I remember setting up for my first ever vendor event in 2017 at a local community college. I had no clue what I was doing, had never been to a networking event before, and showed up in the fanciest sundress and heels that I owned.
Everyone else was dressed in “business professional” and here I am completely decked out, looking like I’m about to go eat sushi on the beach.
Looking back, my outfit was prob a mistake, but it sparked curiosity in what I was there to sell, which was a wellness journal. I remember being thrilled to have sold $300 worth of a product that most people didn’t even know how to use.
Moral of the story- Stay delulu, take risks, show up as a beginner, work extremely hard, & do it your way on your terms. 😉
