677: What Scaling to 260 Deals Taught Her About Burning Out—and Owning Her Business - Joline Cloutier


Listen Later

What happens when you scale fast—but realize the business you’ve built no longer fits your life?

Joline Cloutier went from helping her husband with files part-time to funding 260 deals a year—just the two of them. But after burnout, a move to the cottage, and taking over the business solo, she knew something had to change.

In this episode, Joline shares how she’s rebuilding her business with better systems, a podcast, and more intention. If you're feeling the weight of growth without clarity, this episode will help you reset.

We’ll cover:

  • Scaling Without Staff – How she and her husband handled 260 files a year—just the two of them.
  • Burnout and Breaking Points – The cottage move that made her rethink how she wanted to work.
  • Podcast as a Platform – Why she launched a podcast and how it helped her connect and convert.
  • System Rebuild – Tools like Finmo, Gmail tags, and MyBrokerPro that support her new workflow.
  • Content Without Pressure – Why she rarely posts about mortgages—and still gets referrals.
  • You can grow fast—but make sure you’re growing in the right direction. Joline’s story is proof that stepping back can be the first step forward.
