Have you ever said yes to something before you felt ready and then had to figure it out along the way? 

If so, you’re not alone. In this episode of Business From Scratch, Abbye sits down with Brittanie Pate to explore how that exact mindset can lead to unexpected growth and opportunity.

Brittanie shares how she built her event planning and venue businesses not through traditional marketing, but through strong, genuine relationships especially with vendors. What started as simple connections evolved into consistent referrals and a reliable stream of business. This episode highlights the power of community over competition, and how shifting your mindset can completely change the way you grow.

If you’re in a service-based business and feel stuck relying only on ads or social media, this conversation will open your eyes to a more sustainable and often more effective approach: building real relationships that last.
