Design Your Business Podcast

Are you an entrepreneur who is burnt out? Do you want your business to work for you instead of the other way around? Does the stress and frustration you’re feeling ever make you want to throw in the towel, give up on your dream, and start working on your resumé?

Stop right there! Host Jen Taylor understands how you feel and has answers for you.

When she started out over 15 years ago as a successful destination wedding planner in Washington and Maui, it wasn’t long before she recognized a need within the wedding and creative industries for more organized systems and processes. After all, they are the key to a happier life, both in terms of work and personal time.

Since then, she has made it her mission to help creative entrepreneurs build streamlined workflows, processes, and procedures so they can grow their business and spend their time on what they love most—their craft, their family, and their life.

If you are ready to stop reinventing the wheel and start getting the most out of your business, join Jen each week on the Design Your Wedding Business podcast where she shares the resources, strategies, and support you need.

Who am I? I am a business owner for 17 years and for 15 of those years as the owner of Taylor’d Events Group. I am a widow, I love to cook/grill and go out wine tasting with my honey, and have girlfriend dates with my ride or die, ladies. I travel around the West Coast and go to Maui any chance I get! I am getting into photography and learning how to use the smoker I got my husband, if you have a tried-and-true smoked salmon recipe send me a note! Some of my personal goals are to cook out of 1 cookbook a month and photography weekends! I love watching the Seahawks, Mariners, and hopefully the Sonics one day.

So what is my superpower? People have called me a “taskmaster”. I choose to think I am someone who can help my clients move forward and help them experience more freedom and abundance through systems, strategy, and workflow. I provide guidance and a strategy to allow them to be visionary/creative in their business. I help in the areas of their business they resent and lost the energy for. How I do that is to provide the company and their team, a strong manager, making sure day-to-day tasks run smoothly, that there is consistency in the business.

I know you want to be able to enjoy all the reasons you started your business in the first place, instead of putting out fire after fire. In order to do that, you need systems and growth strategies that turn your business from a creaky rust-bucket into a well-oiled machine. The problem is there are a lot of “unsexy” tasks that need to get done. And since you’re not sure how to best automate or outsource, you’re left grinding away day after day.

I believe it doesn’t have to be so complicated. I understand how you feel and know it may not be “fun” for you to establish business procedures that fully support your success and growth. But lucky for you, that’s what I love to do!

Let me know what bogs you down in your business, in the meantime and I can’t wait to get to know all of you!

Jen combines years of experience with actionable steps to create the life you want in the wedding industry.   Her fresh perspective is a much welcome addition to the podcast world!

Being the owner of a growing business, I don’t have a huge amount of time but these tips are perfect and short! Just enough to listen to in the car between meetings and always useful! Thanks Jen!

So excited to hear Jen launched a podcast.  She is an operations and systems expert, but breaks things down so it’s easy to digest.  Plus she has a heart of gold! Excited she’ll be in my ear buds week after week!
