The 47th Friday Four
Thanks for catching up with the Friday Four series, simply the 4 weekly highlights from behind the scenes at Tura Lura Co. in West Branch.
It’s the time of year to be sharing gratitude. And I’m feeling that there is loads to be thankful for, while holding onto hope as I look towards the new year. I was reflecting on the people in the entrepreneur space who who have supported TLCo. and wanted to share out a few who have made a difference in Tura Lura this year! Feel free to reply back and tell me what you are grateful for this year! The more we express appreciation and thankfulness to others, the better.
Let’s get into it!
I want to share gratitude with the talented family photographer who helped capture and share the joy of the last year in West Branch. She’s an EXCELLENT photographer in the area and wonderful to work with. If you are looking for someone to help document the joy in your life, check out Jessica Schroeder Photography. Thank you Jess!
My business buddies who helped me gain skills over the last few years, and have continued to be great resources this year are on my list to thank! Katie with Riverside Writing who helped me touch up all my language and communications, Robin Springer Consulting who launched my understand of business finances, and Ellen with Balanced Birth for all the brainstorming and encouragement. Thank you Katie, Robin, & Ellen! (Also, I highly recommend all these local services as I am a consumer of all of them!)
Dodge Street Coffee Shop is an inspiration of pivoting and transitioning, and I’ve appreciated learning from their owner Jamie these last few years. Check out their brand new location in the South District of IC at Pepperwood Plaza (home of the Diversity Market) that just opened and grab some delicious coffee and scones! Thank you Jamie!
And finally, I have to share my gratitude to the Builders + Backers team. This is the program where I got my entrepreneurship education. Who continues to provide such high quality education, programming, and mentorship. The research shows that while many people have ideas, only 8% of people move on getting those into action. They invest in people to teach them the skills to move into action. And for that, I am extremely grateful.
That’s all for this week! Next week I’m going to share my favorite small businesses to shop at this holiday season :)
Happy Friday!
Erika
P.S. The last open Candle Pour Bar of 2024 is happening next Friday!
