Building Relationships as Your Business Superpower

Expand Your Reach

filed in

Interview with Megan Gillikin

“If I could have someone hear just one major takeaway, it’s shift your focus from showing up and sharing heavily about your business and put the emphasis on showing up with curiosity, being authentically who you are so that you attract people that are going to see you, are going to love your business, are going to get behind wanting to refer you, and just be willing to learn from others and receive feedback along the way.”

Relationships and content are key when it comes to running a successful business and if you’ve listened to this podcast, it’s something you’ve heard us say many times before. In today’s episode, we’re discussing the relationship side of that equation.

Megan Gillikin of The Planner’s Vault, joins me to discuss how you can make building relationships your business’s superpower. We discuss the importance of building relationships, and how it turned around her business, the impact relationships can have on business, and practical tips for building strong relationships.

Megan Gillikin is a sought-after business coach, serial entrepreneur, top-ranked podcast host and international speaker who guides heart-centered, high-achieving entrepreneurs from the woes of overwhelm and burnout to the success they want most by equipping them with tools, resources and mindset shifts to help them thrive in all areas of life. 

After building and selling a successful multi six figure wedding planning business,  Megan now helps others achieve their biggest goals, coaching hundreds of entrepreneurs on building profitable wedding businesses within her online community, The Planner’s Vault. 

Megan is known for sharing her expertise in a relatable and impactful way that has brought success and clarity to thousands of business owners across the world through her podcast for wedding pros, Weddings For Real, which is ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts. 

When Megan isn’t helping entrepreneurs tap into their own inner genius, you’ll find her scribbling big ideas on every notebook, napkin, and sticky note she can find— or hanging at home with her husband, embarrassing her three daughters with her oh-so-enthusiastic dance moves.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.

    we're Davey & Krista
