Ashley Madekwe of Revenge and creator of Ring My Bell; Will Gluck - Film Director, Screenwriter, Producer (Easy A).  Ashley and Will addressed haters.  Will made a good point not to be a hater because you never know when it can come back around to bite you in your (butt).

Jeff Rudes, CEO and Founder of JBrand Jeans.  My favorite quote from him was, "No matter how big you get, stay small."

Randi Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg's sister) and founder of RtoZ Media.  She stated to think social media as much as you can because it trumps experience.  And also, to always be kind to people because you never know who your future social contacts will be. 

Cocktail Hour.

A Fine Frenzy Performance

I know, I know.  You are all probably sick of seeing or hearing about the Lucky FABB event, and the million hash tags that go along with it.  But.  I have to share my experience, because it was an amazing day.  Lucky FABB is Lucky Magazine's Fashion and Beauty Blog Conference.  It's a day of learning from so many successful and inspiring entrepreneurs, with different hats, in different industries.

I think the biggest theme from the day I walked away with is, there has never been a more inspiring time to be a female entrepreneur involved in social media.  Zac Posen stated that as bloggers, we have a true, free voice to create our own identities.  We can go in any direction and be anyone we want.  How we harness that  identity through social media, can dictate our success.

I almost passed this event up, but I'm so glad I didn't.  I think it's important to immerse yourself in your passions, to make connections, and to learn as much as you possibly can, in order to grow.  Surrounding yourself with people who once had a beginning and are now thriving, is empowering.  It's empowering to know that dreams can be achieved through hard work.  That you can be successful in a career that is fulfilling.  And the only thing that is stopping you from getting there, is you.
