So, what’s next for Balloon Bar YQR?
It’s a question I’ve been asked for years.
For a long time, my answer sounded something like: growth, better systems, enjoying the ride.
All true. But not specific enough.
As we’ve spent time defining what we want Balloon Bar to become, the vision has become much clearer. So today, I’m answering that question with confidence. ✨
1. Building Balloon Bar to $1M in annual revenue
My experience in The Forum E-Series growth cohort challenged me to think bigger and measure success differently.
The $1M milestone isn’t just a revenue target. It’s a benchmark that reflects the team we’ve built, the systems we’ve strengthened, and the business we’re intentionally creating.
We have work to do, but we’re building toward it every day.
2. Creating a franchise-ready model
A few months ago, the idea of Balloon Bar becoming a franchise felt ambitious (and a little crazy).
Today, it feels inevitable.
The more we explored what that could look like, the more I realized it aligns with everything I love about entrepreneurship: supporting women, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities for others to build something meaningful.
Our vision is to create a franchise model that allows women across Canada to own a creative, flexible business with a lower barrier to entry. 👏
3. Saying yes before we’re ready
If the first half of this year has taught me anything, it’s that some of the best opportunities arrive disguised as fear.
😳I joined The Forum E-Series growth cohort as the only entrepreneur from the Prairies and flew to Toronto to learn alongside founders and companies preparing to scale - the same week we had to pivot through a global helium shortage.
😳 I stepped onto stages and shared goals that felt intimidating to say out loud.
So, for the foreseeable future, I’m saying yes.
✨Yes to speaking opportunities, panels, and podcasts.
✨Yes to bigger product launches (coming in 2027 👏).
✨Yes to sharing more of the wins, losses, lessons, and realities behind building a business.
The next chapter of Balloon Bar is going to be bigger than balloons.
And we’re just getting started. 💪
