The Bright Balloon

241. Back to the basics


Listen Later

I've felt my business grow over the past couple of years, but there have also been some life changes that kind of made things feel a little out of whack. So in this episode, I share how I'm trimming the "fluff" and tuning up my business by going back to the basics!

This process is actually inspired by my previous time as a 6th grade art teacher. So much of what we would cover was foundational principles. And I always found that without them, troubleshooting becomes much more difficult. So, I took this mindset and applied it to my garlands, framework, clutter, inventory, product offerings and finances.

In some cases, I had introduced too many variables to the task. In others, I just didn't even notice the buildup. And in one scenario, the changes were a little bit out of my control. Listen in to hear what changes I made to my recipes and offerings, the bags I use at install, what I've committed to never using again, some good advice I got about retraining and my next step in this process.

So far, I now have less clutter, more efficiency, better consistency and more reliable profit margins. Plus, another resource for you!
