Have you ever gotten an inquiry that you just knew you couldn't turn down, even though you'd never done that exact thing before? That's what happened when I booked my first live engraving event - without ever having touched an engraver. In this episode, I'm sharing the full story of how I said yes to an engraving live event, learned to engrave in one week, and pulled off a wildly successful event. I'm sharing what that experience and other similar experiences have taught me about putting an idea into action fast for your business. This isn't about winging it. It's about knowing when you have the skills to go for it, and deciding that you're ready.In this episode we talk about:How to confidently take on something new, without taking on too much riskWhy readiness is a decision, not a feelingThe key to booking jobs you've never done before🔗 Links to resources mentioned in this episode:Learn about Ascent 6 Month Coaching Program, kicking off June 1: https://www.calligraphyceo.com/ascent Learn about Your CEO Partner 1:1 Coaching Accelerator: https://www.calligraphyceo.com/ceo-partnerDM me to chat about your business: https://www.instagram.com/monstera.goldAll the engraving supplies I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/shop/monstera.gold/list/1GNK1TSY7ST7G?ref_=aipsflistSupport the show👩💻 Learn From Me:Get Hands On Support from Shaochen: Apply for Business CoachingStart Your Profitable Calligraphy Business: Join Shaochen's Free MasterclassFreebie!
