3. Concept - Test your ideas out and see what works and doesn't.

4. Select - Take the top concept and refine it based on real feedbacks.

5. Brand - Figure out the positiong of your product - how it's gonna be, what it stands for, and all other finalizations about your brand.

7. Prototype - Get a working model of your idea, test it with your targeted consumers, refine it until it's ready for public consumption.

8. Pre-launch - Pre-sell your products and get sales before producing it big. Build a demand first to make sure it WILL sell successfully.

"What I like most about photography is the moment that you can't anticipate... you just have to constantly watch for it, ready to welcome the unexpected..."

Garime heads a team of international wedding story tellers based in Toronto, Canada. Their storytelling style of imagery and films captures love and people in love! They document every wedding with a special attention to all the little details, emotions, and fun that exudes passion and evocative moments.

In this episode, Garima shares important takeaways about standing out from the competition through presenting the real you::

1. Introspection - It's important to have a clear understanding of what you do, what you want to deliver, and communicate that to your ideal clients.

2. Present your real self - Only put work out there that represents you. Things that you want people to see and automatically think of you.

3. Deliver 100% - To help you attain a balance, set limitations with the quantity of works you take on and focus on being very attuned with a few quality projects.

Rosanne has had the pleasure of working in the wedding industry for over 17 years helping clients design and produce their weddings and special events. 

She prides herself in her attention to detail and acute ability to listen to her clients needs and wishes and to coordinate that dream into a reality. By combining her passion for nature and all it's beauty together with a love for luxury and fashion, interior design and architecture, she is able to artistically design a space into a unique and unforgettable atmosphere with each wedding and event that her team produces.

Rosanne shared 3 takeaways to craft a successful styled shoot:

1. Make it fun - Style shoots can be dreadful and overwhelming so look for your team for support and don't take yourselves too seriously.

2. Find your inspiration - Before you take any big step, a concrete inspiration is the greatest place to start.

3. Nurture your connections - To ensure that you have a network of people for every type of shoot, commit into every detail, so people would actually want to collaborate with you.

She also shared some takeaways about starting your owning a floral business:

1. Experience is king - It's important to get a taste of the industry first. Reach out to local florists to help you get a good glimpse instead of jumping head first.

2. Education - As important as experience, having some foundation about handling your products and some certifications under your belt can greatly help.

2. Quality and freshness - In this craft, product quality should be your top priority. Invest in technology to ensure top-notch florals.

Hasti is the Owner and Lead Planner at La Vista Events. Since launching in 2014, she's had friends become clients and clients become friends. More than a planner, Hasti and her team of certified planners work with clients from a place of love and compassion.

As a Type 3 Enneagram personality - Hasti has always been an achiever. She is also, admittedly, a recovering perfectionist that labels inefficiency as her major pet peeve.

In this episode, Hasti shares 5 ways to increase your productivity as an entrepreneur:

1. Time Blocking - Develop a system where you have a set routine without bouncing around tasks. Focus your energy on one topic at a time.

2. Email Management - Emails are not life or death. Learn to dedicate certain times of the day to check and respond to emails instead of obsessing over it at all times of the day.

3. Google Drive - For business matters, Google Drive is a great and cloud-based storage solution for every entrepreneur. It is a game-changer for digital organization and file sharing.

4. Google Calendar - Try writing down and color-coding your tasks in your calendar to see which ones are eating most of your time. This also helps you see the tasks you need to put more/less time on.

5. Social Media - Time blocking, batching your content, and using social media schedulers are major time-savers.

Episode 47: Structuring Family Life as a Working Parent with Joan Cinquegrani

Joan Cinquegrani grew up with "Type A" tendencies. Her background in non-profit events gives Joan a unique perspective on event execution and design within a budget. Her eye for detail ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Over the years, Joan's career path has lead her towards starting Five Grain Events in 2010, her very own event planning company.

In this episode, Joan discusses five takeaways about balancing business and family life for a parent: 1. Don't over structure - People function better with some level of routine that allows some room for flexibility. 2. Have a system - Having morning checklists, tasks calendars could be helpful to help reduce daily stress in your home - especially if you have a big family. 3. Go off plan - Give yourself permission to go off track / rest sometimes, listen to your body and energy levels as it won't always be the same every day. 4. Evaluate - There might be things that you keep putting off so take time to acknowledge them. Then take action either by the process of elimination or delegation. 5. Be comfortable with the constant sliding scale - This lifestyle can seem like a wheel of fortune - amazing at first then intolerable the next moment. Hold on as much as you can - just the fact that you're still afloat during a global pandemic shows how resilient you already are.
