The Steps To The Steps




My very first guest blog post was for #eventprofs founder and mega event industry superstar, Lara McCulloch.


When asked to write about my mobile app, I defaulted to here's the app and here's what it does, but Laura wanted something more for her readers. Laura wanted to know HOW and WHY I created the app.

Oh snap! Would I have to give away my (not so secret) secret recipe?


Sometimes when I'm in a creative space, I don't actually see the process, and I wasn't sure that my process was even translatable.

I just did it. Right?

In typical ME fashion, as soon as I said, I don't think I can translate my process... The process just started pouring out of me and on to the page.

I started with 5 steps,and ended up with 8.

Thanks to Laura's word limit, and my mother's editing, I created list of steps that anyone can use to help them get started in the mobile app game.

Read the post on Laura's blog and feel free to leave comments or ask questions. I'll check in from time to time to respond.




Thanks Laura!
