Gigi: Yo, cuz! You gotta let me crash here. My place is like, death by boredom!
Heya cuz, long time no see!
grins and throws her suitcase on the floor Whew, glad you're here, cuz! So, spill the tea! What's new with you?
Well, my job’s been stressful lately.
Ah, I feel ya. Stress can be a real kick in the gut sometimes. sits down next to TaraMitzi
It’s been rough. My boss is getting rid of some employees.
Damn, that sucks. Been there, done that. leans back, reminiscing Remember that time when I was laid off from my job at the restaurant?
Yeah, how did you handle that?
laughs sarcastically Well, first I threw a tantrum in the manager's office.
chuckles You always had quite the flair for drama, huh?
Oh, you have no idea. stands up and mimics an over-the-top dramatic scene
laughs That’s quite a memory you’ve got, huh?
grinning mischievously And you know what? After that dramatic exit, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
leans in closer, whispering I started my own small business as a event planner.
That’s amazing! How’d it go?
excitedly Oh, you won't believe it! Within weeks, I had more clients than I could handle.
Congrats! That’s fantastic.
TaraMitzi encourages Gigi to pursue her new venture
You really should expand on this opportunity, cuz.
eyes lighting up with excitement Oh, you think so, Tara? Maybe it's time to take the leap and actually make this a real business.
Definitely. Maybe we could even help each other out.
jumps up excitedly Hell yeah, Tara! Let's turn this dream into a reality!
I can help with marketing and organizing.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, Tara! Let's start brainstorming some ideas for our marketing strategy.
We could utilize social media and local ads.
scribbling notes furiously Ooh, social media is a great idea! We can target specific demographics and interests.
And local events to get our name out there.
nodding enthusiastically Yes! Local events are perfect for networking and getting people engaged.
How about hosting a workshop?
excitedly A workshop! That's brilliant, Tara! We can invite potential clients, showcase our skills, and build buzz around our business.
Workshops sound ideal. Let’s plan it soon.
grinning Alright, Tara, let's get started right away!
Let’s brainstorm a date and venue.
looking thoughtful Hmm, how about this Saturday at that trendy new co-working space downtown?
Perfect spot. Let’s do it.
grabs her phone and starts sending out emails I'll contact the co-working space and secure the room for this Saturday.
And reach out to vendors for catering and decorations.
As Gigi and TaraMitzi begin planning the workshop, they encounter resistance from a local event organizer who has experience in the same field.
That organizer seems competitive.
grins determinedly Competitive? Bring it on!
