Today we’re visiting with Tina Sharpe, owner of Living Fresh Home Goods & Flower Shop in St. Jacobs, Ontario.

Tina has woven together a business model uniquely built on her life experiences - first managing garden centers and greenhouses, then studying floral and interior design, and ultimately finding the love of her life, moving her business to the charming Village of St. Jacobs, and restructuring to a 4-day work week alongside her husband which leaves time for travel and rest.
 
If you find yourself wondering how business challenges, setbacks, and redirections can strengthen your flower business and lead to the life you really want to live, Tina's story will encourage you to keep moving forward while holding on to the things that are important to you.

Join us as we talk with Tina about:

  • The challenges and evolution of sourcing flowers in her area
  • Learning to find balance by recognizing her personal capacity
  • Moving her business to an area that fits her personal and professional values
  • Changing her tagline to reflect the progression of Living Fresh
  • Changing her processes to meet her personal goals
  • Relieving herself of dread by listening and acting on her gut
  • The importance of finding community with other flower professionals
