Dear people of the internet.
I did something crazy, I quit my full time career, to chase my dreams with my best friend!!! This is the post where if you just started reading WELCOME and if you have been following for awhile then buckle up!
I could make this story a really long one, like LONG. I could take you all the way back to the moment post college graduation that I decided I didn’t want to teach. Its a long story, and it used to be a sad story, but it isn’t anymore. Its a crazy ass tale that set me on a course for following my dreams. But lets fast forward to January of 2017, I went and got a coffee with this fashion blogger that DM’d me on Instagram and said we lived in the same area.
At this “blind date” we talked about our lives, where we went to school and college, our husbands, our dogs. And during that meeting, I remember laughing to myself. Because this girl sitting in front of me was my best friend. She was my best friend and we had just met. She was smart, funny, kind, we had so much in common it was uncanny. I remember on that day telling her, that she was living my dream. She was a full-time fashion blogger, she was her own boss, her own creative, her own storyteller.
That girl was Liz from the blog withwonderandwhimsy.com
So we became fast friends, turns out Liz and her hubby went to high school with my husband. WEIRD. The four of us went to dinner and it was so easy. And pretty soon, we were doing collaborations together, then we planned an event together, THEN we traveled to NYC for Full Figured Fashion Week together. And it was easy. Liz and I found that pretty soon it was easier to take each others pictures, and meet weekly to discuss upcoming campaigns. And after a year of working together as peers, sometimes partners, all the time friends. A plan was presented to me.
In January of 2018, Liz sat me down over coffee and asked me to partner with her on a new company. And this is whats crazy. It was the natural next step. OF COURSE we should go into business together. And people of the internet, as I sat there and listened to this idea I just laughed to myself. Because really how could I say anything other than YES. This business savvy, smart, wicked funny woman wanted to share her dream with me.
And this is where you come in (Liz and I promised each other these posts would be less than 500 words, so I will get to it).
There is a new Social Media Consulting company out there in the world. Our business born of talent, and friendship is aptly(in our opinion) called Boutique Consultants. A firm that specializes in helping small community oriented business get off on the right foot in the world of Social Media.
Liz and I have always shared a love for boutiques, we love that personal touch that working with a small business lends. We love spending our money with people that have so much passion they share it with others. AND we feel as a two person team we are our own sort of boutique. We can give your business the proper attention it needs, and we understand your passion. After months of planning and my official end date at my job coming in the next two weeks, it was time to get this business out there in the world. So tell yo kids, tell yo wife. TELL EVERYBODY! Boutique Consultants is here and we are ready to help you enhance your business through the power of social media.
I am so excited for what is yet to come! Make sure to check out boutiqueconsultants.com we would love your feedback!!
