Breaking in the industry, who gave you 'the start' to get in the industry?  What steps did you take to get to where you are?

My first break was a political fundraiser in the home of a prominent family in Southern NJ. I volunteered all the services and provided some extras gratis. The opportunity came about following a conversation I had with the friend of the host. Basically, I told her about my concept and background and she immediately provided me with an introduction to her friend who was hosting the fundraiser. That one event manifested into at least five other events and so on…. There are many other examples of occasions where I was given to an opportunity to share my talents, judged the potential value in terms of exposure and then delivered above and beyond the clients’ and their guests’ expectations to generate repeat- and add-on business.
