Her business relies 100% on referrals. She doesn’t do advertising and doesn’t buy leads. Every client she has is from a different personal connection from her current clients. When Elizabeth moved back to Philly, she had to reestablish a network. She drink so much coffee it took a while to bring herself back down to one cup a day. Elizabeth mentions: “Don’t be afraid to reach out to people and ask to buy them a cup of coffee.” If you go into the meeting with a positive mindset to meet people and ask for stories, business will flow from that because you're genuine... Look for quality relationships. Foster those relationships and relationships will turn into business..." Know What You Don’t Know “I’ve made mistakes along the way but consult attorney’s. There are so many things that need to happen to protect you... It’s a wonderful time for the internet, look online for books, blogs, articles, and educate yourself to find the correct players..." Says the owner of Very RE Find a Mentor "Find mentors in various stages in their careers. As an entrepreneur you need a sounding board." Said Elizabeth. One of the hardest parts in business, was that she didn’t have a peer to talk to. "When you’re a sole entrepreneur, you don’t have anyone. Find someone that can help you and validate you’re on the right track."
