070: Business Challenges with Scaling WITH ANNETTE FABER The podcast today is part of a new series called Business Challenges. In this series, business owners share their challenges and we work through some methods to solve the problems they are facing.

Thoughts from Annette:

  • I feel like there are so many other things that can get done.

  • I am not cooking meals for my family. I am primarily working.

  • I am honestly afraid of the commitment of having help.

  • Having someone (help) who I can have with me all of the time is a challenge.

  • Watching my business grow has changed me as a person.

  • I thought “This is my last-ditch effort so I won’t have to go out of business.”

  • It takes a lot of growing and maturing as a business owner.

Thoughts from Michele:

  • We want to scale with the plan and scale with an idea of how do we make this sustainable, but also enjoyable.

  • What we're going to do is we're going to take these barriers of people, and space, and lead times and money, and we're going to deal with them one at a time.

  • This isn't a workroom solving a community issue by yourself.

  • Before we can pour out on others, we really have to kind of take care of ourselves, right?

  • As creatives, we think of “Could do this?” and “I could do this” and “I could do that.” The truth is, we could we can do those things. But should we do those things?
