This past week I joined a swap for fellow budding and existing entrepeneurs who's businesses are home based. We had to share our "stats" and answer some really good questions about why, when and 5 year forecasts. We then had to go to each other's websites, blogs, stores, etc and subscribe, read, and enjoy. While my progress has been painstakingly slower than molasses, this swap and these ladies were just the kick in the pants to get me that much more motivated to press on. Take a moment to check their sites out:
Marni for you east coast people and Nancy for you west coast people. they both have Avon sites for all your beauty needs. From cleansers, to moisturizers, to perfumes and jewelry and everything in between. I know of a few ladies, including my mother, who sold Avon and were pretty successful. For my mother, who is Korean, Avon was a lifeline to meeting new friends in a foreign country with beauty as the common theme. Check out their sites and if you need anything and don't already have a regular Avon lady, give them a shout out!
Next we have Megan. She is currently working on her Ph.D and is a self proclaimed student-for-life. Her blog is Ph.Dead and is all about her life as a post graduate student, teacher, artist, and more. I would say she is a mash of Goth meets Ivy League meets Indie type of read. Check out her blog, you just may be inspired!
Now Annette is a soon to be budding fabric artist. Watch out for her as she is finishing up her thesis in animation and illustration, and will be focusing on the fabric art afterwards! Her website is KristenCollins and it is an online portfolio of her work. Very creative gal who is also a mash of Goth meets Anime meets Indie. Be on the lookout for Annette's work in the fabric and art arenas in the near future!
Just as equally talented, we have Ashley. She is all things scrapbooking and sewing and has a online store for all your scrapbooking needs. She specializes in the different cutting machines and even sells handmade covers in her etsy store, CE8TIVE INSTINCTS. Her blog is fun and motivational, plus she posts sales for all her blog followers and lurkey loos! Go check her out and see if you find a deal from her!
These are some of the people I get to meet on Swap-bot. Fun...motivational...inspirational...!
So take some time to check them out and as always, have a blessed day!
yay! i can't wait to see your biz up and running!
