In her interview on the Sweet life entrepreneur podcast Brielle dove into detail about how to go ahead about achieving these results in the foundation of celebrity. This is taking your entire business into account, not just your press pitch. It means thinking about how you’re showcasing your offers and your programs, and ensuring that your client experiences are all designed and in place prior to achieving media attention. It's important to do this to make the most of the attention that you receive.
