Career Girl Conference

May 28, 2018By Emani Jeter

Hey Lovely Readers,

Yesterday was the Career Girl Conference and despite the rain there was an amazing turn out. My goal for the event was to connect people to people and people to businesses. When I was getting started I always strived for events like this one where I could meet someone who was doing what I wanted to do and personally ask them questions. Not only was that achieved but the vendors connected with people on a deeper level not just *sales* as well as the audience getting to ask questions on a 1-on-1 conversation. Whether you were starting or rebranding a business this event was the one to be at.

I spoke about some of my successes and some of my downfalls as an entrepreneur and I kept it very real letting the audience know I struggled financially as well as help wise from family and friends. In addition, to letting the audience know after you celebrate a big win you go ahead and plan your next win so you do not fall into depression.
