141 | 3 CEO Lists Every Entrepreneur Needs to Stay Focused

If you’ve ever ended the day staring at an endless to-do list and still felt like you were falling behind, this episode is for you. For years, I was addicted to long, overwhelming lists that made me feel busy but didn’t move me forward. It wasn’t until I discovered three specific “CEO lists” that everything shifted—my focus, my time, and my confidence.

In this conversation, I’m walking you through the Big Three, the Vision List, and the Done List—how they work, how they fit together, and how they’ll change the way you approach your business (and your life). No fancy planners, no special pens—just simple, practical tools that give you clarity, momentum, and a much-needed confidence boost.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re working non-stop but never making progress, these three lists will help you finally focus on what matters, keep your big dreams in sight, and celebrate what you’ve already achieved.

In This Episode, I Talk About

• Why most traditional to-do lists actually keep you stuck
• How to use the Big Three list to define daily non-negotiables
• The power of the Vision List to align today’s decisions with your future
• Why keeping a Done List boosts confidence and quiets the “I’m not doing enough” voice
• A simple way to start this practice tonight and keep it going
