Some people pivot because their current business is no longer viable, and others, like my guest for this episode, Nora Sheils, saw a need for her business, looked for a solution, it didn’t exist, so she and her partner built it! What do you do when you see a need in your business and can’t find a solution? Listen to this episode for inspiration, some ideas and even a special offer from Nora for my listeners!

Nora Sheils is the co-founder of Rock Paper Coin, the first software platform to bring together wedding planners, couples, and vendors into one system for managing and paying contracts and invoices. She is also the founder and lead wedding planner of award-winning firm Bridal Bliss. In addition to recognition by Portland Business Journal in its 40 Under 40 series, she also earned a spot in The BizBash 500 for 2021.

Rock paper Coin provides automated tools for wedding planners, vendors, and couples getting married. The software utilizes technology to digitize contracts, invoices, and payments while supporting communication between all parties involved.

Now, more than ever, it’s important to keep as much money in your pocket as possible. Here are 3 reasons why more event pros are dropping their current subscriptions and joining  www.rockpapercoin.com:
