    Welcome to another episode of Building a Business that Lasts! In today's episode, we have an insightful conversation with Jay Owen, a successful entrepreneur, about the challenges and triumphs of building an enduring business while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

    Join us as Jay shares his personal struggles with email addiction and the steps he takes to disconnect and trust his team while on vacation. We also delve into the importance of personal growth and self-care practices, such as meditation and gratitude, for entrepreneurs.

    Throughout the episode, Jay and our host, Emily Floyd, discuss the common challenge of facing imposter syndrome as successful business owners. They share their experiences of learning to overcome this by realizing that perfect communication is not always necessary and by seeking support from others.
    We also explore strategies for acquiring new business, the importance of persistence and learning from failures, and the difficulties of balancing client service with business development. Jay and Emily highlight the challenges of hiring and leading effective leaders, both internally and externally.

    Emily shares her own inspiring journey of transitioning from working in retail to running a successful pediatric medical billing business in Dallas. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's strengths, surrounding oneself with a supportive team, and achieving significant business milestones while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

    Stay tuned as we discuss the cultural belief that entrepreneurs must do everything themselves and the importance of delegating tasks, implementing standard operating procedures, and building a great management team aligned with the same vision.
