Building On Success
“Following my Envision Design Competition award, I decided to invest in my business (just as I have invested in my expertise for years through WFCP seminars) by hiring Neil Gordon as my business coach. To raise visibility, I launched a new website, sent out press releases and marketed myself as a public speaker. Having samples made by WCAA member workrooms helped me learn more about the strengths of each workroom. All these efforts are paying off now—in momentum, ongoing projects and new business. Opportunity knocks, but we have to open the door.”
