Lessons from GiggleSnort
I love stories about people beating the street to earn a living.
I’m a solid believer in learning the “cold call” before launching yourself into the entrepreneurial journey. Carrie ran a greeting card company called GiggleSnort that quickly exposed her to the hard lessons of small business. Failure is great. You learn from it, get thicker skin, and find new opportunities.
Fail fast, if you can.
Finding Genesis
Once Carrie found StudioPress & Genesis there was no looking back.
She has leveraged the product to build custom solutions for her clients, while continuing to elevate her expertise over the years. You can find her as one of the recommended Genesis developers and recently launched two commercial themes. Utility can be found in her store and Winning Agent over at StudioPress.
Aside from all of the great WordPress code Carrie develops, she’s also an awesome person. I’ve been a fan for quite a while and wish her the best of luck in her business.
