Small Business Professionals + Event for Creatives = Room Full of Energy, Out of the Box Thinking & Small Business Strategies to Keep Them All in the Black...and Happy!

August, September, Oct...OCTOBER!!! I know, why am I surprised? The past six weeks have been a whirlwind–but no complaints here because it has been mostly for good reason...lots of business! In the midst of it all, I was invited by Honeybook to emcee their big Los Angeles event, #TheHiveLa, which brought together creative professionals of all sorts for an afternoon and evening of sharing small business strategies about pricing, creating a business process and getting back your passion.

If you were at the event, held at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre, you know how inspirational the conversations were. If you weren't there, where were you?!?! Either way, enjoy this double dose of quotes from #TheHiveLA:  You not only get the MY top business tips from the event, but you also get fantastic tips from #TheHiveLA host Sean Low!
