Big Hearted Business :: Inspiring Things from Inspiring People

Did you go to Big Hearted Business? 

I heard a few folks saying it was too expensive for them and I get that, (really… please believe me.. I do) however other events of this quality and with such attention to the finest details, usually cost well over a grand. This one was just over half of that for the full priced tickets and I feel I got every cent worth. Sometimes you need to invest in yourself and your craft.

The slogan for the weekend was "Courage, Courage, Nuts and Bolts" and the speakers truly reflected that. There were a selection of speakers who were clearly there to inspire and motivate us into action and it totally worked. I am inspired and I am not just thinking about what I want to do one day, I am actually doing it. I've started writing a book… actually doin' it kids.

There were also really rad speakers whose purpose was to teach us about the "nuts and bolts". They shared info on HOW to make money being creative and get stuff done without ending up in jail for tax fraud. Super useful… thank you!
