Not as much as you think! Join me as I learn about LaTache's whirlwind calligraphy journey and how tapping into your network truly is the best way to get your foot in the door! She shares with me:How simple birthday & greeting cards for family and friends can turn into “sneaky marketing”, and create connections you might never have established otherwiseThe specific course curriculum that allowed LaTache to adapt to client requests (and land her jobs!), and what makes our Crooked Calligraphy Community so special (spoiler alert – it's the STUDENTS)How she's “figuring it out along the way” and having the courage to put herself out there and just start!LaTache & SO MANY of my students have chosen to listen to the pro's rather than the con's of beginning their calligraphy journey.
