Kristina and Maria are celebrating 5 years of The Social Snippet today and to celebrate, each of them are bringing the top 5 lessons they’ve learned from their time scaling an agency and navigating life as a full time entrepreneur.

This is a raw and honest conversation about the highs and lows of building a sustainable business from the ground up.

They discuss:

Trusting your instincts and learning to be careful who you take business advice from.
The value of mindset and investing in yourself to grow your business.
The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and being willing to hire people who are smarter than you.
Why not all advice is created equal and not all the dreams you are sold are real.
How major growth requires investment and sacrifice.
Their dreams for the next 5 years.

These last 5 years have been the most expansive and life changing years for Kristina and Maria. So many lessons learned, people added to their Kanye lists, and incredible businesses served.

They are as excited for the next 5 years as they are grateful for the past 5. Thank you to all The Social Snippet’s clients, employees, and community members for lifting the business up and allowing it to become what it is today. We are so grateful for you!

If you are in the thick of growing your own business and want to learn from the failures and breakthroughs that have shaped The Social Snippet, tune in!
