The Power of Pulse Watering

This week is all about the information that people need to see and need to be able to see about your any business, but in particular your Flower Farming Business inorder to buy from you.

It's about making it easy for your customers to know that you are right for them. And it's about being honest and clear with your words and your pictures.

All of the information that you need to make this happen is in your Business Plan.

This episodes is all about board games. Every board game has a different way of working. Every board game encourages you to use different skills and understanding those skills has helped me to plan our Flower Availability for 2025. Listen to learn how.
