Business Planning for Florists

What is your plan to finish out the year on a high note in your business?

It’s the final quarter of 2026 and as always, NOW is the time to really get dialed into your business plans and procedures.

Because running a business requires forethought, a growth mindset, and an intention to refine your current practices!

Flying by the seat of your pants can only take you so far! Smart, successful business owners make future focused plans.

If you’re ready to level-up your business plans before the end of the year, we can do it together! Click below to watch my most recent livestream with a rundown of the upcoming trainings for October, November and December for members in my Patreon community, AND I also get into a brief continuation of last week’s “pricing rant”! (see below)

Want to work on your business plan with some help from me?

Join me on Patreon for $29 to get a new training each month from now thru December that you can watch live or on a replay! You can cancel (or downgrade) your membership tier at anytime so there is no long term commitment if you want to just get what you need from the live classes plus there’s a vault of additional resources awaiting you that you’ll unlock as a member!

Here’s the lineup for growing your business with me for the rest of 2026:

October 19th: Business Plan Jumpstart Live 12pm Eastern

Join this Zoom session to walk through some of the most important parts of your business plan and refocus your future vision.

60-90 minute session with a replay you can watch anytime.

October 20th: VIP Monthly Q&A for Patreon Members at $29 level

Ask me anything in our monthly Q&A and get feedback on your business plan updates and questions.


November 9th: 5 Steps To Booking Live 12pm Eastern

Join this Zoom session to walk through all of the steps in your booking process to find ways to improve the process and book clients more quickly.

60 minute session with a replay you can watch anytime.

November 18th: VIP Monthly Q&A for Patreon Members at $29 level

Ask me anything, share a success or a struggle with small group support!


December 1, 2, 3: Marketing Workshop for Florists 12pm Eastern all 3 days

Join this 3 Day Live Training to get some of the most important marketing and branding tips florists need to know to attract great customers without posting on social media every day.

Approximately 45-minutes per day.

December 16th: VIP Monthly Q&A for Patreon Members at $29 level
