Episode #49 : Build The Business Podcast

Today, I’m sitting down with the lovely Sarah Lewis of Slate and Brush to talk about her slow growth strategy. This episode took so many amazing turns, I can’t wait for you to dive in. 

We talked about learning what to say yes to in the beginning stages of your business, how to grow a portfolio of work that people actually WANT to buy, the importance of staying true to yourself as you build your business (instead of trying to be like everyone else) and how to trust the process when you’re playing the “long game” while building your business. 

This conversation with Sarah was such a pleasure because while I agree that slow growth makes for strong roots – it’s not always easy you’re in the thick of it. Sarah explains what slow growth is, how she did it and and how it’s paid off of her business. Without further ado, let’s dive in!

Ready to dive in? In today’s episode, we’ll cover:

  1. What Sarah considers the “recipe” for her slow growth strategy.
  2. What struggles or obstacles you will face on your journey to slow growth.
  3. How to learn to trust the process when you’re playing the “long game” growing your business.

Most wedding professionals focus on perfecting their product, marketing, and social media - which are all important. But what’s even more important is the way you and your business makes people feel. 

When faced with decisions like:-
🔸 Do I reprint after the couple made a spelling error?
🔸 The mother of the bride needs a little bit of extra help... do I take the time?
🔸 One of my brides is having a hell of a week. How can I cheer her up?

... Do you hesitate or jump in to help? You might feel like you don’t have the cash to “not think about profit”, or if you spend too much time with a client they’re “disrespecting your boundaries”.

I get it. But I also know that as a heart-centered entrepreneur you know in your gut what you need to do and how you need to operate your business. 

I have created a workshop to show you a customer service approach that many people talk about, but few actually practice. It’s called People over Profit: The Customer Service Approach That Grew My Business To $300k, and enrollment is now open.  

So, if you’re ready to embrace a new way of doing business as a heart-centered entrepreneur - then sign up at LindsayJWilliams.com/AugustWorkshop (link in our bio)

Jamison’s getting tubes in his ears tomorrow ❤️🙏🏻 This mama is a bundle of nerves but I know this will help with his hearing and speech. He’ll be two next month and hasn’t started talking yet but he’s trying so hard! 

Then, in two weeks I have my tonsils out and deviated septum done (in the same surgery). 

A father-son duo is doing both of our surgeries. The father is doing Jamison’s tomorrow, and the son will do mine at the end of the month. We were there for Jamison’s pre-op this week and I said “your son is doing my tonsils in a couple weeks!” And all he said was “oh that hurts like hell” 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ 

Has anyone gotten either procedure done? Any tips? Help ease my nerves tonight! 🙏🏻❤️

I’ve invited my dear friend Ashley on the show today to talk about building a team. Because, if I had to guess, it’s something that you might not have thought about yet 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know a lot of us are solopreneurs in the wedding industry - myself included! So I wanted to bring a different perspective to the podcast today, because I LOVE learning from brilliant minds like Ashley and I told her about us…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She knows that a lot of our community are mighty teams of one and bringing on a team can be a little nerve wrecking. So we talk about the opportunity vs. risk, how to afford hiring a team, and how to know when you’re ready. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re at the stage in your business where you’re thinking about maybe bringing on some help but you’re hesitant because of the cost, time, effort, I want you to check this episode out. It might not be as scary as we both thought ;)
