If you’ve been in business longer than a couple of months, you are already familiar with the proverbial ups and downs—and yes, we are going to hit some bumps ahead for the foreseeable future. Still, when the going gets tough, what’s your default? BOD™ member Nikki Fisher says, she’s an expert in not giving up. That’s an attitude that will come in very handy during the next months.

In this episode we learn:
- show up at industry events and expand your network—put yourself out there (online works too!)
- be curious and learn adjacent skills such as how a cabinet maker draws millwork
- it’s possible to feel isolated in a crowd, the trick to connection is authentic sharing
- get active at Business of Design™
- form a local peer support group
- set up meetings with vendors, suppliers, contractors and trades to create lead generation
