When building your business online, have you thought about or been open to working with others overseas? 

A few years back, I was direct messaging with one of my dear friends now, @kristinartodorova. She and I were talking about ways to work together as well as ways to expand and promote one another. And I left the call feeling so excited! I felt like I had broken into a new market in England and this would be the start of a relationship that would continue to expand into the future. 

Little did I know, fast forward a few months, Kristina would be founding the @wearecocreated Hub. We would be connecting many other business owners from around the world, and I would have the pleasure of co-founding this community with her. 

When some people get into business they think they will make money fast, have quick wins, and they’re ready to walk away when a few relationships don't end up working out how they had hoped. I have learned many things from my friendship with Kristina, and one of them was to allow space and time for ideas to flow, and growth will come naturally; collaboration will flow smoothly when the time is right.
