Jill Craven on Building a Successful Cheer Gym

StarStruck AllStars has enjoyed 7-17% growth every year since inception 10+ years ago. 
Hear how founder, Jill Craven, built the business, including the importance of time management, continuous learning, and investing conservatively. In this episode: 

• Jill & Penny discuss their friendship and the lessons learned together in their direct sales businesses including hacks like "move the matches", the DIN DIN Club, and Feel-Felt-Found. And how to adapt those to today's challenges.
• Before, during, and after, there was dance, choreography, dedication, and long hours. And children.
• Then came cheer and learning new skills while teaching them.
• Through it all, making kids feel seen, supporting students in building strength and resilience, work ethic, and friendships.
• Then there was the Patrick Swayze story.
• The neighbor who dropped in at 3am.
• And the awkward cheers. Ahhh... the 80's. 
• Plus why we love our Rewined Subscriptions.
