It’s mid-year. Maybe you’re feeling behind, overwhelmed or quietly wondering if you’re really cut out for this. Let’s pause that thought.
What if the uncertainty you’re feeling isn’t a sign that you’re failing but actually a signal that you’re growing? At Stingray Advisory Group, my team and I work with powerhouse entrepreneurs who don’t always feel like powerhouses. What sets them apart isn’t more hustle; it’s their mindset.
If you’re craving clarity, confidence and a fresh reset heading into the second half of the year, here are four CEO-level mindset shifts that can change everything.
From Perfectionism to Progress
Raise your hand if you’ve held back from launching something because it “wasn’t ready yet.” The pursuit of perfect is one of the sneakiest success blockers. It stalls launches, silences great ideas and keeps your business smaller than it deserves to be. Here’s the truth: you don’t need to have it all figured out before you take the next step. Small progress leads to big momentum.
Action Accelerator: Choose one thing this week to release, post or publish, even if it’s "only" 80% ready. You’ll learn far more from doingthan you will from waiting.
From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust
Imposter syndrome doesn’t mean you’re unqualified. It actually means that you care. It shows up when you’re stretching yourself, stepping into new territory or elevating your offer. The trick isn’t to eliminate it. The trick is to move with it.
Start Building Reinforcements: Keep a folder of kind client feedback, successful moments or metrics that show your growth. Revisit it when your brain starts whispering, “Who do you think you are?”. Spoiler: You’re exactly the right person for this so don't be shy. Start putting your greatness out there today!
From Solopreneur to CEO
Being a CEO isn’t about having a corner office or a big team — it’s about thinking like a leader. That means focusing on vision, strategy and intentional growth, not doing everything yourself. If you’re spending more time in your business than on it, it might be time to zoom out.
Action Accelerator: Ask yourself, "What tasks can only I do?". Also think about where systems, support or delegation could help make space for bigger thinking. Just like in your personal life, remember, you weren’t meant to wear every hat, especially not forever.
From Isolation to Partnership
Many female founders operate like they have to prove they can do it alone (trust me, I get it). But here’s the truth: going solo doesn’t mean going without support. A fresh perspective, strategic partner or even the right community can be the catalyst that shifts everything. I’ve seen it happen time and time again, especially with clients who felt “stuck” and just needed a little clarity and accountability. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through growth. You can be supported and successful.
