Tangled Rabbit (00:00) Welcome to Untangled, a podcast for founders and people considering becoming founders. This is where building a business gets personal. Each episode features honest conversations with founders about standing out in crowded markets, defining what makes them and their work different, and building something that actually fits. I'm Beth Elliott, and I'm glad you're here. Let's jump in. Tangled Rabbit (00:25) Welcome back to Untangled. I am here with Allison Phillips, founder of the Sassy Daffodil. Allison, thanks for joining me today. Alyson Phillips (00:33) Yeah, so glad to be here. Thank you. Tangled Rabbit (00:36) So one of my favorite types of clients to work with are those who are in full-time roles but have a sneaking suspicion that layoffs are coming. These are the dreamers who know that what they've been doing isn't what they're going to be doing next and they want to be ready for when that day comes. So Allison is one of those folks who had a dream while she was still working in corporate and started building towards it so that when that day came she was ready for the business that she wanted to take and lift off the ground. Allison, will you tell me a bit about the sassy daffodil? Alyson Phillips (01:09) Yeah, so I founded Sassy Daffodil Garden Consulting. It was one of those, it was definitely an evolution. It wasn't a I know exactly what it is, and it's going to be exactly that in a few years. I was learning a lot about gardening. I grew up on a farm and ranch. And so I do say that after a 25 year corporate hiatus, I've gotten back to my roots. And I've always liked nature and know, but I've also always been a consultant, a teacher, a mentor. That's just something I've always navigated towards no matter where I've been. So there's some similarities and then there's the, you know, what feels like a very radical shift. ⁓ I was really, you know, doing a lot of gardening on the side. I was seed starting and excited about the science and what I could learn about growing plants. And then I started getting into the ecological impacts of gardening and what we could do in our own yards. And I was my obsession became very real every single day. I started bringing in flowers into work so people can make bouquets or I could give them bouquets. And I could you you can see how much joy is on people's faces when you give them flowers. And that was, you know, kind of that joy and bringing people confidence through coaching. All those things were mulling around something I've already done. I did set up the LLC and wasn't quite sure. A lot of people kind of wait to do that. And I was like, I want to set that up so I can track expenses. That was my biggest thing. But I wasn't exactly sure. I was still working on the business plan and the branding and what this would look like if I could make money, if this made sense as a business. And as I put it together, and people started asking more and more questions, it started realizing this could be a gap that I can fill. And yeah, I kind of just kept going with it. It was one of those where I was discovering that this was something that I could move into. And quite honestly, yes, layoffs at corporations happen on almost an annual basis now with most places and you are at the mercy of whatever happens with the economy or your specific business that you're in. And I have made it safely through many layoffs and I was feeling like there was something coming. But I also felt like I was prepared for something different anyway. So it was just kind of one of those good timings, I guess, and things. you know after a few obstacles things kind of fell into place. Tangled Rabbit (04:05) Can you tell us a bit about the origin of the name Sassy Daffodil? Alyson Phillips (04:10) Yes, I was hiking and I was constantly trying to figure out like, how can I share my love of nature? And you know, can I mentor people? Can I do a blog on hiking? Can I do a blog on women backpacking and solo backpacking? And then I thought, well, maybe, you know, I get to travel a lot. And that was also with my corporate job. I was traveling globally and an advantage that I very much loved. loved meeting with different cultures that I've made so many friends along the way. So then I was like, maybe I could get it, you know, something like travel. And I was trying to think about if you've been a hiker on longer trips, some of them actually have like a sign in at the trailhead and you have your trail name. So if you've heard about the Appalachian Trail, people will sign in. And so I was trying to think about what would my trail name be? And along that hike, decided that it was going to be Sassy Daffodil. I have been called Sassy maybe a few times in my life. And it just seemed that adjective seems to fit. And I liked the, you know, a little bit of a whimsy to it, but also, you know, just letting people know like this is, you're going to get a little bit, it's not a hundred percent professional. We're going to have some fun. And Daffodils came from fact that they are one of the first flowers that bloom after the winter. It's also my birthday month in April and so there's always daffodils. The more you learn about the symbolism of daffodils is that they represent rebirth and resilience. Obviously they keep coming back you know after the winter and I just really liked that sense. They're very, they're a strong resilient flower. And so Sassy and Daffodil just seemed to make sense. So was actually my hiking trail name that I ended up