Practicing Our Elevator Pitches Without Any Practice
Hey friends! Welcome to EntrepreNINES hosted by John Wist and Bonni Mace. We're two enneagram 9s who have taken the leap into the world of entrepreneurship at a similar time. Join us as we laugh and learn together and work to build businesses with soul.
Today we are sharing an episode with you in which we both squirmed a lot. We are practicing our elevator pitches, previously unrehearsed - something we both feel incredibly bad at. But we are here, being vulnerable (because it's what we do) workshopping our short self-promo spiels together for you to hear. As a small business owner, self-promo is important AND incredibly difficult. If this is how you feel too, know you're not alone and come along. Feeling brave? Leave us a voicemail with your practice elevator pitch too!
