302. Business credit | Sheila of The Balloon Squad

“Using other people’s money to make money”

I knew nothing about business credit before this interview, so if you’re in the same boat - listen in on how you can essentially grow your business using other people’s money! Sheila and I also talk about retail, multiple locations, growth, advertising classic decor and so much more.

I’ve met Sheila at Balloon Boss Summit but haven’t been able to attend any of her sessions so I was thrilled to finally have her on the podcast. Hear about how she was inspired to start her business, how quickly it expanded and some of the things that she and The Balloon Squad are exploring now after so much growth. 

Then she practically knocks my socks off when she shares how her balloon subscription program works!

We wrap up by talking about the business credit and you’ll hear why she considers it “good debt”, the cute story that introduced her to the idea, how utilizing business credit is a part of her everyday life and what it’s allowed her to introduce at her Columbia, SC, headquarters…  The Business Bestie Retreat!

And in the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip for building community over competition.
