## Resource

Priya built her agency to escape the nine-to-five, but somewhere along the way, the business started running her instead. She's taking on every client that comes her way, terrified that saying no will kill her momentum. Preston, Sabrina, and Jesse P. Gilmore unpack the five-step framework for reclaiming time, documenting your work, and pricing based on value instead of hours—plus why getting selective about clients is what actually lets an agency grow. This episode is a wake-up call for any founder who's traded one kind of burnout for another.
