Welcome back to CEO School! In this solo episode, Suneera tells the story of the day the business crossed eight figures. She thought she'd feel unstoppable, but instead, she felt trapped. She was the founder who built the whole thing, walking in every morning to firefight for 400 people and realizing she'd become the reason it couldn't grow. And she learned it the hard way: the skills that get you to a million are not the skills that get you to ten.
This is the operating system she used to scale Stax to a billion dollars and CEO School right alongside it: her 6P framework for going from founder to CEO. Power, product, pitch, people, profit, process. Six systems, each one a skill you can learn, and your business only ever grows as far as your weakest one. If you're capped, doing all the work, and more hustle keeps landing you back where you started, consider this your personal playbook. Grab a pen and let's go!
