Why Structure Matters in Creative Businesses 072
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 72!
When it comes to business, creatives are some of the most incredible makers and designers on the planet. But I’ve noticed that what many creative business owners struggle with most is structure.
Wouldn’t it be great if someone could just give you all the answers to the nitty gritty questions about how to run a business?
Well, you’re in luck. Today, I have a Zimmerman student Stephanie Koehler on the Podcast. She’s sharing how, less than two years in business as a floral designer she’s created reliable structure and made profit.

The Business Behind the Blooms
Running a floral business isn’t always as pretty as the flowers themselves. I spent more than a hundred thousand dollars educating myself and figuring out how to make this business work for me and fully support my family of five.
If you’re wanting to know how to not only run a profitable business, but also hear all my first hand experiences of navigating how to deal with difficult brides, make automated systems, create proposals, set boundaries in your work, and book every bride you want, you need to check out BBB!

Beekeeper’s Naturals
In October 2019, I decided to write the entire first draft of my book in like... five days. It was intense. I knew I needed to be laser focused for those four days, so you better believe I loaded up on my Beekeeper’s Naturals goodies every day that week!
I took the B. Powered superfood honey to improve my focus and keep me alert. I also took a BLIXR vial each morning to clear out that brain fog.
Truthfully, two years ago I never could have written this book in four days. I didn’t have the mental clarity or the energy to do it. But my Beekeeper’s honey keeps me fueled and fog-free, and I can definitely notice a difference on the days I forget to take it.
