189. Grow Your Wedding Business by "Getting a Bigger Tank"
In this episode, we dive into a common frustration: why isn't your wedding business growing? As wedding professionals, we work tirelessly, often sacrificing our weekends and free time to create unforgettable events. But what if I told you that your business isn't reaching its full potential because your mindset is holding you back?
Picture this: a TikTok video featuring a snake shedding its skin caught my attention, and it holds an important lesson for us all. The snake didn't grow to its full size because it was confined to a small tank. Similarly, our businesses won't thrive if we limit ourselves and our ambitions. (Listen to the episode for the full crazy Tiktok story!
But it's time to break free from that limited thinking. We must surround ourselves with like-minded entrepreneurs who have already achieved what we aspire to. When we expand our community, we expand our possibilities.
So, don't let overwhelm hold you back any longer. Connect with me on Instagram @BrandeeGaar and let's start building your bigger tank.

188. Understanding Your Money Like a CFO! w/ Christy Bowie
Today's guest is Christy Bowie, and guess what? We're diving into one of my absolute favorite topics: finances!
Christy is a fractional CFO, which means she's an expert in managing your goals pertaining to all things money, taxes, and financial planning.
If you're wondering how a fractional CFO fits into your existing financial structure, it's simple. You already have a bookkeeper who handles your monthly reports and a CPA who takes care of your taxes. You may even have a financial advisor. Christy steps in as the missing puzzle piece. She reviews the financial information, collaborates with your other money professionals, and ensures your business's financial health is being taken care of throughout the year.
She helps you understand what your numbers mean, how to improve your future performance, and how to build wealth through leveraging your financials.
How often do I say, "You have got to know your numbers"???
Happy listening and I hope you are inspired by this episode to keep building the wedding business you have dreamed of!!!

185. Three Sales Funnels Every Wedding Entrepreneur Needs w/ Carissa Kruse
On today's episode, I am talking with Carissa Kruse about the importance of funnels in the wedding industry. Carissa is a sales and backend funnel strategy expert for wedding professionals who helps them book more weddings without constantly chasing leads.
Carissa and I, discuss the three main funnels that wedding entrepreneurs need in their businesses: the cold funnel (excite and attract), the warm funnel (captivate and convert), and the hot funnel (surprise and delight).
The cold funnel is used to attract leads, the warm funnel to convert those leads into bookings, and the hot funnel to create a client journey that leads to referrals.
We also chat about how Carissa got into the wedding industry and how she has expanded her business over the years, and shares valuable insights into how wedding entrepreneurs can create profitable businesses they love.

184. The #1 Reason You're Still Overwhelmed in Your Wedding Business (and what to do instead)
Hello CEOs!! In this episode, I discuss the biggest challenge I faced when running my wedding business: feeling overwhelmed, even with a large team. I realized that I was managing tasks instead of managing people, which meant that even when I delegated tasks to my team, I was still overwhelmed with work.
To solve this problem, I started delegating roles instead of tasks. By assigning specific roles to team members, they took ownership of the tasks within their role, which freed up my time and reduced my workload. I also made sure to set clear communication guidelines and touch-points to ensure that everyone was on the same page, and tasks were completed efficiently.
