If you've ever tried to copy someone else's business model and wondered why it felt so hard, this episode is for you. Dani gets real about what systems actually are — and more importantly, what they're not — and why finding the system that fits your life is the only thing that matters.
In This Episode:
- Why "build systems to scale" advice is missing a critical piece
- How Dani's background as a youth educator shapes the way she thinks about business systems
- The recipe analogy: why systems are something you tweak until they're yours
- Why baking 80 hours of retail a year — and loving it — is a completely valid business model
- The pre-selling model Dani built to eliminate uncertainty and make baking easier to fulfill
- Her summer hybrid system: pre-selling and baking whatever she feels like — both in the same week
- The one question to ask yourself that can completely reshape how you build your business
- How Dani engineered around the part of custom orders she dreads most — without giving them up
