Some might even call me a coffee snob. I prefer connoisseur.   But what most people don't know is that I didn't used to love or even drink coffee. What changed? I bought a coffee shop.   It's been almost 11 years since I dove into the world of coffee and entrepreneurship. And I've never really shared publicly about the experience and some of the biggest lessons that I learned along the way…until now.   This week I'm taking you on a walk down memory lane, and sharing for the first time the three biggest lessons that I learned owning a brick & mortar shop that I think will help you in your journey, whether you are running your own business or just seeking to live a life with purpose.    Better Together, Christine   MENTIONED ON THIS EPISODE.   It's my birthday!!

  With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Many of our creative businesses start as passion projects because we truly love what we are doing.  However, we all know by now that running a business takes more than passion. Today I'm talking with Leanne Pressly, founder and CEO of Stitchcraft Marketing, about all things social media: an aspect of our businesses that creatives often overlook. Stitchcraft Marketing is a digital marketing agency that specializes in helping fiber and fabric companies with social media strategy and execution. Throughout the episode, you'll hear so many nuggets of wisdom from Leanne about social media strategy.     Here are some of the social media pointers we dig into: 1.Keep it simple.  Instead of managing 4 social media poorly, cut it back and focus on the one you are most familiar and comfortable with. 2.Be sure that you keep alert to changes happening on the platform you use because the social media landscape changes fast and often. 3.Post consistently and stay engaged with your audience. 4.Lean into your competitive advantage: YOU are your brand and you have that advantage over the big box stores. 5.Use ChatGPT for ideation, not as a replacement for blog posts/content.   Some tips for being efficient when managing your social media strategy: 1.Enlist the help of apps like Trello and Canva. 2.Use a content calendar to reference what you want to focus on. 3.Batch your content. 4.Schedule your content in advance.   We also touched on what's hot right now in the social media universe (May 2023): (1) Short Form video and (2) Facebook moving away from Business Pages and Groups and into profiles that were converted from Individual pages into Professional Mode and (3) the rise of TikTok (4) live selling (CommentSold).   About Leanne: Leanne Pressly is an accomplished entrepreneur and businesswoman with extensive experience in the craft and hobby industry. She is the CEO and Founder of Stitchcraft Marketing, a digital marketing agency that specializes in helping fiber and fabric companies with social media strategy and execution. Under Leanne's leadership, Stitchcraft Marketing has grown into a leading digital marketing agency in the craft industry, working with clients ranging from independent craft shops to major craft brands such as Olfa, Bernina, Knitter's Pride and h+h Americas.

The truth is, there is no secret to growing a business. No quick fix or overnight solution is going to make the difference between failure and success. If you want to know the truth on how you can reach your goals faster and easier, it's all about putting in the work.  When people hear this, they assume long hours, back-breaking effort, and trying to do everything themselves in order to get ahead. When, in reality, it's allowing yourself to let go of the things that are taking up your valuable time and honing in on the things that really need your attention.  In today's episode, Theresa discusses:  How the talent pool for employees is opening up because of corporate exodus  Building from the inside out & resetting your vision  The benefits of being a small business in uncertain times   If you enjoyed this episode and, in some way, it inspired you to start taking action, I'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.   Send me a DM on Instagram @theresacantley and let me know what your favorite part was.

