Owning A Flower Business

How do you stay accountable as a business owner?

If you own your business, you know there’s a lot to manage if you want to be successful and profitable, but what steps do you take to actually keep yourself on track and avoid time-wasting activities?

In this month’s livestream, I talked about strategies to stay motivated and accountable (or help to get back on track!).

When you watch, you’ll get a few rules I try to follow in my business (based on 22 years of experience), and I’ll address a question I received recently regarding “how much money a florist makes”. (You can also see a few highlights timestamped below!)

Topic Highlights:

How Do You Stay Accountable As A Business Owner? 00:00

Introduction/Welcome 03:25

What Does Accountability Look Like? 04:15

Steps To Create Accountability 04:56

Social Media Moderation 14:43

Social Media Prompts vs Complaints 19:48

Final Two Tips & Recap 20:46

How Much Money Does A Florist Make? 29:24

What Do You Do With Vases After An Event? 35:24

Staying Accountable From Here 37:44

Thanks for making time to watch today and for holding yourself accountable in your own business! If you ever need a business boost, I’m here to help! Whether that be with monthly trainings as a member on Patreon, inside one of my online business courses, or in 1:1 coaching.

Keep doing beautiful work and keep yourself accountable so you can get the results you’re aiming for in your business and your life!
