“The key to success is to start before you are ready” - Marie Forleo "Success is not a destination, it's a journey." This mantra has been the heartbeat of Desbaked's remarkable voyage. With a vision that soared high and a commitment to continuous improvement, we transformed our passion into a triumph that continues to inspire. From the first sprinkle of flour to the most intricate cake creation, every step was a testament to our dedication. We set our sights on excellence, and every day became an opportunity to refine our craft. Through creativity, innovation, and unyielding effort, we baked our way to success. We embraced challenges, celebrated victories, and never stopped striving for better. Each cake that left our kitchen was more than a dessert – it was a slice of our commitment to growth and greatness. Today, as we reflect on our journey, we're reminded that success is not just about reaching a goal; it's about the unceasing pursuit of betterment. It's the dedication of every team member, the trust of our clients, and the love of our creations that have propelled Desbaked to where it stands today. Here's to the journey that transformed passion into triumph, and to the road ahead that promises even more sweet success. #DesbakedJourney #ContinuousImprovement #BakingSuccess #PassionToTriumph #StrivingForExcellence #InnovateAndInspire #SweetVictories #BakersJourney #FromGoodToGreat #SuccessIsAJourney

There's no better endorsement than "eating your own dog food". Or drinking your own champagne (if the above sounds gross). I love talking about and reading about Forecasting. I have even seen the term Week 3 forecast pop up on Linkedin. I also know that most consider the first true quarterly forecast - in Week 3 - as being way too late. "You need to forecast by Day 3". "Coz. that's what the CEO expects". So Week 3 has been a time frame I have deployed. For over 10 years now. And I measure the accuracy of the forecast against my Week 3 prediction. Coz "anyone can forecast to 98% accuracy" in the last week of the quarter. Week 3 also drives predictability and therefore stability into the business. It means that if the CEO is confident (95%) that the number will line up to a tight range of Likely to Best (again my terms), then said CEO can start planning for the next 2-3 quarters ahead. Coz. it takes time to see an impact on money spent now. For future quarter impact. So I am "eating my own dog food". Our company deploys a forecasting process very similar to the above. And hopefully we are driving predictability into the business than allows us to invest for future success. That's why we forecast. And why it's so important. #forecasting #leadership #revenueoperations

What it means to me to be a Leader. Today I got to experience one of, if not the most uplifting moment! I started off the day with our Daily Huddle. The lynch-pin to the culture that is instilled by Scenthound, myself and my team. Improving the environment, teamwork, and being uncomfortable were my biggest areas of focus for our Saturday.! By having these conversations with the team, it really opened up their eyes in to what is possible and what growth can mean to them. My favorite takeaway was hearing everyone dive in to their favorite values behind our focuses for today. Here our my favorite value callouts. One pack - We are a confident team of building a healthier future for every dog, trusting that someone will be there to support their needs and having our mission in mind. Make a difference - Our purpose and our love for each team member and every dog. (Transformation: We make sure we’re excited for their dogs health, making sure they see trends of a happier healthier life). Dog first - Always advocating with each other and parents, what’s important for their dog needs, and what’s important for the safety of them and the team. We love dogs.! Seek growth - Leading to lead and having the courage to become uncomfortable and confident. I hope to see everyone succeed in their journey of growth. #loveacleandog #leadership #growth #team #onepack

It's Food for Thought Friday! It's a four-course meal starting with my latest foodie adventure + three servings of insightful and thought-provoking posts from around LinkedIn. Here we go! First course: Cilantro is a polarizing topic. It seems that either you love it or you hate it. I'm a cilantro lover. Here's a chicken tikka masala meal I made this week. That's about the perfect amount of cilantro for me. Are you a cilantro lover too? Second course: "Bring me solutions, not problems" is a common leadership phrase, one I've always agreed with and promoted. So I bristled a bit when I saw Lisa Friscia, SHRM-SCP recommend we retire it. But she's got a better approach. Get her helpful tips here: https://lnkd.in/eu7CPAqy Third course: Many things can be true at the same time. This is important. Erin O'Mara explains why so well in this post. Go here before you start your weekend: https://lnkd.in/epVKk3ih? Fourth course: Daniel Findlay is on a mission to support introverts and get more into leadership. And I'm here for it. Louder ≠ better. There's room for everyone. Watch Daniel's quick video on this topic: https://lnkd.in/e6npH4_H I hope you enjoyed these tasty morsels. Which one stood out most to you today?

Wisdom is a 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 Wisdom versus Knowledge To become more decisive you must factor both knowledge and wisdom into decision-making. “Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.” ~ Miles Kington #fridaythoughts #leadershipmoments #competitiveedge #powerfulthoughts #payitforward #mindset
