Jill Craven on Building a Successful Cheer Gym

Episode 1

StarStruck AllStars has enjoyed 7-17% growth every year since inception 10+ years ago.
Hear how founder, Jill Craven, built the business, including the importance of time management, continuous learning, and investing conservatively. In this episode:

Jill & Penny discuss their friendship and the lessons learned together in their direct sales businesses including hacks like "move the matches", the DIN DIN Club, and Feel-Felt-Found. And how to adapt those to today's challenges.
Before, during, and after, there was dance, choreography, dedication, and long hours. And children.
Then came cheer and learning new skills while teaching them.
Through it all, making kids feel seen, supporting students in building strength and resilience, work ethic, and friendships.
Then there was the Patrick Swayze story.
The neighbor who dropped in at 3am.
And the awkward cheers. Ahhh... the 80's.
Plus why we love our Rewined Subscriptions.
