This is my community review of Like a CEO.
" I have shifted my identity into a business owner."
I joined Like a CEO for two reasons.
First, Angie Perry is my friend, and I had been in a previous group with her. I genuinely enjoy her vibe and the way she leads. Second, once I realized how many businesses she had successfully built, I understood why she was creating this space. She saw a real gap in the market — brand new entrepreneurs who need to set up their business like a CEO, not like a hobby.
That distinction mattered to me.
I’ve had hobby businesses before. I call them hobbies because I didn’t treat them like real businesses. Even when I started taking one more seriously, I was running blind. I didn’t know how to structure the back end so it actually felt like, looked like, and performed like a real business. Separate bank accounts. Separate EIN. Clear structure. Real systems.
I knew this new business is going to take off — and I needed real structure behind it. That’s why I joined.
Inside the community, Angie consistently posts thought-provoking questions. They’re not surface-level. Some of them are the kind you have to chew on all day. I’ve told her before that sometimes I don’t respond right away because I’m actually processing what she asked. The questions force you to think about where your business fits, how it’s structured, and where it’s going.
She has courses in the classroom that guide you through that structure, and the Friday morning calls are always powerful. Some weeks are check-ins. Other weeks have a focused agenda. I’ve never left one of her calls feeling like I wasted my time.
The only thing I would personally love more of is added accountability inside the community thread. The Friday calls create momentum, but if you don’t attend live, you can miss that push. I would love to see more follow-up threads during the week asking where we are on our goals. As solopreneurs, we don’t always have someone calling us out — and sometimes we need that.
What I deeply appreciate is that when Angie tags you, it’s intentional. It’s not for visibility. It’s because she genuinely wants your input or knows something will help you grow. I can’t always be in the community as much as I’d like, so when she tags me, I know it matters.
Since joining, the biggest shift has been my identity.
I’m not fully in “CEO vibes” yet, but I no longer see this as a side project. I see it as a business that is going to grow. I used to struggle thinking long-term ~ five years, ten years. Inside this community, I’ve started thinking that way because Angie thinks that way. That long-term vision has shifted how I make decisions.
My clarity and confidence have grown. My mindset has shifted. I understand that my words matter, my decisions matter, and how I build today impacts where I’m headed long term.
The Friday calls have also supported my mindset. There have been days I showed up spiraling, and just talking it out — or having other business owners remind me who I am — helped me reset. As a solopreneur, that reminder that you’re not alone is powerful. My stress hasn’t magically disappeared, but knowing I can ask questions and get real feedback from other business owners in the trenches feels healthy.
Before joining, know this: your life is about to change.
There is a lot available to you. It’s self-paced. The classroom resources are extensive. You don’t need handholding, but you do need to be serious. This is not for someone treating their business like a hobby. The people inside are serious solopreneurs building real businesses from their passion and purpose.
If you’re just here to play, this probably isn’t your space.
If you’re ready to step into ownership and structure your business like it actually matters, this is where that shift begins.
