12 Days of Secret Santa: From Emily to Candace

By Tea (the Chef) Silvestre 2 Comments

Welcome to the first day of our 12 Days of Secret Santa project!

Starting today, and for each of the next 11 business days leading up to Christmas, I’ll be giving away gifts to both a lucky nominee AND the nominator.

Today’s gift: “Attract and Feed a Hungry Crowd: How thinking like a Chef can help you build a solid business” (the Kindle version)

The Giftee: Candace Nicholson of Incandescere

Submitted by: Emily Suess of Suess’s Pieces

Here’s what Emily wants the world to know about Candace:

Candace is a hardworking, talented writer and editor. She’s working hard to get to where she wants to be in her career and a very supportive member of the online freelance community. She should know that people value her contributions as a writer, blogger, and freelance colleague.

Do you know Candace or Emily? If so, send them a note of congratulations and share what you know about them in a comment below.

And now it’s your turn to show someone how much you care — nominate them for a Secret Santa gift, too. We’ll be taking new nominations through the end of the next week (December 14, 2012).

Awww, thank you so much Tea and Emily! I really appreciate the kind words and the free swag.

I had a feeling it was Emily who nominated me. She’s had to listen to me whine so much in the last 6 months (it’s been a rough year) and she’s always been supportive of my goals without telling me to shut up and quit bellyaching. LOL!

Thanks again, Tea. This is a great idea and I’m sure I’ll enjoy the book.

Kind Words & Kudos

I was dreading working on my website. I was never happy with the generic site that I had, but the thought of revamping and revising it made me uneasy. Then I met Tea. My experience working with Tea on my new website and marketing copy has been nothing short of incredible. Not only did she create a website that looks like a million bucks (for nowhere near what other developers wanted to charge me), she also taught me valuable writing and marketing skills that took my website copy from generic to …Kelli Proia

I have taken many marketing classes over the last few years and they were all great. The problem was I couldn’t take much action on all that I learned. I was missing some critical information that I needed before I could market myself and my business at all. I could not for the life of me find the words to express my brilliance (something we all have.) What made me unique, and how on earth could I find ideal clients without knowing? How could I explain, in words, my special talents? And then it …Nancy Meadows

Tea helped me find my tune! I had so much fun going through the exercises in the first few modules. [They] let me get to know myself and articulate my values and beliefs. The Word Chef Secret Sauce Workshop helped me tell my story and find a theme to brand my business in a way that is truly me. I’d be still lost and trying to figure out that something special if Tea hadn’t coached me through my big “aha” moment during our sessions. A big “thank you” to Tea for offering her Secret Sauce workshop!Rachel Rubin
