You didn’t start your business to feel trapped by it. But somewhere along the way, the passion that once lit you up got buried under the endless to-do lists, late nights, and the pressure to keep up with everyone else’s version of success.
It’s time to change that.
Welcome to @The Simplified CEO – the podcast for ambitious, service-based business owners who are ready to strip away the overwhelm, simplify their strategy, and build a business (and life) they actually love again.
Hosted by Claire Bartlett, award-winning business mentor, speaker, and creator of the R.E.S.E.T.™ Framework, each episode feels like a heart-to-heart with a friend who gets it. Expect raw truth, simple strategies, and the mindset shifts that will help you reignite your energy, find clarity, and grow a profitable business without burning out.
If you’re tired of overcomplicating your growth, second-guessing every decision, and wondering if you should just “burn it all down,” this is your safe space to reset, rebuild, and rise.
So get comfy, hit follow, grab your coffee, and let’s simplify your way to success.

What Is A Simplified CEO Mindset and How You Can Have It Too - 061
What a Simplified CEO Mindset Actually Means (and How to Build It)
This week I’m walking you through the Simplified CEO mindset - what it is, how it helped me claw back time without sacrificing profit, and the small but powerful mindset shifts you can make today to do the same.
I break down the real difference between a business owner who’s constantly reacting (even if they’re successful) and a CEO who’s intentionally designing their time, energy, and income. I also share how I accidentally built a 6-figure business, ended up with 7 staff members, and realised I was stuck in a job I created for myself - working more hours than I ever intended.
Here’s what I cover:
The mindset shift that took me from “hustling founder” to “intentional CEO”
Why I ditched hustle culture for strategic simplicity (without losing revenue)
My exact reset framework to reduce working hours while keeping income steady
How to stop doing £10 tasks and focus on £1,000 tasks
A better way to think about work-life balance (I call it intentional integration)
Why being “busy” isn’t the same as being profitable
The productivity trap that’s keeping most entrepreneurs overwhelmed
How to evaluate every task and product in your business for ROI and alignment
The real definition of wealth (and why it’s not just about money)
Why clarity eliminates decision fatigue
This isn’t about passive income or chasing millions. It’s about building a business that serves your life - not the other way around.
If you’re building a business for more freedom, flexibility, and presence (but feel like you’ve accidentally created a guilded cage), this episode is your wake-up call.
