Growing A Biz With No Social Media
Manage episode 436647726 series 2900488
“I’m no longer afraid to put myself out there... Because of my hearing loss, I’ve always been a little intimidated by new people. But calligraphy has given me a great deal of confidence. And I’m proud of my work.” - Amanda Nicole Borne
Today, I’m talking to my student Amanda - a substitute teacher and calligraphy biz owner who is also dealing with progressive hearing loss.
There’s SO MUCH VALUE in our conversation, including:
- How calligraphy has provided connection and confidence, despite hearing loss
- Creative ways to get calligraphy jobs that I’ve NEVER HEARD of before - with NO social media!
- How Amanda is using the profits from her calligraphy biz (hint: it involves international travel and life-threatening surgery for her husband)
Amanda took our calligraphy courses during the pandemic, despite both her and her husband losing their jobs… and she says the investment was “Absolutely worth it. It’s not like taking a trip, where you do it once and then only have the memories. I learned a SKILL that I can use for the rest of my life.”
