The Road to Entrepreneurship from Your Day Job

Learn how the Talent Fairy Godmother, Calista Phair, went from 4 lost jobs between 2016-2018, a corporate nightmare in 2019 and selling $100 resumes to closing $20K+ corporate contracts (even while getting her hair done)! Four months after launching her Talent Fairy Godmother business, Calista hit six figures in sales.

Here’s what this workshop will cover:

  • How to get clarity on your business and brand

  • Steps for how to leverage your corporate job to influence your own business

  • Discovering your target audience and how to position them as clients

  • Funding your business when you have no investors or funding sources

Bring your pen, paper, and a friend and get ready for the opportunity to grow your passion.

Even in a pandemic, don’t sit on your passion and dreams!

After the event, 5 attendees will be selected to win a free one hour strategy session with Calista.
