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.

If I hear one more business owner throw in the towel after they’ve made a mistake or one of their launches failed… *facepalm!* Trust me, we’ve all been there – we get excited about doing something new and then that something doesn’t pan out exactly how we thought it would and we’re ready to quit.  Buuuuuut *steps on soap box*... it is SO important to experiment more in our businesses and commit to consistency! That’s why in today’s episode of Goal Digger, I’m sharing some of the experiments I’ve done in my own business – ones that worked, ones that didn’t pan out, and talk about the power of experimentation in entrepreneurship.

This ONE system helps you learn more about your decision-making skills, your strongest sense, your gifts and more?! It sounds too good to be true, but I’ve seen for myself that it isn’t.  Human Design is NOT your mama’s personality quiz… In fact, it’s not a quiz at all! Basically, this ancient system uses your exact time, date, and place of birth to help you understand more about your personality, emotions, and energy centers, and my guest on Goal Digger today is the QUEEN of helping people use it to get less resistance and more ease in their lives (and businesses)! In our conversation, Jenna Zoë teaches us how we can use Human Design to understand more about ourselves so that we can spend our energy emphasizing our unique gifts and talents. 🙌🏼 It is seriously one of the coolest topics I’ve learned about this year, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Whether you're a freelancer, a creative professional, a small business owner, or a side hustler with big dreams, we ALL face this reality at some point.  I know just as well as you do that the income inconsistency is one of the scariest parts of being an entrepreneur.
