Top 3 Takeaways for this Episode:
- Don’t go it alone! When trying to come up with a creative idea, look outside yourself. Get help, brainstorm with your husband, kids, business BFFs, whoever. You never know where a good idea will come from.
- Don’t be afraid to ask. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. The worst that will happen is a ‘no thank you’ or simply no response to your email.
- We need to be able to mix things up and keep it fresh. Look for opportunities to innovate with what’s going on around you.
