819 Sarah Wilson: It’s a ‘Chip’ Show

The Art of Keeping It Simple and Putting Your Customer First

Ask any woman who has built a fast-scaling business while raising young kids and she’ll likely be making an understatement when she tells you, “it wasn’t easy”. And yet odds are it’s forced her to overcome perfectionism, learn how to delegate, and understand the scaling principles of leverage.

When Sarah Wilson was pregnant with the first of her four children, she had irrepressible cravings for chocolate chip cookies.

But back then there was no Door Dash delivery option. So, what if many other women like her had the same cravings? It was a question that began with deep market research and testing out her idea with a specific type of customer on a very small scale.

Sarah shares how she balanced the fast growth of her business Chip Cookies with being a mom to four young kids, plus the secrets of lean startup, keeping it simple, and being relentlessly focused on pleasing your customers.

  • How to de-risk your startup
  • Why market research and testing your hypotheses early before investing serious cash is vital to success
  • Why the customer should always be your highest priority
  • How to balance growing a fast-scaling business with motherhood
  • How to be a master delegator
  • The art of keeping it simple
  • How to create consumer demand
  • How to build a franchise business
  • And much more
