My 1st NETWORKING-AHHHH! It was a SUCCESS🫡🤪

My first networking event was sucess!

A lot of you do not know but I do not know but I do a lot of things😭🤍. I am a flight attendant who is also is in the military reserves. I have a business called The Blank Agenda selling digital planners and other digital products to help people succeed. I am an alternative artist who goes by JeeBeeSea, last year I had 19hrs of streams on Spotify, but 31k streams on Youtube🤍✨ for my song No Lovey Dovey.

I decided that I wanted to take my music life more serious and step foot into the scene, that I prayed about it and add to my vision board that I want to network with more people this year😭😭

A few days later, I seen a now hiring post for graphic designers to the recording studio I usually went to. I decided to apply, and didn’t know what I was getting myself into because I only did graphic designing for myself. I was a real beginner. But they loved the work I did for myself and decided to bring me onboard.

Now I work at a recording studio where I am allowed to use the equipment and network with other artists.

Last night I felt in my element working and meeting new artists.

I am excited to see where else this will take me.

Fake it until you make it!