using as my gardening handle on Instagram. That's how I have learned about gardening. That's how I have basically, and I've turned that into the business name. It just kind of flowed that way. It was not a business name to start with, but it works. Tangled Rabbit (06:26) You just alluded to the idea that there's a journey that happens when you're becoming a founder. All of the things that you could possibly do. This is part of the exploration that I love doing with clients. You'll say, oftentimes they fall into, well, what have I done in the past? How can that translate into a business? There's a freedom when you start to explore. I like to travel. I like to garden. I like to fill in the blank. How did you start, can you tell us about the journey of marrying your business to both what you felt to be true with yourself as well as a real problem that you were solving for customers? Alyson Phillips (07:09) Yeah, I, you know, again, because I like the outdoors and I've always been a coach of some sort, whether it was mentoring women. I went to school for engineering and I was all about, you know, being a strong woman, proving that we can do it and making sure other women could see that and be encouraged to do that as well. Because I appreciate the people that did that for me. It was learning how to continuously bring confidence to other women, women specifically, but I mean, anybody. If I saw somebody that didn't feel confident, especially if I was like, have every reason to be confident, I wanted to make sure they knew that. And so that's something that I've always felt like is something that is part of my job is to be that supporter, that encourager, and to give people the permission to be a little. maybe sassy, but to watch out for yourself. Take your career into your own hands. It's not somebody else's to make for you. It's yours. You can make choices. And sometimes those choices aren't popular with the people that you work with or they don't understand them. ⁓ So confidence and then that joy piece. I love to laugh. I like to make jokes. I like to sometimes make light of situations that feel a little tense. I may have caused the tense stuff sometimes, but I also think that there are so many times where we are very serious, where we are stressed, and I would want to make that a little bit lighter in cases. joy and confidence, those felt like my purpose. The nature part is something that I kind of brought in. Understanding exactly what that looked like is where the journey comes in. And, you know, there's so much talk about purpose, but that's where I feel like, okay, as long as I know that piece, now, how can I make that a career, a job, a company? And I did some soul searching, I did some workshops, of course, you know. And I started realizing that I could buy flowers from local flower farmers that were bought, that were grown chemical free. And I decided to commit to, if I bought flowers, you know, to make bouquets besides just what I was growing, because I couldn't do more. I could do some bouquets for my friends, but I couldn't do more than that. And so that's where I was like, if I expand, I committed to only using local chemical free grown flowers. which also means in Minnesota that I only have a short season during the summer. I can't provide flowers all year round. And that was a decision I committed to early on. Kind of that organic, sustainable, stay local, small business supporting. I... When I found out I had two sources locally that I absolutely love and adore that I could go get flowers from as a wholesaler, then I started doing bouquet bars or bouquet workshops, flower bars. They're called a lot of different things, but it's essentially me create, you know, pulling in the flowers, prepping the flowers, and then taking them somewhere to do a flower bar where people can find joy and even confidence in making their own bouquet. And then that led me into talking a lot more about where these flowers come from and what I do in my garden. And there were so many questions that also led to, ⁓ there could be something beyond flower bars. then I get into, let's make a business plan. I did not do a 70 page business plan. Mine was two pages. And it was really understanding how many flower bars would I have to do to make money. And that very quickly showed me, unless I want to buy brick and mortar and become a florist, which that did not feel, doing stressful events did not feel like that was going to bring me joy. And I didn't want to get into brick and mortar. That seemed like an expense, at least right now, that I didn't want to get into. So. Then I started the coaching around the gardening piece. So how do you grow those flowers and how do you support the environment, the pollinators, native plants, and really sharing that knowledge around integrating native plants into urban gardens. And I was understanding there was a pretty large gap for people that wanted to do that. And I'll often tell people that I fill that gap between the large landscaping project that includes a lot of hardscape, you know, your deck or a patio, you know, those kinds of things. And asking a kid at Home Depot what you should plant somewhere. And there's a big gap between that. And there's a big financial gap and knowledge gap. And that's where I was like, I think there's an opportunity here. And the more that I explored that it's, I that has continuously been validated by people that are referring people to me as Tangled Rabbit (12:02) You Alyson Phillips (12:17) The