I am a mom to three, big maw maw to seven. I've been married for 18+ years, counting the days down to the BIG 20 so we can open up a great bottle of wine.

My husband and I also own a wine bar in our town we live in, called Library Wine & Provisions. 

I am the founder of Sweet Baton Rouge®, a local Louisiana business I created from scratch with no marketing plan, just a little grit and lots of geaux! This business will hit 15 years in October and by far has been my most professional career doing what I love, marketing. I have built systems and habits to stay consistent and vision focused on our goals at hand. In 2024 I started a second business, Petey’s Press, to bring all of our production in-house to screen print as our business has always been centered around locally designed & printed t-shirts. 


Hey everyone, and welcome to Winning Wednesday! This is your weekly dose of encouragement and inspiration from The Nouveau Podcast.

I know running a small business can be tough. There are long hours, unexpected challenges, and moments when you just want to throw in the towel. But I'm here to tell you: you're not alone!

Every Wednesday, we'll take a few minutes to celebrate your wins, big or small. We'll share inspiring stories from fellow entrepreneurs, offer practical tips for overcoming challenges, and remind you why you started your business in the first place.

So, let's get started!

(Sound of a gentle, motivational music)

This week, I want to talk about the power of perseverance. Building a successful business takes time, effort, and a whole lot of resilience. There will be setbacks and obstacles along the way, but it's important to remember why you started and keep moving forward.

Here’s a quote from Walt Disney: "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

It's so easy to get caught up in planning and strategizing, but sometimes you just need to take that first step and start creating. Don't be afraid to experiment, to try new things, and to learn from your mistakes.

Remember, every successful entrepreneur has faced challenges and setbacks along the way. The key is to keep learning, keep growing, and keep moving forward.

So, this Winning Wednesday, I challenge you to take action on something you've been putting off. Whether it's launching that new product, reaching out to a potential client, or finally updating your website, just do it!

And don't forget to share your wins with us! Tag us on social media and use the hashtag #WinningWednesday. We want to celebrate your successes with you!

That's it for this week's Winning Wednesday. Until next time, cheers to a successful and fulfilling week! If you enjoyed this episode, please don't forget to download and subscribe to The Nouveau Podcast. You can find us on all major podcast platforms.
