Bulletproof Business Podcast

Author: Simone Janssen

Welcome to the Bulletproof Startups Podcast, where we help business owners and CEOs become conscious leaders and build a power team so they can let go, get strategic, and know they are adding the most value possible to their company every single day. I am your host, Simone Janssen, and this podcast is about one thing only, becoming the real CEO of your business by building leveraged teams. You've built a great product or service, but although you have a team you are still in everything. Your time is spent in the weeds, and you are leaving money and opportunity on the table because you don't know how to establish clarity, shift responsibility, and create accountability. If you want to know how to change that, you are in the right place. All this information is 100% free, so please subscribe to and review our podcast.

E146 - EPISODE 1 — The Year-End Wake-Up Call: Turning December Into the Start of Your CEO Era
Episode 146
Monday, 1 December, 2025

EPISODE 1 — The Year-End Wake-Up Call: Turning December Into the Start of Your CEO Era (Part 1 of The Q5 CEO Reset Series) Most business owners treat December as a throwaway month—coasting, collapsing, or just surviving until the calendar flips. But December can be the start of something far more powerful. In this opening episode of The Q5 CEO Reset Series, Simone reveals why this month is the perfect time to step back, see clearly, and begin building the business (and the identity) you actually want in 2026. This episode challenges the lie that you're stuck because you lack time or talent—you're stuck because you're stuck in practices. When you stop reacting and start leading, December becomes the launchpad for your CEO era. Key Takeaways Why most entrepreneurs coast through December—and how that guarantees another year of burnout. How "I'll fix it in January" thinking locks you into operator mode. The simple mindset shift that turns December from a finish line into a beginning. What to reflect on now so you can finally stop firefighting in 2026. How to use downtime to design clarity, leadership systems, and focus instead of chaos. A first look at "Q5"—the hidden fifth quarter where smart CEOs reset their identity and operating system. If you're ready to stop firefighting and start leading, now's the time to join the new and improved AI Business Scaling Blueprint—complete with weekly live Q&A support and a private community to keep you implementing.
