Devon Pop Ups

- BossAss -

When I set up Devon Pop Ups I can't tell you how many times I heard:

'Nobody will climb up that dirty great hill and come to your event'.

The venue was at the top of the steep High Street in my home town, Bideford. I ignored the naysayers, ignored my own doubts and self sabotaging thoughts, trusted myself and did it anyway.

Guess what?

People flippin' well did climb that big 'ol hill, not once, but three times.

Has it been easy building an events company? Not. Even. Slightly. There have been obstacles and challenges along the way. Many tears have been shed and many socks have been worked well and truly off. I've learnt so much along the way - growing this and my other creative business Benton's Menagerie (a maker of mixed media sculptures).

But I have so much yet to learn. I mean what the flip is Instagram Stories? I know I'm supposed to use it but I don't get it. I don't get Etsy. I am just working out how to use Eventbrite and link it to my social media platforms. I know I need to blog, but I don't know where to start. And as for self sabotaging beliefs - I have them in spades and work every day to overcome them.

I figured that I might not be the only creative entrepreneur needing help in certain areas so I'm hosting networking events and business workshops under my Devon Pop Ups umbrella.
