Today we’d like to introduce you to Emily Sadler.
Emily, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I started ETC. on a wing and a prayer. The truth is, after several years of working in hospitality and management, I couldn’t find a job and with two teenage boys to feed that was a huge problem. I often hear the term “leap of faith”. I actually think that in most situations it’s more of a push than a leap and then if you are lucky you find out that you have wings. I am truly lucky, rather blessed, I have found my wings.
For the first year, it truly was ETC. by Emily. I was a soloprenuer wearing all the hats, working crazy hours and just trying to get by. My hard work brought more business, along with opportunity, and so I grew; becoming ETC. by Emily and Haley and then ETC. by Emily, Haley and Lexi and then… you get my point.
What I found is that the number one thing that businesses need to grow is people. Good people. You can be the best at something but one person alone can only do so much. Without good help, businesses are at a stand-still at best. What the ETC. The team does is take people’s lives and businesses to the next level by providing them bright, shiny (brilliant), happy people!
My passion, my gift is being able to connect passionate business owners with Bright, Shiny, Happy People and in doing so everyone wins. My clients are both my ETC. clients and my ETC. team. We all have dreams and my wish is to make everyone’s come true!
Has it been a smooth road?
Smooth? I’m not sure I would call it that. Like every other business owner starting out, I learned as I went. We grew very large very quickly… so as we grew we worked continually on making sure our operations team could seamlessly handle our growth. As we move into a new market that is still something we are very conscious of. There is this balancing act between sales and operations that must continually be evaluated. Growth is great, but we will never be willing to grow at a rate that hurts our quality. We are all about quality, not quantity.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with ETC. by Emily LLC. – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
ETC. is an event staffing company. What sets us apart is that all of our team is bright, shiny and happy – and I’m not just saying that – they really are! One of the compliments we hear the most is “Your team is so willing” I think our name alone helps to understand the reason for that. No one goes into an event thinking it’s only my job too. They understand it is their job to happily do whatever needs to be done.
I am most proud of the community that ETC. has become. The team truly loves and cares about each other – it is amazing to watch!
