Launch Your Creativity

I'm SO EXCITED to be speaking at this fall's LaunchYourCreativity in Orange, California this weekend about how blogging can grow your business and build your brand. LaunchYourCreativity is the creative brainchild of Sharon Hughes, one of the kindest, most generous women I know. It's a conference she created to inspire and encourage the hearts of creative women and equip them with the tools to foster growth in their businesses, as well as connect them in community. I'll be speaking along with these creative professionals, rockstars and all around amazing women at FLOURISH Cheryl Turner, owner of Paris in a Cup | Norma Rapko, artist, and creator of the Crystyler | Cynthia Shaffer, artist, published author, acclaimed photographer | Sharon Hughes, encourager, life coach. This conference is for ALL creative professionals, if you are just beginning your dream business, or are already successful. It's for you if you are a woman in business, an aspiring small business owner, a photographer, an Etsy store owner, a blogger, a stylist, an artist, a BIG dreamer, a planner, a service provider and more. Industry leaders at this conference will teach about becoming a better small business owner, how to plan and motivate yourself to launch a business or refresh and rebrand your business, how to blog to grow your business, how to buy for your store or business, how to bring a product to market, how to get published and more. And then there is the "secret sauce" I can't quite describe at every LaunchYourCreativity . Something special happens in that room filled with women, {and yes- men!} who all have a HUGE dream, gathering together to bond, share and learn together. It's nothing short of amazing! FLOURISH will be held in the gorgeous Paris in a Cup, a stunning Tea Salon in Orange, California. I will admit, I'm a little nervous/excited at this moment. Please send me good thoughts. I don't normally speak, and I'm hoping to be able to sound like I actually know things. {Which I know I do, but you know what I mean, public speaking is not really my gift. My gift is all about having a "good eye" and sourcing spectacular antiques - which is not usually a public event with others watching me.} Missed FLOURISH?
