How’s everyone doing this week? Any goals to accomplish? Mine: trying to launch my FALL menu and having to train the kitchen crew on prep, cook, and execution takes some time! Especially with something like pho from a family recipe and me not being there often! I’ll get it done! Hope you’re all well! Any questions I can help answer?

Tell me what’s on your mind. Share what’s been stalling you… having you lose sleep at night. I’ll go first. For the past two weeks, revenue drastically declined. I actually lost sleep because I know how hard my team and I work. We try to market, make reels, bring on new items. I was slacking on creativity on my social media since I had to take a medical hiatus. That really hurt my business account! Constantly wondering “what’s going on?! Where are the people?” got really concerning. Then it hit me. I had to pivot my strategy. Even if it meant making silly reels, controversial (lightly) reels, or change my approach so I’m not like everyone else. Because our goal in this academy is to NOT be cookie cutter business owners. We are to be authentically ourselves! And it worked! META showed that my views went from 20k audience to over 48k without paying for ads or boosting my posts. Now, I don’t have a huge following, BUT the value from these followers are actually paying customers who come to get our food. So whatever obstacle you’re encountering right now- let’s tackle this giant and get you on your way to success!

Hi! How are you all doing today? Do you have a pretty long agenda to get accomplished?

Winning doesn't always mean it has to be a huge accomplishment. Quite literally, if you got up an hour earlier than you normally do, that's considered a win. Why? Because a change in our normal routine to better ourselves will produce positive results if done with good intention. Sometimes as business owners, we strive to win at everything we do, but the reality of it is, we're constantly putting out fires, solving problems, negotiating better rates and deals to keep our profit margins at a reasonable amount (livable amount), etc. All the daily obligations may make us feel like lesser winners. So today, let's start with: WHAT'S YOUR WIN FOR TODAY? (You can totally do this at the end of the night when the day is done :) )

It looks like we're welcoming more members! Please feel free to introduce yourself! I wanted to see if you guys would be interested in live Q&A's (weekly) at a time that'll work for you all? Can't decide if early morning coffee chats (virtual) or evenings would work so let's hear your thoughts! This will be an open forum to ask questions, share your concerns and obstacles, and I'll help shed some insight on how to help.
