How do I learn to act, think, and carry myself as a CEO?
In the next year, I will be setting up my own business as a freelance business writer. I will be a one person operation and will be functioning both as management and personnel. I view myself as a quiet and competent professional. But now I will need to learn to think and act as a CEO, especially since I will now have to attract customers. In the companies that I have worked for, I noticed that the CEO's thought, acted and carried themselves in what seemed to me to be a certain way. They were obviously leaders, but there was also something in the way that the behaved that set them apart. I would like to know what that is and how someone would acquire those skills that I observed in CEO's. Thank you for taking the time to read my question and I look forward to reading your responses.

You are a business of one. There are many failed businesses of one because they acted like they were hot ****, when they were actually a business of one. You're not a CEO. You have no executives, no employees, just you. Just understand your core value proposition and sell that.

There is no one way to act as a CEO and since you have no employees it really doesn't matter. You are not "leading" anyone and your product is going to do the talking for you. If you come off as unnatural, you'll be back working in corporate America anyway.
