Everything changed for Chris at the end of 2009, when he suffered a horrific burnout. He was living like most entrepreneurs, working 14-hour days, six days a week, spending very little time with his family and working ‘in’ his business, instead of ‘on’ it way too much. He loved his business and the focus of building it, but Chris was tired. In every possible way.
Going into 2010, Chris put a 1-year goal in place – to become a Virtual CEO, and replace himself in his business as much as possible by the end of the year. By late November 2010, he achieved the goal. Not only that, but Chris launched another business in the middle of that year, Virtual Staff Finder, as a result of simply listening to his online audience.
Chris now works an average of 6-hours a day, his workweek no longer includes Friday and he gets to spend lots of time with his wife and three awesome children.
