Today we are sharing an episode with you in which we both squirmed a lot. We are practicing our elevator pitches, previously unrehearsed - something we both feel incredibly bad at. But we are here, being vulnerable (because it's what we do) workshopping our short self-promo spiels together for you to hear. As a small business owner, self-promo is important AND incredibly difficult. If this is how you feel too, know you're not alone and come along. Feeling brave? Leave us a voicemail with your practice elevator pitch too!
