From Overworked Operator to Strategic CEO: Meet the Architect of the CEO Switch

You are here (on this website) for a reason.

You’re done spinning your wheels, trying to grow your business while staying stuck in the trenches. You want to break free from the never-ending cycle of doing it all, and you’re looking for a smarter way to scale.

You’re ready to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), streamline your backend, and build a business that works even when you don’t. And that’s exactly why I created the CEO Switch Framework—to help solopreneurs like you shift from constantly working in your business to running it like a true CEO.

I’m Carin Kilby Clark, a Business Coach, creator of the CEO Switch Framework, and co-founder of Mixed Media Pros. I help solopreneurs escape the burnout cycle, implement repeatable systems, and create scalable service models that free up their time while increasing their income.

If you’re ready to turn your expertise into a business that operates smoothly and sustainably, you’re in the right place.

my story

My journey started when I became a mother and wife at just 17 years old. By 27, I was a divorced single mom of three, trying to figure out what came next.

I was stuck in survival mode, constantly overwhelmed and feeling like there had to be a better way. That’s when I dove headfirst into personal and professional growth. I devoured books on high performance, systems, and success habits. I attended seminars, listened to experts, and tested every strategy under the sun.

Then, I had a breakthrough: If I created the life I was struggling in, I had the power to create a better one.

So, I did. I built a career, earned multiple degrees, and designed a business that runs without me needing to be hands-on 24/7. Now, I help solopreneurs do the same—without the years of trial and error.

Fast forward to today, and I’m running a streamlined, profitable business that supports my lifestyle, not the other way around. And my mission is to show you how to do it, too.

what this means to you

You don’t have to choose between making an impact and having a life.

You don’t have to be buried in busy work just to keep your business afloat.
