When Joseph Cloute decided to start his own business with Bumble Bee Blinds of Madison, he knew it was about more than just window coverings—it was about the people he would get to serve. Whether it’s creating a cozy space with the perfect custom drapery or adding smart motorized blinds for convenience, helping homeowners find solutions that improve their daily lives is what truly drives him. For Joseph, the real fulfillment comes from making a positive difference in his community.
Starting a business, he believes, isn’t just about what you sell, but who you’re helping. Through Bumble Bee Blinds of Madison, Joseph has been learning how to make a real difference for homeowners by addressing their window covering needs—and much more.
In a recent episode of the Marketing Panes Podcast, Joseph shares what it’s like jumping into a franchise, leaning on a supportive community, and using smart tools to keep operations running smoothly. It’s been a wild ride so far, full of lessons and wins that continue to motivate him every day.
