Tune in as we welcome Anne, the dynamic woman behind Champagne and Stars Event Decor, who shares about her amazing journey from the educational field to entrepreneurship. We traverse through the changing landscape of students' attitudes, parenting styles, and the support system that nudged Anne to rediscover her passion for vintage furniture design and refinishing, ultimately leading to her embarking on a whole new career.
The conversation gets even more intriguing as we venture into Anne's process of setting up her business in the tough times of the COVID pandemic. Her meticulous planning from obtaining licensures to establishing inventory, and her penchant for 1920s Great Gatsby-themed events form the crux of our discussion. We also dig into the art of balancing family time and business development. Anne shares invaluable insights on the significance of a supportive network, securing bookings, overcoming initial business doubts, and helping clients choose the perfect decor. This episode is a treasure trove of experiences about resilience, transition, and pursuing your passion.