native plant lady, she knows what to do. She knows how to design with these things. So your home doesn't necessarily look like you've abandoned it when the natives grow too tall. So I do have kind of rules on how I design with the natives. ⁓ Yeah, mean, that's just a snippet of how it's evolved, I guess. Tangled Rabbit (12:37) the one thing that I really love about this podcast is giving insight to folks on the complexity that happens when you're a founder. Part of this, part of the things that we work through is the trial and error. There are things that sound really great when you put them into your business plan. I almost get a little bit aggravated at how soon some organizations force the business plan. Because there's a lot of exploration and trial and error of going out. I want to try this with my customers. How much can I get my customers to pay for this? What's the value of it? And then being like, well, OK, that's the lift of what it took to do that thing. How many of those things do I need to sell a year to have the life that I want? Was that even worth the squeeze, if you will, to make is that the life that I want to be living? I like the part of your story where there are doors that closed. Hey, I thought that was gonna travel a lot, but now I'm really into my local community. I thought I could do bouquet bars, but man, I'd have to have 300 clients to make it work, and that's not sustainable. That will hurt my soul if I have to do that. So all of these little decisions based off of real input that has now gotten you to this place of being able to define yourself. in this sweet spot of between Home Depot Kid and hardscaping major landscapers, it is a need. It's something that's not out there. I always tell people, do you know how to find your audience? Do you know how to explain yourself? And do you know how to solve a problem that they know that they have? And it sounds like you're finding your way in that space. Alyson Phillips (14:27) Yes. And I think there's many points in an entrepreneur's life where they have to decide where they're going to take the risks. Right? And for me, in having conversations with other people, you know, I know that part of the piece of having confidence in yourself is to take a risk on yourself. And I put money down on the largest Home of Garden show in the Twin Cities or probably the Midwest and said, I'm going to have a booth when I launch my brand officially beyond the flower bars. And that was a big deal. I've done booths in corporate many, many times, but I had a lot of support when we did those. But I, that's a nice thing with my corporate life. I was an engineer in manufacturing and worked on business and product management. And then I also went into marketing. So I had a background that I could kind of balance those two things and do more for kind of myself than some people that might only have a one lane that they worked in, in some cases. ⁓ So my risk was I'm going to put money down on this show without knowing exactly how I was gonna do it. And I think that was the biggest thing is it was like my first major commitment. to myself, to the business. And I had to figure out how to do it. I had three months to pull together. I had been doing my brand kind of on the side. I had my cousin from Montana who had just graduated in graphic design and she helped me with the brand, which was awesome, because we both have our roots in Montana and she helped me with the brand. But then I had to take that brand kit and now come up with my marketing materials, my marketing message. And so I was now doing what I'd done in corporate for myself, which was interesting. It was really nice to have kind of that autonomy to do things that I, you This is how I want to represent myself. I had to put together what the booth was going to look like, what I was going to do. The show itself is five days straight. They are eight to 10 hour days. And I had a few people that were like, you know, as you're doing this, do you need any help with the booth? I think some people that understood a trade show for five days for one person is a lot. So I started recruiting. said, you know, you'll get a free ticket to the show if you help me for a two-hour shift and I had 12 people step up to help me throughout that time. So having support like that was amazing but it also it just kept driving me. The validation was and I was really nervous right? I didn't know what was going to happen. Am I going to stand in this booth for five days and not talk to anybody? But I also realized that if I make some partnerships and we can talk about that more too, partnerships have been huge. Knowing where your people are and who they're connected to and how you can get to them is huge. So I had already through Instagram and through my gardening in general, been connected with the Minnesota horticulture society. They do the Northern Gardener magazine. And so I knew that if I placed my booth near them, I would at least have some people that were interested in gardening themselves because they sell Dahlia tubers and some different things. And so I could be close enough to people that maybe wanted help with that. And it turned out that worked out pretty well. I had, I booked 20 consults of total strangers that week and I had no idea what it was gonna be. And I definitely considered that a success and went out and I was, you know, doing consults on site with people. And some of them it was, have the hour and I'm answering questions and I'm helping you and