87. How to Recognize Burnout as a Growth Signal in Your VA or OBM Business with Quinn Tempest

In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I sit down with Quinn Tempest, a business and marketing strategist who helps solopreneurs build sustainable businesses aligned with their values and vision. Quinn shares her journey from the corporate world to running her own business serving purpose-driven entrepreneurs, and reveals powerful insights about recognizing burnout as a sign of growth rather than failure.

During our conversation, Quinn introduces the concept of two distinct types of burnout: the familiar exhaustion type and a deeper burnout that signals you've outgrown your current business system. She explains why so many service providers hit a wall despite working harder, and offers a refreshing perspective on how to view these challenges as opportunities for transformation rather than personal shortcomings.

If you're an online service provider feeling overwhelmed, resentful of client work, or sensing there's a different way to structure your business, this episode provides actionable strategies for creating a business model that truly reflects who you are and where you want to go.
