The Visionary Files
Do you ever hear about a business having wild success or achieving *the coolest* result and think, "how the eff did they do that?" Yeah… us, too! That’s why we created The Visionary Files™ podcast (relaunching October 2024)! We publish weekly case study-style episodes to ask successful biz owners all of our (and probably your) burning questions so we can dig deep into the strategies, tactics, mindset, and metrics behind what worked and what didn’t.

Fill In Your CEO Blindspots by Bringing on the Right COO or Business Partner with Jessica Terzakis: Visionary / Integrator Series 2 of 3
Jessica Terzakis – the ‘Integrator’ half of the dynamic mother+daughter duo that run Terzakis and Associates – jumps into the conversation today about how she was able to shed her W2 mentality as a master-educated high-school teacher and fully embrace her new COO identity in all things entrepreneurship.
Jessica details her beginnings as task-master extraordinaire to where she is now, performing as a bonafide business strategist responsible for creating new revenue opportunities and growing their brand.
If you’ve ever wondered exactly how your business could be transformed by bringing on a COO or business partner (or maybe you’re just curious as to what it’s really like to work with your mother) – then this is the episode for you!
Quick overview of what we cover:
- Why “You can do whatever you want with your time!” was initially too much freedom for Jessica’s W2 trained employee-brain (and how long it took her to shed that mindset)
- The meaning behind why she started calling her mom ‘Susan’
- The lightbulb moment Jessica had when her mom casually remarked, “You sure ask a lot of questions”
- How Jessica was able to put her love of learning design to use to help explore new revenue opportunities
- How they use the Kolbe-A assessment and the Unique Brilliance Quadrant to help mentor both their team and their business clients
- Why learning how to present your ideas and opportunities to your COO is just as important as the idea itself to get it off the ground
- Which kinds of mother/daughter business duos work in Jessica’s opinion (and which don’t!)
- How long it took her to find bottlenecks in the business and create the plans that broke through them
- Why sustainability in business can’t come at the cost of your sanity and happiness
