196. Working with "competitors" | Katie, Kristen & Yonnie

This episode will feature two different conversations! First, we'll hear from Katie and Kristen about how they run their businesses independently, but help each other out as needed. It's a really interesting strategy that I think we can all learn from!

Then I'm also chatting with Yonnie, who shares what she's loved about her journey in the balloon industry so far. Both of the conversations felt really refreshing - I hope you enjoy them!

Key points from the chat with Katie and Kristen include:

• the boundary conversations they had when first getting to know each other
• how they continue to navigate the big jobs when more than one artist is needed
• how great it is to find your own "coworkers" when you're otherwise running your business by yourself
• what their favorite parts of Balloon Boss Summit are

Then Yonnie shares:

• the mind-blowing way she was introduced to balloons
• her process for officially registering her business
• what it was like to take the CBA
• how the size of Summit is beneficial
• her local "competitor" and how they've created their relationship

And in the UGlu Hotline this week, we get some ideas for making your sticky things even stickier!
