A bold decision to pitch myself for an opportunity landed me right next to my business idol.

In early 2016, the Signature CEO conference landed on my radar as it was on the list of appearances CurlBox Founder and CEO Myleik Teele had on her website and it was right in my neck of the woods. Initially, I thought a conference specifically tailored to wedding and event planners would not be relevant to me. But when I took a closer look at the agenda, I realized the knowledge that would be shared would be both valuable and applicable to my own brand. I brainstormed ways that I could contribute value to the conference organizer and pitched myself to cover the conference as press.

On today’s episode, I get into:

• Why you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take
• Myleik Teele’s social media strategy gems to take your business to the next level
• Why Shea Radiance Founder Funlayo Alabi wants us to dare to be different
• How Personal Finance Coach Dominique Broadway leads entrepreneurs to financial greatness
• Wedding Planner Tiffany Chalk’s strategy for selling your value not your price
