How This Event Planner Started A Lifestyle Business And A Peek Behind The Scenes

1. What do you do? Who do you help?

I inspire women to kick fear in the balls and live out loud through the things that set their soul on fire. I encourage them to not worry about what others think, we now tell the world that “Fear Doesn’t Go With My ___!”

We say it loudly and courageously:

If it’s an illness… Fear Doesn’t Go With My Health
If it’s a job… Fear Doesn’t Go With My Career
If it’s money… Fear Doesn’t Go With My Finances
If it’s Entrepreneurship… Fear Doesn’t Go With My Business
Whatever it is, we are leaving fear behind. It has no place in our lives and can no longer ruin us! Fear Doesn’t Go With My Outfit.

2. List your favorite business tools.

VEGAS Movie Studio 15 Suite – I am starting to get more into videos since starting my new lifestyle brand Fear Doesn’t Go With My Outfit and want to make sure I have a professional vibe even when I can’t pay someone. I just purchased movie studio software to help me clean up my recorded videos.
QuickBooks – Having accounting software is a MUST. I suggest investing in this from the beginning of your business, even if you are just starting. You can track spreadsheets yourself, but QuickBooks does it all for you! Plus, are you really gonna prioritize opening that baby up and sitting down for an afternoon of keying in numbers? With QuickBooks, you can keep track of your books and send out invoices and get paid instantly with one click from your customers. If you have a team, you can also do payroll if you select that option when you purchase.
