Real world small business experience is pure gold.
Back when my husband and I started our first company, Essential Packaging, small business wasn’t ANYTHING like what it is today. We simply didn’t have the same support and resources that are now easily available almost anywhere.
When we started in 1995, you couldn’t Google marketing strategies, read any business development blogs or listen to any podcasts about growing your email list.
None of that existed back then.
The only way to learn was to try something. If that didn’t work, you tried something else. And you keep doing that until something eventually worked.
But it allowed us to do something unique that I believe gets lost in today’s business strategies – we spoke with our customers in person, really listened and responded to their needs.
Crazy, right?!
Sure, nowadays you have so many more options available to get advice – social networks, video platforms, and even AI.
But you know what else ALL that does?
Creates A LOT of noise.
With every armchair expert, with no real world experience, telling you to do this or do that, it can get overwhelming awfully fast.
What’s one thing I have that they don’t?
EXPERIENCE.
Yup, 30+ YEARS of it. I’ve done the work, the old-fashioned way, by ACTUALLY doing it!

I have to say, it’s been kinda fun. THREADS, the new *conversation* app from Meta that blew into our social world on July 5th, has been fun to explore. Now, I’m someone who admittedly ISN’T on the cusp of all that is new and techy. The fact that I got onto it on the first […]
My weekend at Yellow Point Lodge was a nostalgic experience unlike anything I’ve ever experienced… A Nostalgic Feel- “Oh, we don’t have room keys”, said the lovely staff person when I was checking in. No room keys. Ok. This felt a bit like when you used to leave money on your door step […]
The future of small business… There was a day last December that just sucked. I was feeling weighed from all these negative things piled on me. Never-ending product shortages, shipping delays, vendor price increases, holiday season stress and a bunch of other stuff had really worn me down on that particular day. In addition to […]
Do you remember 3 years ago, where you were when the pandemic hit? Of course you do. We all do. In some ways, it’s hard to believe it’s already been 3 years since the pandemic. Yet it also feels like a lifetime ago… My family and I were at YVR waiting to board our flight […]
