Listen here: https://lnkd.in/exGir7CV Your business shouldn’t live only in your head anymore. If the way you do things only exists in your brain, your business can’t scale, can’t rest, and can’t run without you. That’s why writing things down matters. Your processes. Your day-to-day decisions. The things you do automatically that no one else sees. Standard Operating Procedures aren’t about control. They’re about clarity for your team, for your future self, for the version of your business that keeps moving even when you step away. In episode 144 of the MaYapinion® podcast, we talk about why documenting your process is a leadership move, and how it’s often the first real sign you’re stepping into CEO mode.

“If you treat leadership like a job, you’ll behave like an employee. If you treat it like ownership, your decisions change completely.” In this episode of the Joy of Performing Podcast, Sanjiv Mital gets real about one of the toughest founder decisions stepping into a business not as a hired hand, but as an entrepreneur with skin in the game. From choosing the right organisation to navigating founder exits, he explains why these transitions only work when leaders invest, take ownership, and build with long-term intent not just operate. Decisions That Matter: Inside a Founder’s Real Journey Full conversation coming soon. #FounderJourney #EntrepreneurMindset #LeadershipDecisions #SkinInTheGame #JoyOfPerforming
