• Your Special Sauce Workshop

  <p>In this workshop we will dive deep to find out what it is that sets you apart from everyone else and then find ways to deliver it to the world, either as a hobby or a vocation, whichever is most appropriate. &nbsp;Matching up what you have to offer and what people actually want is the most important part of the equation, one that most people miss. &nbsp;You’ll end the day with an idea for at least one project that is something people will want today or in the near future. &nbsp;You will have an action plan that will give you direction and continued inspiration, as well as a way to stay accountable while you test your ideas. &nbsp;Expect to open your intuition and creativity during this class.</p><p>This workshop is for people who are trailblazers with a willingness to try things that haven’t been done before. &nbsp;This is both an exciting and humbling journey.</p><p>Includes a Special Sauce Planner.</p><p>Taught by Gretchen Little who has been fascinated by soul purpose, creativity, and entrepreneurship her entire life. (She tried to sell flowers she made in a Thingmaker on the 4^th grade playground until the teachers shut her down because she was too successful.) &nbsp;Her intuition has guided her to know what people are looking for, sometimes before they even know it themselves. &nbsp;This class is a result of the concepts that will be taught.</p> 2019-12-16 15:30:00 -0600
