IF YOU'VE EVER SAID...
BTCO Circle is right for you
IF YOU'VE EVER SAID...
“I want to create a modern flower shop.”
“My mind is all over the place. Am I the only one?”
“I need answers, but I'm overwhelmed by all the options and opinions.”
“I want to learn, but I don’t have time to take a course, read a book, or attend a conference. I just need to talk it out!”
“I'm worried I won't be a good parent while running my business.”
“As much as I want to do something for myself, I just can’t take on one more thing.”
"How am I supposed to solve the problem I'm having today while I'm in the thick of it without an extra hour to look for the answer?"
"How can I slow down and still impact the world with my flowers?"
"I don't have anyone to ask / I'm too shy to ask."
as a part of the circle, you'll find:
*unhurried time to listen and be heard
*connection with other retail shop owners
*access to the collective knowledge of your hosts and your circle peers
*fluid topic discussions based on your current needs and challenges
*group members with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences
*a culture of encouragement: when you win, we all win!

*unhindered discussions around the retail questions you're dying to have answered
*hours of deep discussions with room to safely drop your guard and be honest

In 2009, she started the Botanical Brouhaha blog which opened the door for future endeavors including the BB Podcast, Bloom Trust Co., BTCO Circle, and a youth internship program.
