Ep. 24: Showcasing Your Creativity

It's no secret that I am heavily involved with events of every kind and in every region. Art show, fashion shows, trade shows, they all take preparation if you want it to be successful. As a vendor or featured artist, often creative people think they can make it up as they go and that's a huge mistake. In this episode, I discuss how to get ready to present at any event and make it success from beginning to end. Where do you start and how do you finish strong? #1 tip for the people considering Event Planning: If you want personal validation at a party DO NOT get into events. We work so others can play. Wanting to be the most know at an event will ruin the event for everyone. Buy a ticket if you want to be a guest.
