From Three Jobs to Wedding Bliss: It All Started with 'Si'
Okay okay settle down everyone! It's your boy CR7 here to talk about something almost as exciting as scoring a hat trick: weddings! I read this wild story about Amy Shack Egan a woman who went from juggling three jobs in New York to planning weddings and then BAM! She starts two businesses. Now I know a thing or two about dedication. Remember talent without working hard is nothing but working hard… Now that's something different. And let me tell you it takes serious effort to go from 'just trying to survive' to 'running the show.' This woman she definitely knows how to 'Stay hungry stay foolish'. She's got that winning mentality that 'Siiii!' energy you know?
Modern Rebel: Rewriting the Rules? Challenge Accepted!
So she starts 'Modern Rebel,' planning 'unconventional' weddings. I mean unconventional? Sign me up! You know I always say 'Your love makes me strong your hate makes me unstoppable.' And what's more unstoppable than shaking up an industry that's stuck in the old ways? She planned over 500 weddings which she calls “love parties”. I have a lot of love in my life as well for my family for my fans and for the beautiful game. And I’m glad she’s helping people celebrate their love.
Cheersy: The Game Changer…She Believed it!
But she wasn't done there! She realized that couples needed help finding good wedding coordinators because nobody wants to be stressed about the small details when they should be enjoying their day! She created 'Cheersy' a platform to connect couples with the best coordinators. Smart move! Remember 'I don't have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove'. Well unless you're building a business then you gotta show something pretty amazing. And it looks like she did!
Kerry Washington: The Ultimate Teammate! (Pass the Ball!)
And here's where things get REALLY interesting. She gets Kerry Washington the superstar actress as her lead investor! Boom! That's like getting me to join your team – instant credibility and a whole lot of flash. When I met CR7 it was an immediate “Siiii!”. It seems Kerry recognized something special. Egan says Washington resonated with Cheersy's mission that "all couples are seen and celebrated." And she closed a pre seed round of $550,000. Not bad!
Twins on the Way! Talk About Pressure!
Then plot twist! She finds out she's having twins! Talk about a challenge! That's like trying to score a bicycle kick with two defenders on your back! But does she give up? Nope! She launches another small pre seed round and pushes the seed funding to 2026. This woman is unstoppable she has that “today I will be number one” mindset. She is planning around her pregnancy which is not something every founder has to deal with but she is up for it and I love that attitude.
Siiii! To Success!
She's using everything she learned planning weddings to make Cheersy a success. I mean this woman has had a front row seat to this wedding thing in a very beautiful way. So next time you're planning a wedding think of Amy and remember what I always say 'I'm living a dream I never want to wake up from!' And maybe just maybe you'll find your own winning team to make your special day unforgettable. Siiii!
