GET CONNECTED: Face-To-Face
Networking In The Age of Social Media The biggest trap in the Age of Internet
is isolating ourselves behind a keyboard.
Time and time again, I'm reminded
through reconnecting in-person with my
peers, the sheer importance of network-
ing. Time spent building relationships
is time well invested. Orlando is one big
case study in six degrees of separation.
By following our intended paths, people
we meet along the way teach us lessons,
good and bad; these relationships emu-
late there is strength in numbers. While there are customers who'd rather
buy handmade maker goods, rather than
DIY, one thing is for sure: Creativity breeds
innovation and a rewarding knowledge
that we're more creative than we give our-
selves credit for. SOS Art Gallery is launch-
ing walk-in workshops and interactive make
'n' take stations at local pop-ups. Learn the
process behind handmade cards, gifts and
artwork in order to appreciate the time,
passion and purpose behind getting away
from mass production. Each unique piece
is a labor of love, which means much more
to both artists and local supporters.
GET LOCAL: Pop-Up Boutique
Partnerships in the Community GET MOVING: Staying Motivated As
An Entrepreneur to Live Your Best Life
Our retail model has been turned upside
down in the past decade, largely due to
the stronghold of corporate influences,
namely Amazon.com.
By observing the recent shopping trends,
thriving retail finds solutions to appease
instant gratification. A one- to two-day de-
livery model and free shipping now drives
the shopping habits of the masses.
Through the years, I've continued to de-
velop an SOS Art Gallery online shop at
ShopSOSArtGallery.com in order to make
one-of-a-kind handicrafts accessible to a
global audience.
While online retail gives a shopper the
ability to shop on their own schedule,

GET CREATIVE: Walk-In Workshops
& Interactive Vendor Experiences
Being an entrepreneur means being the
boss of your own schedule. Time-man-
agement and self-motivation are vital fac-
tors in making the most of your workdays
when accountability is a must to stay on
track. This year, BizOrlando.com is launch-
ing a Team Keep It Moving initiative, pro-
viding entrepreneurs with accountability
partners who motivate each other. By do-
ing so, we work together towards daily ac-
tions needed to develop long-term habits
of being self-starters.
GET PAMPERED: Self-Care to Reset
& Taking Time for Yourself to Recharge
Are you taking charge of your day? Or do
competing priorities set by others leave
you wondering where the time went and
why your to-do list keeps getting lon-
ger? In order to make progress and shrink
down that list, setting boundaries is the first
step to self-care. An important lesson I've
learned is that self-care is a vital necessity
to recharge. In keeping with self-empow-
erment, pampering pop-ups create mean-
ingful opportunities for focusing on how
self-care leads you to being a greater asset
to your peers and your best self to meet
daily obligations with greater ease.