On today's episode of the podcast I dig deep with Desiree Kelly, president and founder of The Makery Cake Co. into her bakery's profit and loss. Desiree has a microbiology degree and got into cake decorating by offering to make her sister's wedding cake with no experience (Desiree had only just made a cake for a BBQ that previous weekend). She took some cake decorating classes while getting her MBA. Her teacher noticed how much she liked it and advised she get into cake decorating. She went on to open her own bakery in 2006, The Makery Cake Co. shortly after graduating. She went to the SBA for a $250,000 loan she received. When applying, the she was asked if her husband would be working or joining separately, a poorly communicated way of asking if she would have supplemental income as she was building this business. To come up with her numbers, Desiree visited bakeries and was surprised how collaborative everyone in her Denver area was and how owners would share revenue numbers with her and she also used national database research. She got quotes on the physical space for buildout estimations and the landlord didn't make her sign anything until she got the funding. Desire found a space that had been empty for about 3.5 years and the landlord tested it to make sure there were no residual chemicals from the previous dry-cleaning business. What made things difficult was Desiree received a buildout bid around $69,000 and when the project was completed it was $123,000. She was left with $13,000 in cash and wasn't sure how the business was going to survive. Desiree didn't have to pay taxes for a few years because she was not profitable and at that time there was loss carry-forward on her S Corp. About five years into the business, Desiree did away with her bakery case about seven years ago because it was not making good margins, only about 10% because things were being thrown away. She found people expected to pay less if it was in the case than they would if it was made custom for them even if it was the cake. She went all custom and it made people want it more when they couldn't have it right away. On an occasion cake, the margin is about 30% and on a wedding cake the margin is more like 40%. Wedding cakes start at a base price bundled with delivery and upgraded flavors all for one set package price whereas occasion cakes (like birthday), have more choices. Diving into Desiree's P&L, we are only covering January 1 through November 19, 2022 so these are not year-end numbers. Total income - $446,000 (projected year-end revenue $500,000). This is a typical year. compared to prior years, last year was similar to this year and 2020 was a crapshoot. Home consumption - $202,000 In Colorado, you don't tax items you pick up from a grocery store and eat but you do tax items that are catered. Home consumption is a birthday cake you pick up but delivered is not considered home consumption. About 40% of total revenue Parties - $1,200 When The Makery opened it was heavy into hosting birthday parties. It got to the point where they could not support the size of the parties, sometimes serving up to 72 kids in a weekend, so they moved the parties to at-home parties, which reduced popularity because people didn't want the mess in their house of the cake decorating and then with COVID it stopped until and moved to videos and kits which is what makes up the $1,200 Resale to vendors - $24,000 Venues in Denver will sell the cake to the couple and buy it from The Makery as wholesale and then send the couple to Desiree to design it. (In talking with wedding planners, some have shared with me that they want to offer all-inclusie packages including the vendors and then they would pay out the planners which makes your business model complicated and need to properly charge for all the admin work on the back end. I don't typically recommend it because of all this backend work and also for liability purposes. Software mentioned during this segment: Maroo –An online payment platform that's free for wedding professionals and their clients. Maroo offers a budget tracking dashboard for couples to keep on top of paid and scheduled payments in one spot and allows them to pay in all kinds of ways from ACH transfer to credit card and even Buy Now, Pay Later with 0% APR up to 12 months. Rock Paper Coin – A client management platform simplifies proposals, contracts, invoicing, and payment processing for businesses of all types and sizes in the event industry. Vendors, want to become a member? Sign up using code BRADEN. Sales – This is a negative number and includes a few refunds to customers but mostly stand rental refunds of the deposit the couple paid up front and get back when cake stands are returned. Wedding cakes - $207,000 This is 47% of overall revenue. With smaller cakes and cutting cakes becoming more popular, this comes to about 200 cakes in a year with most income coming from May to September. Services - $21,000 This is delivery costs and wedding cake design sessions. When we weren't charging for our design sessions/tastings there were a lot of no-shows. Deliveries are often done by one team member and are done mainly in-house because if something goes wrong, it can't be fixed by a courier system. Cost of Goods - $53,000 Because it is so low, Desiree does not track her cost of goods very closely with a goal to stay under a certain amount. Instead of focusing on cost of goods to determine cake price increases, Desiree focuses on her team costs because she increases pay every six months. Talent (payroll) – $227,000 This includes Desiree's team (made up of a customer service person who manages clients and frees up the bakers to work and bakers which can be up to eight people pretty much full time in the summer during busy season) and Desiree's personal salary of $55,000. For the first seven years Desiree was not paying herself. Now as an S Corp, she is required to take a reasonable salary. Desiree tracks closely when the slow weeks will be to communicate with her team so they can plan accordingly if that requires another part time job for them or when they'll be busier. Retirement funds paid – Desiree offers retirement to employees who have been working with her for over a year and it build per hour so it is both available to part and full time employees. Worker's Comp - $5,000 Bakeries are classified as a dangerous environment which can make worker's comp high. Desiree had to use it twice. Liability insurance - $3,000 This number goes up because of delivery. If the bakery did not offer delivery this cost would go down. Computer software - $6,200 Desiree loves automation and drip campaigns and having all her software integrated from payment to website so while this cost may be higher than it needs to be, she uses Infusionsoft and does not want to take the time or money to redesign it and move something else. Her email list is between 9 and 10,000 leads. Marketing - $23,000 total Under this is website optimization and social media, which includes the company Desiree pays to manage her Google Adwords and tweaking keywords on her landing page. Sales tax – Before opening the bakery Desiree took a class on sales tax with the Department of Revenue. When you deliver an item, you have to charge the sales tax at the delivery point so that is how states started getting their revenue from Amazon. Because Desiree is a vendor for 251 wedding venues in Colorado, she has 251 sales tax settings in her Square account for each venue so couples know the sales tax at their venue. Desiree's sales tax for the state of Colorado was 146 pages long, then there is sales tax for Denver and sales tax for the Centennial municipality. It is a time-consuming process, even with the automated spreadsheet Desiree has in place. Net Operating income – (-$6,000) Last year was great because of backlogged 2020 weddings. This year, everyone's wages went up but the cakes were being paid that were ordered at a 2021 price. 60% of the money that comes through the door goes out to the employees and Desiree. Luckily Desiree had business savings to help offset this. In years past, this was $80,000 which is where Desiree feels most comfortable. When there is a net positive, Desiree still does not usually pay herself profit distribution and instead keeps it for savings because she does not feel like $30,000 in the bank for savings is enough. Desiree found that when she stopped doing the baking and decorating herself it made the business run smoother and flourish when she didn't have her employers waiting on her to give direction. She found that if she's not taking care of the backend of the business and growing it she's not doing the business any favors, even if it means not getting to work on cakes and do the part that she loves. Desiree still meets with couples, helps with the designs, especially of elaborate cakes, and works on the cakes that go to sponsorship events she attends.

This personal trainer made more in 10 days ($128k) than he did the entire previous year ($78k) when he took his company digital.   On today's episode, host Mark de Grasse sits down with Lanell Beckels to talk about making the switch from being a personal trainer at an actual gym to doing group coaching online. He and his business partner, Adam Lyons, scrapped his one-on-one model, systematized it, made videos, and launched. His offer: helping busy professionals look and feel better without daily workouts and without missing out on their favorite foods. The new business took off immediately, and he made more during the launch than he had the whole year before. Unlike his gym days, when he was putting in 12+ hours a day, this model is scalable and sustainable—and he has time for a life outside of training. Listen in for the inspiration you need to take your business online.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: How he helps his clients get healthy while working out just 30 minutes a week  How he has built his business on referrals and testimonials Ways he leverages Zoom, My Fitness Pal, Discord, and Facebook in his business Tips for maintaining a personal touch with clients while using a one-to-many model LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Text CONSULT to 512-967-6639 (for a free consult) Connect with http://instagram.com/lanellbecklesfitness (Lanell on IG) OUR PARTNERS: http://getscalable.com/dm (7 Levels of Scale Workbook) Find out your Leadership Trust Score at https://readytolead.com (Ready to Lead).
