15. Starting a Floral & Design Business

Starting a Floral & Design Business can seem like an overwhelming business to start, however, Sophie and her team execute over 200 events each season. This business wasn’t handed to her and she had to go down an amazing path to get to where she is today. Being able to chat with other like-minded businesses has been a highlight of my 2020 year. This episode will leave you feeling very inspired. Careful thought processes and very well organized moving pieces are what make up the amazing team that Sophie has grown with the undoubting support of her husband.

Similar to other guests we’ve had on the podcast, including myself, Sophie set her sights to become a prestigious lawyer. Something about this profession screams success. Or so she thought. Realizations quickly became true that Lawyers didn’t quite have it all. At least not in the way she imagined it would be. Seeing this trend makes me wonder what kids learn in school to think that this is the career path for them. I know growing up I wanted to go to University and be the first to be a lawyer within our family. Understanding that needs to be what “society” perceives as successful can come at a much earlier age than one can imagine.
