When today’s guest Trish Healy read Celia’s (the 12-year-old daughter she and her husband were fostering at the time) wish list and saw she most wanted a sleepover party, it was a life-changing moment. WonderTent Parties was born and now five years later, the business has expanded from sleepovers to events and experiences for both children and adults.
In this episode, Trish shares her struggle to acknowledge that she didn’t need to wear all the hats in her new business and how referrals hugely benefited her business growth in the early days. We discuss marketing tips for growing your new business and explain who you should listen to the most in business.
Listen to this episode to learn how to best reach your target audience as a new business, ways to incorporate philanthropy into your business model, and some of Trish’s favorite tips for managing bad days at work.
