E272 Growing Pains: Lessons from a Multi-Location Owner with Diane Branco

What if the biggest thing holding your business back is your own fear of growth? In this episode of the podcast, Brian Duprey sits down with successful multi-location child care owner Diane to discuss her journey from a single center owner with a "perfect little world" to leading multiple thriving locations. Listen in as Diane shares the mindset shifts, leadership lessons, and hard truths that helped her overcome fear, embrace growth, and expand her business in ways she once thought were impossible.   Tune in to hear an honest conversation about letting go of control, building strong leadership teams, creating accountability, and learning to trust others with your vision. Diane opens up about the challenges she faced, the mistakes she made along the way, and how self-reflection became one of the most powerful tools in her growth as a business owner. Brian and Diane also discuss why the second location is often the hardest, how systems and implementation work together, and why mindset remains the foundation for sustainable success.   Join us as Diane offers encouragement and practical advice for child care owners who dream of expanding but feel stuck by fear, uncertainty, or self-doubt. Whether you're considering your second location or looking for ways to strengthen your leadership and operations, this inspiring conversation is filled with valuable insights that will challenge you to think bigger, take action, and move closer to your goals.   Mentioned in this episode: GET TICKETS to the Child Care Genius LEVERAGE Conference:  https://childcaregenius.com/leverage    Need help with your child care marketing?
