I love that you addressed this, Candice. Most people give advice on how and what you need to start your business. It’s rare to find someone who tells you how to actually get clients for that business. I’m a luxury stationery designer and after working in a full time job for the past 5 years and then taking a year off, I’m now back to doing what I love but felt so out of touch in the industry I needed some quick reminders. Your video has reminded me of what it takes to get back in the game fast!

I love the reframe about how to network and build relationships with peers, vendors, and venues! I'm challenged by what it practically looks like to add value for them as someone just starting out with limited existing networks. Could you offer an example or two about what this might look like? Really appreciate it!

[@candice.coppola]

This is an awesome question! I'm going to add this to the line up and get you some ideas! I know its tough when you feel like you don't have much to offer but trust me, you do.

[@IsanaSingh-r9m]
