What a pleasure it was for me to meet and talk with Bree Bacon, author of Your Elite Energy. Her book talks about burn out, what it looks like, how much it costs us and why there isn't a one size fits all answer to fix it. The good news is she takes you step by step through the process. I enjoyed talking with Bree and I'm anxious to finish the book so that I can avoid burning myself out!! http://ceildi.libsyn.com/467-bree-bacon-your-elite-energy?tdest_id=3014303

What fun to talk with siblings and fourth generation leaders at Stout Textiles, Kate Greenawalt and John Greenawalt. Stout is a great resource for me and close by, so I have been to their offices frequently. It was great to hear how they started working at the company and why they love working there. I hope you enjoy hearing from John and Kate today. http://ceildi.libsyn.com/460-kate-greenawalt-and-john-greenawalt-from-stout-textiles?tdest_id=3014303

While it's always fun to talk with Susan Woodcock, this was a fun one to record because of the options it gives us in our businesses. And do you say "nitch" or "neesh"?

On this episode, Ceil DiGuglielmo and Susan Woodcock talk about specializing your workroom business for a niche market.
