Define, Plan & Achieve Your Goals
Want to create something useful? Look at what will make your life easier and go from there. That was what happened when Kelley Coughlan and Jenn Deese created Pursecase.* The duo, who are also partners of Melrose PR in Santa Monica, talk with Guided Goals’ founder Debra Eckerling about their experience. Plus, they offer advice for would-be entrepreneurs.
* A pursecase was used in filming this interview.
One of the things I love about living in Los Angeles is the access to so many creative, inspiring, passionate business-minded people in the LA Start-up Scene. Entrepreneurs were out in full force at last week’s Silicon Beach Fest, in Santa Monica, California. Presented by Digital LA, this is the second annual Santa Monica event … plus, they had a Hollywood mini-version last fall.
Below are excellent tweeted advice from #sbf 2013 … pay close to the first and last tweets. They are my favorites.
