Questions with Rachel: Getting Started, Client Care, Day-of Stress, and more...

We’re looking back at the first episode of Questions with Rachel! Rachel is a Bloomer turned Zimmerman team-member, which means we first connected because she took my course the Business Behind the Blooms, and then she came on to the Zimmerman team in January of 2019. Rachel has a foot in both worlds-- she’s a student and floral designer, mom and entrepreneur, but she also gets to see the inside of team Zimmerman and the inside of my brain as she helps me communicate with our audience and students.

My Favorite Tips and Tricks to Book Clients and Make Money

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 92! Today, we’re talking about how to reboot your booking process. We’ve all experienced seasons where we can’t seem to get clients to book our services. You’re either not getting any inquiries at all or you’re getting inquiries only to have people ghost you after you’ve invested time and energy into booking them. Either way, it’s frustrating!

Boldly Asking for What You Want

Doug Budin is an actor known for his roles in Friends, Modern Family, and Two Broke Girls. However, I first found Doug through Jeff Lewis’s show on Sirius XM and totally fell in love with his voice. His positivity and fun nature comes straight through the sound waves and into my van every time I listen. That’s why I knew I had to dream a big dream and ask him to do the intro to our podcast. And because of your help, I connected with Doug, and now he’s the voice you hear every time you listen to the intro of a Zimmerman Podcast episode!

The Surprising Enemy of Productivity

Today we’re looking back at Zimmerman Podcast Episode 005 where we’re talking everything email! I can’t think of anything less sexy to talk, but hear me out: Over the years, I’ve both seen and experienced how much an unruly email inbox can derail an entire day. I truly believe that productivity is won and lost in your inbox. Because how can you get anything done when you’re constantly solving other peoples’ problems?

Ditch Resolutions and Plan Days Worth Repeating

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 90! Today, after an incredibly fast-moving first two months of 2021, I’m sharing what I do at the beginning of each year to focus my intentions and goals for another year here on earth. I’ve never been a big “New Year's resolutions” fan. Those seem to rely pretty heavily on motivation, which just isn’t enough to get you through the first week of the year, forget about all the long weeks and months. Especially with a year as long as this one.

Build a Business You Can Sell So You Can Pivot, Not Quit It

Today, I’m chatting with Katie Selvidge. Katie created the online and print publication Cottage Hill. Katie loves real inspiration and wholehearted living, and used her experience as a magazine editor to shape the content of her program, Mastering Instagram for Creatives which is, by the way, the only Instagram course I believe in. Katie has recently pivoted into the homestead life, and today we’re going to talk about how to build a business that you can sell (which, PS, should be every real-deal business!), how to know when it’s time to pivot, and how to navigate life as a multi-passionate entrepreneur.

How to Hold the Space Between Boss and Mom

Today on the Zimmerman Podcast, we’re chatting boundaries. Specifically, how on earth can you be a good mom and a good business owner at the same time? I haven’t always been good at walking this fine line, and to be honest, there are still weeks when I struggle. My business and my children are totally separate, but also very intertwined. How can this be true? My business makes me a better mom and allows me to have a flexible work routine so I can show up for my kids. Similarly, being a mom totally determined the type of business I wanted to create, and my children continue to determine the trajectory of business today.

How the Original Bloomer Built Her Empire

One hundred thousand dollars. Doesn’t that number just take your breath away? Have you ever asked someone for a $100,000 loan? I have. It’s how I saved my business from bankruptcy and created a stable, thriving floral and event design business that supported my family of five as we navigated a twin pregnancy, parenting three under three, and a hospitalized husband.

Part of my annual planning process is reflecting on the past year, and so that’s what I’m doing today with you.
