BS.

You should probably try to be a good manager of some sort at any store any store you can be a franchise owner and just have some really good ideas

A lot of bullshit and a lot of luck. I know an ex drug dealer that got out of prison of 7 years, married a lawyer, and bullshit his way into a General Manager position of a large transport company. Nobody was above him but the owner so he was sort of a CEO. He made $500K-$2M a year. Back before he went to prison, he had a roofing company that I worked for when I was 18-19. He's a pretty cool dude. Sent an escort to my house for my birthday last January. Finally lost my virginity.

You have to be a visionary that is able to understand big picture operations. Usually people don't just walk into it unless they first study a lot of philosophy, psychology, ethics, politics, economics, and a bunch of other topics. You have to be an avid reader. If you don't have a few books lined up to read this week then you're already behind.

have you ever met a CEO? obviously not you cuck

you have to have a personality that completely dominates people and bends them to your will while being perceived as a top tier genius

>The gig is basically a well paid "idea's guy" isn't it?

lel no it's not like that at all. You have to know how pretty much every aspect of the business is run. You have to know how to read every single financial statement and you have to make massive informed decisions that can literally bankrupt a company or cause it to grow.

CEO and Consultant are worlds apart as I understand it.
CEOs are all about leadership, intrapersonal skills, and strategy and a whole looooot of negotiating and balancing people.

Consultants need to understand all that shit, but they're not leaders, they basically need to come into a place, see what's working and what's not -- and quickly be able to explain it. And problem solve, that's a huge one.

Neither are "ideas" guys. Even if they don't do grunt work.

Curious about this.
So do you get clients based on statistics, showing case studies and raw numbers and metrics?

ITT: People who have no idea what a CEO does

This is my personal plan for becoming a CEO. I work in the housing sector in the UK. Currently studying ACCA.

First gain much experience. Pay attention to everything. Learn how to do my manager's job and the job of every other manager. Network and charm. Get a management position at a smaller organisation. Shake up that organisation and kick it into overdrive. Get a management position at a larger organisation. Start making changes in the local community, getting houses built, creating jobs. More networking. Become CEO at a smaller organisation.

Then some other stuff I haven't figured out yet...

Then I solve the housing crisis. What do you think?
