Do you want to grow your business without feeling overwhelmed and overworked? Breanne Dyck is the co-founder of the Visionary CEO Academy, visionaryceoacademy.com. She helps coaches, agency owners, and consultants who are overwhelmed and burning out because they've hit maximum capacity. In this episode, Breanne talks about how to grow your business even if it’s at its maximum without feeling overwhelmed. She also shares tips on how to avoid feeling burned out when it comes to handling your business using her instant scale assessment. Check out these episode highlights: 1:11 - Breanne’s ideal client: “When I think about the perfect client, I think about this woman we worked with named Amy, who is a Facebook ads agency owner. She came to us and she said, every time she would get an email from a new client, she would say, "Oh God, I don't know if I can handle another client." She knew how to market, she knew how to sell, but she was completely overwhelmed and maxed out. So that's who we help best, people like Amy. Whether they got an agency or they're selling courses or programs, we help them to get out of the day to day so they can grow their business without the overwhelm.” 1:49 - Problem Breanne helps solve: “Well, I think it's really important to figure out what burnout looks like and how it shows up because it's not always obvious if you're dealing with this problem.

And in our business, we have a concept that we call uncontaminated time. Now uncontaminated time is time that you spend not working on or in the business. So that's concept number one, when did you actually take a vacation that gave you uncontaminated time?

And so often we jump into automating, you know, a new funnel, or building out some new marketing, even though they're super busy with clients. It's like, we have this story that, you know, oh, it's going to dry up. And of course, go on Facebook and those are the ads you're going to see, right, is you have to automate your marketing, get your funnel set up, and yadda, yadda, right?” 5:57 - Breanne’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “Well, I'm going to make a couple of maybe bold, not so bold, assumptions about the folks who are listening. The first assumption is that they've got a busines...
