Hey Balloon 🎈 friends! Have you joined the betallic loyalty program? If not go to their website for details to stock up on some swag from our friends at Betallic
☀️ When is the last time you attended a training or networking event?? This morning I attended a 3 hour training that was full of good info and actionable steps.
🎥 Today I’m sharing a video with no makeup on. Too many times I hear from Balloon Boss Mastermind members and other friends in the 🎈 industry that they don’t like making videos unless they have makeup on. I use to be one of those people.
However today I went to a class and networking event in downtown Lakeland with no makeup on as a challenge to myself and to take it one step forward make a video while there.
I have decided that I’m going to mix it up and wear makeup when I’m in the mood too, and not let that keep me from creating videos.
My hope is this will inspire others to not use that as an excuse to not create content for their business.
I enjoyed seeing inside CoHatch in Lakeland and attending a Central Florida Score training with great speakers, Voices of Innovation.
Thank you Chris Florence, Nicole Brandham and Grant Sparks @stateofthespark for great information!
Balloon friend if you have not checked out the services Score may offer in your town check out their website today. Contact local co-working spaces to see if they host business training you can attend.

Hey Balloon Designer - Are you ready to Thrive in 2025?
Have you set your Vision and Goals for 2025? January 1st I hosted a Lunch and Learn and 30 balloon designers joined me live to create their vision board for 2025.
It was the perfect way to start the year with creative business owners ready to focus on the future they want to create.
If you have not made a vision board before - or for this year listen to the replay below! As creatives having goals in Images rather than words often help us stay focused, and remind use what we are working towards.
PS if you would like help creating your action plan and have access to ongoing traning and support check out the Balloon Coach website and join us in Balloon Boss Mastermind - we have 3 live trainings this week to KICK OFF THE YEAR!
You are not alone in your business journey.
Thrive in 2025
Your partner in Success,
Joette
