Earning 7 figures in sales is a blessing. Especially when you don't mind sharing some major tips to help someone else out along the way. That's what today's podcast is all about. I recently traveled to Florida for a marketing conference and I got to meet some amazing business owners who all have generated over 7 figures of sales in their business.These were not bakers and they were not sleazy people who lay on beaches and brag about driving fancy cars. These were every day people who had a genuine passion to help and serve others. They have had AMAZING success from grinding, growing, testing and changing but most importantly, never giving up! I simply asked them one question- if they could give just ONE piece of advice what would it be?

Recently Crumbl Cookies was in the news as a Tik-Toker visited their store and noticed that they use box mix for their ingredients. While I love a good box mix, I understand how people can presume because you charge a certain price that maybe you bake from scratch even when you don't. However, regardless of if you are team box mix or not, my take is that it doesn't matter what you use just as long as you make a profit while making your customers happy.So rather than jumping on the bashing bandwagon(because that's not what Baking For Business is about!) I thought we can look at what lessons we can learn from Crumbl regardless of the fact that they use a box. Because at the end of the day they have an amazing recipe for success and that is something we can all use more of.In this episode we will learn:How to view a problem from a different lensWhat 3 components make Crumbl successfulWhat lessons we can learn from Crumbl How to approach negativity in our business and much moreBusines FREEBIES:Grab my FREE resource guide and get 30 plus resources to level-up your home bakery business click here to grab my FREE guide and get more tips from me every week.http://bit.ly/bakersresourcesAre we friends on Instagram?