you're going to do it on your own. And some of them turned into design work. It was about 50-50. And so that's kind of what kicked it off. if I wouldn't have invested in myself, I would have been pushing a lot harder to get marketing to work, to get out to people, whether it's paid ads online, but being hyper-focused. really did help me. Tangled Rabbit (18:49) want to push on that because there's one thing about investing in yourself. There are so many people I work with who serve everybody. Their niche has not been clarified yet. And so what I hear you saying is investing in yourself with clarity. I know that my place is the home and gardens show. I know I want to be next to horticultural society. I know how I'm going to brand this so I'm getting the right clients in. It's a whole different game when you're like, well, anybody could use my services and I'm going to go to all of these trade shows and I'm going to do all of the networking events. And then you get into a place of burnout and scarcity. Whereas you are seeing this place of opportunity because you know your company so well and what your fit is. Alyson Phillips (19:42) 100%. I am huge on finding a niche and really driving that ⁓ at corporate as well. You can't try to serve everybody and it's in our human nature to say everybody's a customer. But I personally have found that as I define, like I want to be the expert that can help people in their garden. Most of my clients are DIY. They're homeowners, but they're stressed and overwhelmed with what's going on outside. They don't know where to start. Maybe they lost a tree in their yard and now they have a bunch of sun. Now what do I do? Or they bought a new home and have no idea what's going on outside. Or they want to keep it that way, but they don't know how. Or they've started to realize pollinators are really important to our entire ecosystem and they want to add the native. pocket prairie in their backyard in an urban area. How do I do that? A lot of people without having any guidance get one of those seed packets that says wildflowers and throw it out and hope for the best. ⁓ So that it the more people that we're asking not just that they wanted to support the bees. We've progressed, which is so exciting to see. You know, I think Minnesotans kind of lead the charge in this they are asking for, want to plant native plants. They knew even more so what needed to happen to support the pollinators. But there's so much more education to be done around our ecological methods and not using chemicals and how do herbicides and pesticides affect the monarch population? The monarchs are endangered. Adding milkweed is a way to support monarchs. It's their host plant. Most people only know common milkweed and their association with it is it spreads everywhere. I can't put that in my yard. I have a solution because there are actually, did you know, like 10 different kinds of milkweed. And I always use rose milkweed because it's in my yard. It doesn't spread as much. It doesn't spread underground and by seed. So there are different ways to make that work better. And when people would light up and I also would have multiple people, as you can imagine, ⁓ They're like, I could feel your passion. And they're like, I want to work with somebody that's passionate, that's knowledgeable and is listening to me, not pushing what they want or how they're going to make money. so yeah, it was, and the more people that would hear about me, they'd tell other people and they're like, well, yeah, sassy daffodil, which is another thing is the name itself. does get some recognition. Like, I love the name or, I've even had a couple people like, oh, I had to come see you. I just had to meet Sassy Daffodil. So that's fun. But I think the biggest thing is when you find your partners and they know what you do to the extent that they can recommend you. If you are serving everybody, you're like all the other landscapers they know or designers or garden helpers. Right? But if they know your specific thing, it's going to ring a bell in their head more quickly and specifically for you. So that's where the niche, I think, is so helpful. It kind of helps you market yourself. Tangled Rabbit (23:11) For the founders who are out there listening or emerging founders, I want you to clue into the excitement piece. When you find, because you are often a team of one, and when you find that person who understands their market so well and they are so passionate and they have an energy about them, people want to work with that person. That's like, if you can get your company to that spot, if you can get around a thing that you have joy when you are talking to people about it Alison is not professing to be the expert of all experts of all things. I get into all of the places that are landscape design. She is passionate about this very specific piece that people want from her because she's the one who is the most excited and seems the most knowledgeable in the spaces that she's stepping into. People want that energy with the vendors that they work with. I also want to tap on your name, right? I have Tangled Rabbit. You have Sassy Daffodil. The number of people who are like, That is so great. Tell me the story of your name. It makes you instantly sticky. Have you seen that for your business as well? Alyson Phillips (24:38) Yes, especially going to, networking is huge for a solopreneur, right? Whether it's going to a chamber of commerce event, a networking event, or, you know, professional