Episode Highlights:

01:38 - I'm not doing so much custom work right now. I'm doing more of a package of. This is what I know most people in my clientele need, and I'm able to offer it to them and get it to them really quick.

02:18 - I work with them to position them online to get those gigs. And why they would come to me is because I actually have eight years of experience in the event planning side of things. So I used to hire speakers, so now I use that experience and I make them websites.

05:41 - I think getting help is some of one of the hardest things to do as an entrepreneur and asking for help. And so I wish I would have done that sooner in the hiring process and helping people or helping my designs get out there and everything. So I finally have a designer that works under me, and I finally have a copywriter that works under me. And it's just, if I would have started out with that, I think I could have just really launched even more than I did.

07:44 - If we look at things from a different direction or a different different or widen our lenses a little bit, I think there's a lot of opportunities out there that maybe we're not seeing.
