All Participants
What to Bring & Wear for both In-Person and Virtual Participants: This course is about stepping into your dream and embodying the entrepreneurial side of yourself, so we recommend dressing the part. Dress in a way that makes you feel confident and like you really own your dream/your business. Business casual comes to mind, but you know YOU the best!
We are going to be doing a fair amount of “work”, so make sure you bring whatever you like to take notes on and create with. If you are a computer person, bring your laptop (make sure you bring it fully charged in case you aren’t near an outlet). If you are a paper/pen person, bring a journal. We also encourage you to bring markers/crayons, etc., as you will have time to draw or write out your vision!
