257. What I wish I knew | Joette of Balloon Coach

In this first of four episodes sponsored by Balloon Coach in September, we hear from the Balloon Coach herself, Joette. We have an honest conversation about what she would have done differently knowing what she knows now.

She’s actually one of the few in our industry who has purchased a balloon business, grew it and later sold it. So it’s very interesting to hear about all these phases of business that she’s experienced.

We also chat about:

Imposter syndrome
Solopreneurship and teams
Referral networks
Business recommendations that stand the test of time
Old designs becoming new again
Email marketing
Pricing and confidence
Regrets & mistakes

Then I ask for her opinion on what the best steps are to take a part-time, home-based business to full-time and $100k in sales. She offers equipment, staff and technology-related suggestions, according to a person’s situation and goals.

It’s always a pleasure to have Joette on the show, and once again, it’s an episode packed full of good advice and encouragement.

From the UGlu Hotline, we get an idea for sticking foils together.
