Women make up 51% of the population yet only 13% of women are represented professionally in art galleries - let alone running them!
Sarah shares about her journey and success path as a young professional and discusses how she overcame business challenges like managing cash flow and making strategic spend decisions... to societal expectations in a male-dominated industry... to creating a business that ranks in the top 6% of all women-owned businesses in the US - by the age of 30!
The RealTalk with Sarah includes:
Challenges of multiplying her time as a newer, but growing company and how staffing up too fast created a financial burden that became overwhelming.
How she recalibrated, learned her financials and her break-even numbers to invest and spend efficiently
Hired a right-hand person - someone who compliments Sarah with a different skill set to tackle things that she doesn’t like or want to do
Empowering herself to say NO to spend, requests and commitments that didn’t serve her or her business
You’ll also hear how Sarah and her team made a Covid-19 Pivot that took a physical art gallery and painstakingly and thoughtfully got it all online to serve her client base and survive the pandemic shutdowns and will likely double her revenue by doing so in the long term.
On a personal note, Sarah shares how she has learned to “give herself grace”, celebrate the small victories and her mantra: “The best thing that you can do is cheer other people on selflessly.”
