    WHY so many executives are becoming business owners

    Send us Fan Mail #entrepreneurship #franchisebusiness #puddlepools #podcast On the Built4Profit Podcast, hosts Sha and Elizabeth talk with Mark Amery of  ⁨@PuddlePoolServices⁩ about why his leadership team exited other home-service brands to focus on Puddle and expand from Canada into the U.S. and Australia.  Mark explains that roughly 98% of Puddle franchisees come from corporate or business ownership backgrounds because it’s an executive, scale-focused model, with territories based on 10,000 pools.

    Why so many business owners BURN OUT (And HOW to avoid it)

    Send us Fan Mail #burnout #burnoutprevention  On the #Built4ProfitPodcast powered by IQ4Profit, the hosts discuss business owner burnout, noting that over 52% of small business owners have experienced it. They distinguish burnout from simple tiredness, describing it as mental fatigue from constant decision-making, reduced excitement, and feeling reactionary. Rather than relying solely on a short-term fix like a two-week vacation, they emphasize building daily and weekly habits to prevent burnout: give yourself grace, celebrate wins by writing down past accomplishments, practice gratitude, take mental breaks that spark creativity, and prioritize physical self-care through sleep, healthy eating, movement, and even music to change your state.   👉 Subscribe to learn the playbooks, sharpen your strategy, and build the business (and life) you actually want.   Get to know The Profit Hub: http://www.iq4profit.com/
