I agree with Morgan about the concept of their being good business mangers and fantastic, gorgeous, respected, professional ladies who have managers. Unfortunately, they are about as rare as the ladies who can handle their own business. OG is right its about who you reach out to. One good thing about being managed is you are less likely to make mistakes because someone who has been there and done that is there to show you the way. I sometimes wished that I had someone to call and ask random questions of but I am very cautious of getting too close to anyone in the hobby. Luckily, I was blessed to meet with the wisdom of more experienced clients who are genuinely good people and have a lot of valuable advice. I'm so grateful to be on the other side of that recently and helping new person to the hobby find a few good providers to see. That's how I like to pay it forward.
