143. Overcoming Overwhelm and Cultivating Confidence with Ashley Corthell

<p>What if I told you that you didn't have to be at your center 40+ hours a week?</p><p>Would you believe me?</p><p>The reality for a lot of owners is that the line between home and school is so blurred it's almost nonexistent. They spend so much of their time wrapped up in the day-to-day operation of their centers that they end up spending more time there than they do at home with their families.</p><p>This was the case for Ashley Corthell, owner of Daybreak Academy in Utah. When I first connected with her, she was spending 45+ hours per week at her school. During the few hours she <em>was</em> at home, she was too stressed to truly be present.</p><p>In Ashley's words, school was sucking the life out of her.</p><p>But all of that changed when she joined the Schools of Excellence Owner's HQ membership program. Inside the membership, Ashley built skills and gained access to resources and coaching that helped her adjust her mindset, better manage her time, and transform her school's culture.</p><p>With the support of other owners, she learned to use her hours at school more productively and set healthier boundaries, which made her more intentional about how and where she was spending her time.&nbsp;</p><p>As a result, not only did the line between school and home become better defined, but Ashley was able to reduce the number of hours she spent at her center to just <em>10 hours per week</em>!</p><p>And Ashley isn't the exception either. She's one of hundreds of owners and directors who have transformed their schools—and lives—thanks to the opportunities available in the membership.</p><p>So, when I asked you whether you thought it was possible to spend less than 40 hours per week at your center, it wasn't hyperbole. It was a question based on the very <em>real</em> experiences of leaders just like you.</p><p>If you're ready to start spending less time running your center and more time focused on its growth and development, I encourage you to check out this week's podcast episode.
