This is the season we’ve been planning for and waiting for all year long. September through December can be a wild ride, but as a product business owner, it’s SO fun and SO exciting (and, ok, maaaayyybee just a little stressful... but mostly exciting!). Here are 5 things we're thinking about in September to get ready for Q4.
If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ve probably heard me talk about how much I love Profit First Accounting. I know “accounting” can be a scary word for a lot of business owners (budgets, taxes and payroll, blehhhh!). But, it doesn't have to be!
When was the last time you took a real vacation? For entrepreneurs, sometimes it seems impossible. I'm here to tell you: it doesn't have to be!
It's summertime, so I'm getting a lot of out-of-office messages (that's awesome!!). While most are the standard "I'm out until XYZ, please contact ABC," occasionally, I get a really great, really memorable one!
One of the questions I get asked most frequently by fellow product-based business owners is: “How did Teak & Twine get into Anthropologie?!” If I had to give just one answer about how we did it: I’d say grit.
Demolition on Teak & Twine's new space is done and construction is underway! It won't be long before we can move into our new studio. I'm excited to show you what's been happening at the construction site!
These five words have made me more money than any other words in my six years of business. And they’re the five words I LOVE hearing more than anything from the vendors we work with!
You may have seen Teak & Twine shipped a huge order of graduation gifts for George Washington University this spring. This awesome project really pushed us to refine some of our production processes and get serious about our pre-production processes, too… you know, all the little things that need to be done before you can truly get started on making and shipping a product!
There are a few books I recommend to entrepreneurs and product-based business owners over and over. These are the books that line my shelves and that I pick up time and time again!
If you're thinking about working with a professional photographer for the first time, or if you're simply looking to make your product photo shoots more efficient and more productive, there are several things you can do to set yourself up for success and get awesome photos.
Let's be penpals!
Every week I share some of my best business tips, lessons from the trenches and behind the scenes peeks of our latest projects. Won’t you join me for the ride?
