Episode Synopsis
When Annie Clem (founder of the Restaurant “Annie’s Eats”) first connected with us, she was working 4 AM to midnight shifts, dealing with her son's cancer treatments, and sitting in tears in the corner of her restaurant. Today, she works just 20 hours a week, has lost 55 pounds, and runs a thriving restaurant business that gives her time for what matters most.In this powerful episode of Restaurant Growth Secrets, Annie shares her raw journey from burnout to breakthrough - revealing the exact systems and mindset shifts that transformed both her restaurant business and health.
