Listen

Description

Welcome to Episode 2! 

Join me, Lisa, as I take you on my personal entrepreneurial journey - from the highs of wedding planning success to the challenging yet fulfilling road of starting Golden Brands.

This episode is an honest reflection on the challenges of offering too much, the pitfalls of closely following competitors, the importance of growth at a manageable pace, and why being true to your unique business vision is crucial. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner, these insights are aimed at helping you avoid common mistakes and guide you toward success in your own business journey.

In this episode, I talk about: 

  1. Lessons from Willow Tree Creative:
    • The risk of offering too many services.
    • The impact of closely following competitors and how it led to imposter syndrome.
    • Growing too quickly without proper systems and processes.
    • Understanding the true needs of your business versus what competitors have.
    • Focusing on meaningful metrics rather than vanity metrics like Instagram followers.
  2. Insights from Styled Images:
    • Realisations about business partnerships.
    • The necessity of having a solid brand strategy and business plan.
  3. Learning from Socialized:
    • Understanding the implications of rapid business growth and hiring staff.
    • The benefits of staying small and focused.
    • Sticking to your business packages and avoiding over-customization.
    • The importance of identifying red flags in client relationships early on.
  4. Reflections on Golden Brands:
    • Being patient and focusing on long-term growth.
