11/15/18 • 19 min
In this Bosses & Bourbon minisode, I am sharing my how-to process of creating a plan for your small business for the year ahead. I use this 5-part process for my wedding & event clients as well as my own business to create a more intentional business and life. From reviewing the past year, checking in and adjusting to set goals for the next year as well as determining an accountability, this process keeps me and my clients on track and intentional about the year ahead in their marketing, business growth and success.

#09 Side Hustles and Girl Bosses | Claire White of White Ink Calligraphy
For today’s episode, I chatted with Claire White, founder and owner of White Ink Calligraphy. White Ink Calligraphy provides custom calligraphy for events, weddings, and personal projects. Claire built White Ink Calligraphy from the ground up, starting on social media (one of the many topics we dug into). She also teaches calligraphy classes and oh yeah, she has a full-time gig as a lawyer (#sidehustlegoals). As a relatively new business owner, Claire shared how she built her business around a creative passion while balancing a full-time gig as well as how she uses social media to connect with her clients and grow her business. We dug into some big topics,too - privilege, capitalism, the patriarchy - but it was Claire’s perspective on #girlboss that was eye-opening for me so be sure to listen for that. Lots of meaty stuff in this episode and I really appreciated Claire’s fresh perspective vs my more veteran take on things.

#11 Quests and FOMO | Chris Creed of Jen & Chris Creed Photography
For today’s episode, I chatted with the Chris-half of Jen & Chris Creed Photography. Jen & Chris are a laid-back wedding photography duo based here in Nashville that loves documenting real moments for joyful couples. Chris also shares my love of traveling, thinking deeply about the big questions in life and fine bourbon. So, of course, I had to have him on the show.
Chris and I talked through a lot of things - not being taught to be an entrepreneur, getting caught in FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), finding routines and tactics that support you, dealing with mindset hurdles, having difficult conversations. Be sure to listen to the very end of the episode where I share a new tip from Brene Brown I recently learned related to hard conversations or 'rumbles' as she calls them.
Chris also talks about the advice he’d give his younger self about define success according to you. You got to keep the real stuff in perspective and understand your business is only part of the journey.
