A little about our guests. Amanda was born in Louisiana, then moved to Oklahoma, Arizona, and Florida as a child. She returned to Arizona as an adult. David hails from Chicago and is a big sports fan. Amanda received her Bachelor’s degree in Human Behavioral Studies and is working toward her PhD. in Transpersonal Counseling with an emphasis on sexual health. David’s background is in retail. He has always wanted to go into business for himself and, with Amanda, began that journey 2 ½ years ago. Amanda knew she did not want a traditional job, so together they created Delightfully Vixen. A little about their business. It was a need for extreme flexibility in her schedule that started Amanda searching for something she could do. She found an under-served market in women who needed bra-fitting and lingerie and weren’t “average.” She added in her studies to create a safe space for women and couples to ask about various areas of sexual health. David’s background in retail, his knowledge of apparel, and his knowledge of marketing has helped get this dream of both of them off the ground. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) When you make the decision to get into business for yourself, really know what business you are getting in to. Scout it out for more than just a few months and learn all you can.

About the show Ever been to a networking event where someone in the crowd plays the card game? You know the game. It is where a business owner runs around the room as fast as they can and hands their business card to anyone who will take it. There is even a long-time business owner here in Phoenix who leaves business cards on any and every flat surface, including the top of urinals. We can’t make this stuff up. What if your business cards were dipped in gold, would you throw them around to anyone and everyone? Of course not. You would hand them out to only the most deserving of people. There would be an etiquette to the way you give out your cards. On today’s show, we talk about handing out your cards and using them as a way to build relationships, not just add people to your email list without permission. When you use your business cards for good, you create better relationships. Get in Touch with Us www.Together247.net [email protected] 602-399-7430 Facebook – https://Facebook.com/RealTogether247

A little about our guests. Aaron and Jocelyn both grew up to be very different people from the power couple they are today. Aaron was an athlete and kept his guard up when it came to women.

After spending too many years looking for external validation, she decided to go deep. Jocelyn spent several years transforming herself.

Before writing a book with Aaron and creating their speaking and social entrepreneur business together, Jocelyn was a registered nurse. A little about their business.

About the show Take a look at your business card or your signature on emails. What is your business email address? If you are still using a business email address that is [email protected] or [email protected], you are projecting an amateurish and non-professional face to the world. Whether you’re in business by yourself, with your sweetheart or you manage a few or few hundred people, email addresses can be the first impression someone has of your business. On today’s episode, we get this serious pet peeve out of our system by giving you our thoughts on the impression you make with an unprofessional email address.