groups. And then in lot of them, you get a chance to introduce yourself to the group or introduce yourself to somebody else. And if you have the words that sound like everybody else, guess what, you also sound like everybody else. If you start with Who doesn't need more joy and confidence in the world? And they're like, what? I'm Alison Phillips from Sassy Daffodil Garden Consulting. And it is a little bit of a mouthful, but they either hear Sassy Daffodil, but here's the thing, when they hear garden consulting, they're like, wait, what did you say? That's a thing? I need you, right? They hear. I have never heard that before. And it's starting to become a thing across the US. And now I'm also knowing more people within Minnesota that do it. There's a bunch of little polka dots of us around the state. But it gets people's attention for sure. When they might be like, ⁓ we're just listening to everybody's professional commercial for 30 seconds. It gets people to stop. Tangled Rabbit (25:57) I wanted to pivot a little bit. What did you have to overcome as you stepped into being a founder? Alyson Phillips (26:04) I really do believe that over time I was learning to be where I am now. and there was a lot of, you know, I had time to kind of figure some of those things out, especially because I was doing some stuff on the side. I do like change. I moved from Montana to outside of Chicago. I was an engineer, moved into marketing. I like the change, I like the new challenge. So in some ways, I was probably primed for entrepreneurship at some point. So as far as overcoming, it wasn't as much the, I almost wanted to leap. I kind of wanted to prove that to myself and give myself that chance to try this out. But I was not prepared for something that may sound a little bit simple, but every entrepreneur goes through this. The first time I was told that my price was too high. I was not prepared at all. I was on the phone and it caught me off guard. And part of me was like, how did you get caught off guard like that? It's not that I was so arrogant. It's just that I seriously like, I wasn't ready for it. I hadn't prepared for that. I was preparing for all the other things, right? The marketing, finding business, know, getting my graph paper, whatever it was. And I stumbled through the conversation, hung up, and I started to cry. It was for sure this, like, this is the thing. need to, you you start second guessing. So that was one where I was confident about a lot of things that I just realized they hit the button that I maybe wasn't as confident about, even though I'd done research. you know, when it's the first time that somebody tells you that and it's going to happen. Damn it. But I had a group of women that we met every other week and it was so supportive. That's something for sure. We need our support system. And I, you know, we were going around, how was your week? And I'm like, okay, this happened. and the response immediately, which were things that maybe I knew in the back of my head, but it was so nice to hear it from other people that had gone through it too, their response to me was, that wasn't your customer. Just like a large hardscape person isn't my customer because I don't do that. I also don't do... really cheap work, right? I'm putting time in it. My time is valuable. I am valuable. And I think that's where, like, if you really hit the core of it, it felt like I was being told I wasn't valuable, right? It wasn't just because my price. It was they didn't value me. And so constantly reminding myself that wasn't my customer. My prices are valuing me. And I still struggle with that because I also feel like I've done enough research to know my prices were cheap. mean, they're cheap because I'm still figuring some of those things out. But the other thing is they just didn't know, right? Because nobody knows what garden consulting is, they also don't have any idea how much it costs. And the consultation in the front end is... not so expensive. keep that as a, you know, it's an opening to help teach people. And if they like me and they want to work with me and they like what I have to offer at that point, then we move into design or I go plant shopping with them or I do project management or coach them, speak, whatever. But a lot of it is they meet me and they want to work with me. And it's okay if some people are like, that's, that's actually not, you know, we aren't looking to do that. We just want to throw some boxwoods in the front. Okay. You don't need me for that. But it was definitely, it was a journey. I'm so glad I had support and I continue to work on that, you know, whether it's starting with the day with a power stance or I'm worth it, whatever it is. Sometimes we need to talk ourselves up, know, especially as I'm giving people estimates for design ⁓ because they generally haven't gotten a design estimate. I know that it's a lot less than if they'd ever done a large landscaping project. But yeah, so I would say I'm still working through that one. Tangled Rabbit (30:42) You have a unique perspective as somebody who started planning their business before they were out of their full-time role. So given that perspective, what advice would you give to others who are sitting in that same seat? Alyson Phillips (30:56) We used to believe, I think generally, that loyalty was rewarded. And it was. It used to be. Larger corporations were the safe place to be, the cushy place to be. That isn't the case anymore. And it's a previous generation where