Ryann Blake - When to Say No

Even before the COVID-19 crisis, our industry was fighting a culture of burnout... Phone calls are always coming in, emails never stop, and customer expectations are higher than they've ever been. Combine that with the guilt of seeing people who "hustle" on social media and it's easy to feel totally spent. In today's conversation, Tim Reed sits down with Ryann Blake (Owner of Chimney Techniques) to talk about how to fight burnout for yourself and your team members in today's culture. In this conversation, you'll learn:   How to set up boundaries for yourself to protect against burnout (this is something that everyone needs to do)   What you need to be pouring into your team for them to stay engaged (it's easy to put this off if you're not careful)   Why it's more important than ever to find community to support you (most people that flame out miss this)   Don't go another day thinking that pushing harder will solve your problems. Rather, build a framework that gives you life, set your team members up to win, and create a business thats a joy to come to every day.
