There's a follow-up to that, which is you got to talk to people at these events. I tell my team everywhere they go, they need to give out at least 10 business cards.” (16:09 | Jennifer Babbit Bodner)“Build yourself a personal advisory board. I don't mean an actual board. But who are those experts, especially in the areas that you don't know that you can call for counsel and ask them, say, I want you to be a part of my personal advisory board, right? I mean, legal, mental health, business, product, whatever it is, when you're starting out, there's so much you don't know. And there's so many people that are willing to share that with you.” (37:26 | Jennifer Babbit Bodner)Connect with Jennifer Babbit Bodner:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/babbitbodnerIf you like what you're hearing, please leave a rating or review at https://ratethispodcast.com/dearfoundher Marketing Made Simple for Small Business is Lindsay's new group mentorship program that helps you create the right content and messaging to connect with your community, drive sales, AND generate a simplified process for putting it out into the world, to grow your following and bottom line.
