Buckets & Boom Gates Kim White & Kerry Zarb

Wrapping up Season One in the BBG Studio with a hard conversation. It's very exciting AND very sad but business has many seasons and changes. Life happens and we hope we can be living proof for you dear listener because you may face these times too.
We are not breaking up but being responsibleWhen we say yes to something we are saying no to something elseKerry made some hard decisions that are super important for her clientsHaving a full client roster and having clients who have issues and crisis' going on leads to hard choicesEven locations have seasons - coming out of the Great Freeze of 2020 in 2024Time zones, audio quality, lack of taking care of herself, all adds up to this is the best decision for our Little Aussie Bucket of Swearing Sunshine (LABOSS) ☀️Reframing the necessary choices and being honestReality has hit and pivoting now out of the pandemic is vitalThe Money Barista Apron is turned to the back and is now a cape
Skates on and cape flying as Kerry is rescuing her clients. If you feel a breeze blow by, it might just be Kerry. Planning for Season Two has already begun and after a short break Buckets & Boom Gates will be back but will look a bit different. Stay tuned...
Love Y'ALL and thank you for being with us weekly. We are grateful for YOU! 🙏

This week in the BBG Studio the discussion continues in the versus series. This episode gets spicy and hits close to home as we compare the difference between messy and sloppy. While messy is beautiful and shows progress, sloppy is a much different thing in our businesses. Confessions included during this convo...
Getting started and showing the flawsStart before you feel readyContinuously improve over timeEveryone starts at zero no matter what they are startingIt takes courage to startAre you too tired or don't care anymore?Pause or full stopTaking care of yourself as a humanCaution to slow down when things start to get sloppyIdentifying there is a problemSigns things have changed from messy to sloppyPivots, shifts, adjustmentsHas your 'want to' changed
Doing a bad job because something changed is not the same as learning as we go. Things shift, change, and evolve in our businesses and our schedules. We as humans also go through changes. Recognizing the sloppy and making sure we navigate those transitions is important.
It takes courage to start and it takes even more to shift, pivot, and adjust. Since Kerry started podcasting, she has done over 400 podcast episodes and is now a rockstar podcaster. Someday the rest of us may get to Kerry's level, but until then, embrace our messy because we don't want to be sloppy with you our amazing listener!
Join us next week for a living example of making sure we are not being sloppy going forward.
Love Y'ALL ❤️

There are many different ways of doing a freebie and micro offer to give opportunities so listen to what you are being asked because those questions leave clues for you.

This week in the BBG Studio it gets quite spicy with the versus series. We understand how hard it can be to start a new business as we are both serial entrepreneurs because we love the adventure. Join us as we unpack the reason behind a pitch and offer.
Overwhelming and exhausting informationGeneral & broad vs specific Translation of desperate or irresistible marketingPassionate about being the solutionUnderstanding when to say yes (or no) to someoneDiversifying dangers and setting boundariesLooking through the lense of a pitch and offer
Knowing who you are the solution for and not saying yes when you aren't is vital to your business success. How we portray ourselves, our business, and what we do helps the right people find us and the wrong ones know to look elsewhere. The utopia of a business is wanting to help everyone and knowing the ones you really can help. We hope this conversation unpacks clarity of the difference for you in your business.
Love Y'ALL 🙏

Desperate marketing, also known as creepy, can be done for several reasons. Join us in the BBG Studio to hear three reasons people can be creepy and how shifting to irresistible marketing saves money and feels so much better. If you aren't sure what you are using, listen in to know the difference.
some people are selling 'how to sell' which a lot of the time is teaching people how to do creepy marketinghaters are going to hate when we say these things out loudKerry - "I'm a numbers girl and I think desperate marketing costs more money."using the language of those who need that solution you provideif someone is new to business they may not realize there are different ways to do marketing
It's important to remember we are all a work in progress and so are our businesses. We can grow, shift, and level up. Doing the right kind of marketing can ultimately mean people are chasing you for the solution instead of you chasing them. Here's to never being creepy!🥂
Love Y'All, Kim & Kerry

Do you know what you are signing up for when you're doing things with other humans, business owners and entrepreneurs? Unpacking this from their experience, Kerry and Kim are in the Buckets & Boom Gates Studio talking about the differences between a Joint Venture Partner and an Investor.
What is a Joint Venture partner?What is an Investor?The difference of working in a project with other humans versus other humans having say so over what's done in the businessHaving a breakup planSigns of having a good foundation
Whether it's a project, a one off event, anything that you can do with another human, you have to be open, honest, and flexible. Ask the questions so you understand what you are being asked to do and you can make sure you are saying yes to what you think you are saying yes to, because business is better together.
