Fight, Flight, or CEO Mode?

How Your Nervous System is Running Your Business (and What To Do About It)

As entrepreneurs, we love to say we’re “grinding,” “locked in,” or “in hustle mode.”

But there’s a difference between leading like a CEO and operating in survival mode.

Fight vs. Flight in Business

CEO Mode = Regulated Leadership

A regulated nervous system makes strategic decisions, not emotional reactions.

✅ Plans instead of panics

✅ Delegates instead of detonates

✅ Responds instead of reacts
