328. Staying Lean | Elisabeth of Pop of Color Balloon Design

“Remembering why you started”

In another curated episode by HiFloat, we have another returning guest - Elisabeth of Pop of Color Balloon Design. Her and I are kindred spirits in the way that we want to build our businesses around our lives (and not the other way around). So in this episode, we’re chatting about putting limits on our businesses as well as the advantages and disadvantages that come along with.

We talk about how we keep our businesses lean… including overhead expenses, vehicles and hiring help; and the freedom available to us because of those choices. We also discuss the viability of ever selling our businesses, the FOMO that creeps in and the recurring comparison trap that we’re all always struggling with.

Another similarity we found is that if we ever find ourselves angry about a piece of decor we have to set up… it simply means we didn’t charge enough! This conversation was such a good reminder and refresher for me to stay the course, and I hope it’ll inspire you just as much!

And in the UGlu Hotline, hear about how one listener hides her binder clips and clamps.
