How I took over my town in 48 hours

New digs in Montana brought some eye-opening lessons. In Cali, warp-speed internet is a given. In Montana? Not so much. They're all about family time, not internet speed records. Cue slowest internet ever. Podcasts and Zoom calls? Forget about it.Facing a virtual event deadline, my Airbnb office dream crumbled. Co-working spaces? A six-month wait! Panic mode on. But this chaos led to a major reality check. Being an online entrepreneur made me forget real-life connections. So, in true Montana style, I decided to meet everyone.Fast forward, I met Christian, a Marine vet turned restaurant owner. Deep convo, connection made. Co-working owner met, conference room snagged. Then, a local angel offered her house for my virtual event chaos. Networking jackpot!In 36 hours, I turned challenges into wins. Met five new friends, got a conference room, a sweet house, a caterer, and real estate help. The power of relationships in Montana saved me stress and added a sense of community. The lesson? In-person connections are gold. As entrepreneurs, we're surrounded by potential solutions, help, and support. Just gotta initiate, cross that line, and build the community ourselves. Time to leverage those relationships!_Looking for access to my entire book recommendation library?
