005. Why Starting Small Produces Big Success with Alena Vaughn

Small Business Big Heart with Amber Zaricor

If you're a new business owner or are in the processing of dreaming and scheming that business idea, you know how easy it is to fall into shiny object syndrome. Whether it's the top-rated podcast mic (ehem, guilty), the overly expensive build-out, or the wide range vs. one quality product -- we've all been seduced by building BIG instead of starting small.

Today's guest, Alena Vaughn, is such a great example of finding contentment in the slow roll and growing your business wisely. As a professional pastry chef, Alena spent years paying her dues. From working at the Ritz Carlton to opening her humble, home-based bakery, she took her time growing her skill and learning her industry. In 2018, her dream finally came to fruition, and she opened the beautiful (and wildly successful) Triple Crown Bakery right here in Franklin, TN.

Today we'll hear Alena's start-up story, and how she learned that small steps lead to giant leaps. We discuss the power behind small business to small business relationships and how building that little community is so key to our mental health. We talk about Alena's secret to stability and contentment and how she's released worry from her business mindset.

So how did Alena start small and build such a successful bakery business? How did she does keep her team and herself so happy and fulfilled? I know you’re going to get so much from this interview, and I can’t wait to hear what resonates!
