[04:00] – Worst Entrepreneurial Moment: When Courtney moved from Georgia to New England, she had to adjust because of the slow pace there.

[05:49] – Let people know what you’ll be doing and ask for feedback
[06:51] – Entrepreneurial AH-HA Moment: Courtney worked as a personal assistant to celebrities. She realized then that celebrities could barely keep up with all the PR packages they receive, so she decided to take her passion for design and create something different – like handwritten thank you cards. The feedback from those cards was very overwhelming – each person they sent it out to highly appreciated it
