Everyone tells you strategies for growing your business… what they don’t tell you is how to survive the late nights, the weight of responsibility, and the moments when you wonder if you’re in over your head. This session offers an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to scale without losing yourself. You’ll learn how to overcome burnout, break through mental traps, and build a business that fuels your life... not one that runs it. I’ll also share the game-changing shifts that helped me grow a multi-million, multi-state home care agency and step back without losing everything I built. If you're scaling fast (or want to), this session is your mental survival kit.
