BTS: A Week of Business Adventures and Inspiration
We’re taking you behind the scenes of Brave Looks Good on You, and here’s a fun fact: We live in different states—Julie’s in Texas, and Melissa in Arkansas. Despite being lifelong friends, we don’t get to see each other in person very often.
Recently, we spent a week together in San Antonio to get some work done and have some fun. We had a live event, a photo shoot, and, of course, some hilarious moments during our time together. We thought it would be great to give you a peek behind the curtain, sharing our goals for the trip, including what we accomplished and some of the funny things that happened along the way.
We spent a lot of time preparing for this time together, creating to-do lists and making plans. One of our goals was to visit some of the people we’ve interviewed over the past year who live in the San Antonio area. We managed to do that, including a visit to Opal and Onyx cookies to see Hilary.
We kicked things off with a trip to Austin to meet one of our clients for lunch, and it was delightful to finally meet her in person after months of Zoom calls. We discussed our projects and looked forward to releasing our work to the world in January.
The next day was jam packed with a hair and make-up session followed by a photo shoot for updated headshots. Later that evening, we hosted our live event at BSB, which was a fantastic experience. It was a sold-out, ticketed event, and the participation and energy in the room were incredible. It was a proud moment for both of us, stepping outside our comfort zones.
The rest of the week was a mix of work and fun, with brainstorming sessions, podcast planning, and walks in Julie’s beautiful neighborhood.
Overall, this trip was a significant investment, both financially and in terms of time, but it reaffirmed our commitment to our business and the connections we’ve made. It reminded us that hard work pays off and that, even though we may not be exactly where we want to be, we’ve come a long way and have gained clarity along the journey. So, remember, getting started is key, and done is better than perfect. Brave truly does look good on us.
