Show Notes:
It’s all about finding cool new revenue streams during these strange retail times.
Wendy and Malinda are friends who have been business partners since childhood. From event and wedding coordinators to furniture flipping in the early days, they are now melding the two passions together. Their individual strengths complement each other so beautifully and allow them to work together through the pivots and shifts they’ve had to make throughout the pandemic. It hasn’t always been easy, but they’ve still found amazing success.
Wendy and Malinda have found silver linings during these times, too. One of those is the creation of an EXPERIENCE bucket (a new revenue stream). They were able to take a group of customers and travel from Southern California to Roundtop, Texas to an antique market! Brilliant!
Learn how Wendy and Malinda turned themselves into true CEO’s of their business. Their focus on planning, community outreach, their creative ideas, and the confidence to follow through with those ideas have propelled their business forward! Be confident and clear with your brand!
