How to design a business that supports the life you want to lead, with Amy Pocsik

Many entrepreneurs start their businesses to create a better life for themselves, their families, and their community. But the reality is that as a business grows, so does your involvement in it. There are literally hundreds of things to do and decisions to make!

Pretty soon, you're drowning in work; it's consuming all your time, effort, and energy - not to mention resources. And your initial goal of starting a business is to have the freedom to spend quality time doing what you love to do and living your best life gets lost in the chaos.

In this episode of Help! My Business Is Growing, our guest Amy Pocsik shares what you should do - and not do - when building a business that will help you achieve all your dreams and live your best life today.

Amy, a business coach, and CEO, gives valuable insights on the importance of taking the time to rest and giving yourself space to breathe while immersed in the work and how you can make growing your business easy and fun.
