Imagine owning a thriving business but feeling like you're constantly on the verge of burnout. Sound familiar? If so, you are not alone. That's exactly what happened to Buck from Integrity Inspection Service in Knoxville, Tennessee. He shares his compelling story of transitioning from a stressed-out home inspector to a more balanced one. Buck opens up about how refusing weekend work became a pivotal decision in reclaiming his mental well-being and preserving his personal life.

Ever wondered how to protect your time without losing clients? We explore innovative ways to manage client interactions, drawing parallels between home inspections and other industries.

We talk about the fear of losing business by not being always available and how tools like virtual assistants or scheduling apps can be game-changers. Buck also highlights the significance of aligning personal and professional values, ensuring that success doesn't come at the cost of family and health.