my parents were like, what do you mean you might leave? And believe me, over 25 years ago when I started, I didn't think I was going to be leaving. I chose a company that I could stay with because I could do so many different things. It was like moving companies within. And that was great for me, somebody who likes change. ⁓ And so that was also something I had overcome a little bit with my identity as this corporate employee. I've taken my career as something I control. It doesn't mean that things always happen the way I expected them to, believe me. But I had a choice. If I was offered a job, I had a choice on whether that fit what I wanted to do. And I told some people no, that was okay. And so that also meant that as I was feeling the need to do something different, I was prepping for that. I think that's really important in this day and age because I know unfortunately so many people are getting hit with layoffs that they weren't expecting because maybe they survived the past five and now this one came through. One, 100 % I'm gonna tell every single person that you need a financial advisor and a certified financial planner. Absolutely be talking to somebody no matter how much money you do or don't have. have somebody that you can talk to about the financial implications of change in your life, whatever that looks like. That was huge for me because we'd been planning for retirement at this age. You know, was going to stay at the corporation retirement at this age. And then I did this whole after 15 years of working with her, what if? ⁓ And she's like, well, that's a pivot, you know? you know, she went and ran the numbers and we kind of looked at that. And so that that gave me more confidence in understanding at least what does that look like as opposed to having that be completely unknown. So financially, but then also prepping for what are you awesome at? And sometimes we don't know sometimes we're in a role that we aren't awesome at or we aren't our skills are being leveraged. And I think that was partly where I was. you, this is an opportunity when you're laid off to find that. And that's also scary because sometimes you're at the absolute lowest that you've ever been. So if you start doing that before you're laid off, you're in a better position ⁓ to at least find something that you could actually enjoy, you could excel at, and helps bridge that gap between when you're told and when the money may run out or you know, benefits. That's the other thing that come through. How do we, I just need a place to work for benefits. So understanding the options, I think gives you the ability to be prepared if and when that may happen. Tangled Rabbit (34:29) The thing that I also want to direct our audience to is so often I see founders limit themselves to the things that were on their resume. They will say things like, well, who would trust me to be a master gardener? if you don't hear anything else from this podcast today, it's give yourself permission to lean into those things. that bring you such wild joy and be skeptical of the people who tell you that you're not enough as you are and need to build a business that isn't who you are today. How does that, how do you, what do you hear when you hear me say that? What things resonate? Alyson Phillips (35:23) part of my heart sinks because as you heard before, I want people to be confident in who they are. And yes, every single person has amazing gifts that sometimes just aren't sparkling or they're in the shadows right now. And it could be a little bit of a journey to figure out what is that, especially if you're in a low spot. ⁓ But people like Beth and Tangled Rabbit work with, you know, through that, right? To help you understand that. Because sometimes you just got to get out of your own head. It's hard to look back at yourself if there's some reflection, it's emotional. But I think that's what can be really important. And that's, you some of the work that I was doing to figure out ultimately my core, my whole life has been that joy and confidence piece and nature. And then it was figuring out how those come together. I also think that, and I had to do this probably the most when I changed from engineering to marketing, I had to figure out different words to describe who I was. Because as I told people I was an engineer, believe it or not, there's a stereotype. Tangled Rabbit (36:40) Weird. Alyson Phillips (36:44) People would tell me after they got to know me or even in beginning, you don't seem like an engineer. But it was also interesting that as I got into marketing, some people would say, you don't seem like a marketer or they've never questioned it, which is interesting. But I had to learn things like I'm a problem solver. I've always been a problem solver. I'm a consultant. I'm an internal person that can help see your problems and figure out what are the right solutions with my expertise and your expertise. Right? I don't have to be the expert. I don't have some of these people's yards or, those kinds of things. I'm the expert in how to integrate native plants. They're the expert in what they want to have happen in their life. And we work together to find a way to make an outdoor oasis that they love. So it's understanding where your expertise lies and maybe even changing the vocabulary around that a little bit. And that's where getting somebody to help and bounce ideas off of can be really helpful. Tangled Rabbit (37:51) Thank you for taking the time with us today to share your story.
