802: The Beginner's Playbook for Starting Something New

Isn’t it funny how things can change in a year? This time last August, we were driving to the beach with our kids and we drove past the Duluth Rowing Club. Fast forward to this summer, and every single week I spend time in a boat with 8 other women of all ages and experience levels. If I’ve learned anything about being a beginner, you learn by doing, not watching!

That was also my motto when my mom and I took a sourdough class earlier this year, when Drew and I decided to become beekeepers, and when my girls and I tried our hands at starting our very first garden. I have so much to learn in all of these new hobbies, and honestly, it feels so good to be so curious!

Of course, those little imposter feelings can hit deep.... And then I remember I’m not an imposter, I’m simply a human brave enough to be a beginner. So today, I want to walk you through the lessons I’m learning while I find myself being a beginner again, and most importantly how you can invite more joy, curiosity, and NEWness into your life, too.

Cheers to never being too old for learning something new! Let’s dive into the beginner’s playbook!

803: How Many Customers Do You REALLY Need?

Calling all brick-and mortar business owners! If you want to get more eyes on your business and more people IN your location, this coaching session has your name written all over it!

As a young girl, Heather Davis had always loved baking sweet treats, and although she initially took a traditional career path to become a teacher, she continued to develop her craft as a baker. Though Heather would often bring her fresh baked goods to her school just for the love of baking, her fellow teachers started placing orders, and encouraged her to sell them! So in 2011 she made the life-changing decision to launch a bakery, Chic Sweets Fine Desserts.

Since 2014, Chic Sweets Bakery has partnered with the finest coffee shops and cafes including Nordstrom Department Stores, Saks Fifth Avenue, Rice University and Aramark Corporation. A little over a year ago, Heather opened her first brick-and-mortar location in a suburb north of Houston, Texas, and that’s exactly what we’re talking about today!

Although I’ve never owned a brick-and-mortar myself, I have a LOT of tricks up my sleeve for Heather to get more organic and paid customers, and I just know you’ll benefit from them, too. Speaking of YOU...
