    Q&A: Running a Small Business

    Taxes are filed and paid, and I’m feeling good! I put up a question box on my Instagram story asking if you had any questions for me about the behind-the-scenes of running a small business because a lot of the time what we share on social media is the very pretty finished product or the polished parts of processes and we don't show the not-so-pretty stuff that's not very fun. So today I’m gonna answer all your questions about the behind-the-scenes parts of running a small business. -When to make your side hustle official (00:57) -The best way to gain traction and get your business out there (05:06) -How to invest in yourself (07:07) and how to know what to invest in, plus what I invested in up until now and what’s on my list! -What I had to teach myself about running a small business (16:17) spoiler alert: the biggest thing was BOUNDARIES -My favorite apps to stay organized (23:04) – links down below! -What I do to keep clients coming back (25:46) Thanks for listening to Not So Ladylike! You can find the shownotes for all episodes here. If we aren’t already, I’d love to be friends on Instagram – you can find me @EleanorElaineBoudoir. And before you go, I’d be so appreciative if you’d leave a five star review wherever you listen to podcasts and tell a friend about today’s episode! Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.

    From Studying Education to Building a Boudoir Business

    Welcome back to Not So Ladylike! Things have changed a bit around here since you last listened, so I have an update for you before getting into the episode today. Katie and I started Not So Ladylike in the beginning of 2022, and had so much fun together creating for it! We decided to pause for a while, and then since feeling more freedom in our schedules and less stress on us, have decided to pivot the podcast. So since Not So Ladylike is now part of my brand, I thought it would be fun for you to get to know me a little bit better, starting with my background and how I got into boudoir. - I’ve always had an interest in art, and in high school was the president of the art club and the drama club (3:47) - I went to school for art education, and loved being in the classroom (4:21) until I realized I was burnt out on my coursework - I started taking portraits and did boudoir mini sessions with my friends in 2018 and LOVED it (10:05) - I started my business in 2019, just a couple weeks after graduating college (15:22) and pulled spreadsheets from the first year of my business so you can get a sense for what the beginning was like – spoiler alert, it was hard AF Thanks for listening to Not So Ladylike! You can find the shownotes for all episodes here. If we aren’t already, I’d love to be friends on Instagram – you can find me @EleanorElaineBoudoir. And before you go, I’d be so appreciative if you’d leave a five star review wherever you listen to podcasts and tell a friend about today’s episode! Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.
