70: Taming your 8 CEOs with Jen Taylor

Episode #70: Build The Business Podcast

Did you know that most creative people are right-brained? You may be wondering, “Lindsay, what does that mean?” Well, they tend to think more creatively and are less organized. Is your business wildly imaginative and expressive but lacks the structure needed to create logical systems? Then you’ll want to keep listening! In this episode, my guest, Jen Taylor, helps creatives streamline their workflows, processes, and procedures so they can grow their business and spend their time doing what they love most: creating and spending time with their families.

Owner and founder of Taylor’d Events, Jennifer Taylor, carries over 15 years of wedding planning and has earned a wealth of knowledge throughout her career. While running her own business, she had the pleasure of working alongside highly innovative and talented creatives throughout the industry and beyond.

Jen’s systematic knowledge of the inner workings of creative businesses has brought her to national stages and major industry publications. She has spoken at conferences like The Special Event, NACE Experience, and ILEA, as well as chapter-based events for NACE, The Wedding Network, ABC, and Western Washington University. Her expertise has also graced the pages of WeddingWire EDU, Special Events, Catersource, Book More Brides, Honeybook, and Wedding Planner Magazine.

 

Simplifying is the key to scaling a successful creative business as a solopreneur. And Jen walks us through the areas of our business where we need to focus on what’s most important and how to do it all without going insane. 

Highlights from this episode with Jen include:

  • Jen’s journey (4:43)
  • Taking a look at the 8 CEOs (4:43)
  • A deeper look at why they’re so important (6:16)
  • How often should we review our finances? (11:37)
  • Balance is key (22:50)
  • Having more time if you work on your business (27:02)
  • Where you can follow Jen and get her resources (30:29)

Remember, you are a business owner. You’re not a wedding planner, stationer or photographer. You’re a business owner first. And it’s important that you take that role seriously! Do you put your business first, or spend time setting boundaries for yourself? I’d love to hear about the expectations you set for your clients! Send me a DM on Instagram and tell me all about it!

Thank you for tuning into the Build that Business podcast. Please follow, share if you enjoyed the show, and leave a review on Apple or Spotify so others can find us who are ready to build a business and generate profits without burnout!

I've grown a $300,000 (that's yearly revenue) wedding business posting my dog...​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Okay, maybe there was a little bit more to it than that, but I'm going to teach you! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Jokes aside - I know what works when it comes to connecting with your couples, increasing engagement, and booking more weddings with social media. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The gist of it all? People connect with people (or cute fluffy dogs) - NOT products. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
In my upcoming workshop, I'll show you exactly what to post, how to plan that content, and how to schedule it all in just 3 days. One month of content in 3 days. So, you'll finally feel caught up and AHEAD to free up your time to work on other things.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sounds amazing right? It's all happening live this Monday, September 19th and you sign up at the link in our bio 😉​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
PS: Really though, Chewi is in our Top 9 every single year.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
PPS: Can't make it live? Don't sweat it! You'll get the replay in your inbox the next morning!

Do you feel like you keep saying the same things on social media over and over again?

It’s  frickin hard, right?

The key to having unique, engaging, captivating and persuasive content is by expanding your topic ideas.  50% of what you post needs to be something other than what you sell. Your social feed should create connections, communicate your value, and warm up your lead.

Our workshop theme for September is, you guessed it, social media! We’ll cover how to plan, create, and schedule a month of social content in just 3 days 🙌🏼🔥
