Rise Up #115: The PlanCast 2021

Mark Dyck: Baker and lover of bakeries
About this episode

January is often a quiet time at the bakery (at least compared to December!) so it's a great time to step back and reflect on your business and what needs attention.

In this episode, Mark shares how he and Cindy did their January planning at their bakery, and how a new book has helped him fix the gaps in his planning process.  Plus  his review of the past Covid infected holiday season.
