We are excited to take a look at the That Girl Brie for this month's client spotlight:
Q: Why did you start this business?
A: I started That Girl Brie to generate income while home with my small children. It was a creative outlet for me, I had no idea it would take off the way it has.
Q: What is a challenge you have overcome?
A: There have been small challenges along the way, but I have found support for every hurdle I have faced. Licensing is a bit of a challenge because I have so many ideas and this is a newer business concept. Getting approval can be tricky. I have a great food inspector that continually works with me to forge ahead and help find answers.
Q:What are you most proud of so far?
A: I am so proud that my business has grown completely by word of mouth and referrals. I love knowing that a client's experience was so great that they just had to share with a friend or colleague.
Q:What are 3 tips for those thinking of starting their own business?
A: Take a business class. I am so happy I did this. I knew I had a plan, but the class allowed me to really understand how my plan could work and forced me to look at my business from a different perspective. I also left the class with a business plan which is something I was always so overwhelmed to write.
Get an accountant and really understand your financial reporting. I have a monthly meeting with my accountant to really dive into my numbers and get an understanding of my costs and how I can grow, affordably.
