Sistas, supporting each other's businesses is vital to making and keeping our communities and finances strong. I, for one, am very interested in doing business with people who do business with me. How do you feel about that? It's funny to me how your friends and family neglect to support your business, but will purchase the same products from other sources. I've learned that the most support comes from total strangers who understand and believe in your products and/or services. Entrepreneurship is not an easy journey, but certainly a fun one, an one that we can all identify with. Therefore, my proposal is for us to commit to each other.

Here's what I have to offer:

1) Ardyss International - Amazing weight loss program, nutritional supplements, great skin care, green household products, medical grade reshaping garments, and work from home business opportunities. www.lookthinin10.com

2) Just Write 4 Now - Assistance with writing business plans & proposals, resumes, editing, essays, personal, and more. www.justwrite4now.com

3) The Right Touch Phlebotomy Training - Providing phlebotomy training for companies and nursing groups nationwide. Technical writing assistance, SOP's, training manuals, curriculum development, and consulting for schools and companies. www.trtphlebotomytraining.com

What about you?

  • I totally agree with what you said and friends and family not supporting your business but will buy the same products elsewhere probably at a higher price. I guess it's because they've seen you grow up, know you too well and can't distinguish you from family member to business person. All of which can be quite discouraging if you don't keep focus.

    My Passion is Fashion and the Motto behind my business is "Looking Good Shouldn't Cost The Earth!" so I buy and sell quality clothes and Accessories at great prices!

  • Why Does it Have to Be So Hard?

     

    I am very supportive of others. Tell me what you are trying to do and I will try to help. What information or resources I don’t have, I will try to find for you or at least point you in the right direction, find someone that can help you.  I am one of these people that find it very difficult to ask anyone to do anything for me, I am not a sales person, and I don’t push my opportunities or products on anyone. I share and try to show the value.  Often times that works.   What I don’t like is so many people that want you to get into business with them, you sign up, make the purchase and they disappear.  There is little training and no support. On top of that, when you share your business or anything you would like to have support for, the people that you supported are MIA.

     

    We have to learn how to support each other. Circulate the dollars and resources within. This is too much of an individualistic society. Who truly makes it alone? We have to help one another. It does not have to be a huge chunk of money. We can help each other with referrals, office equipment or other needed supplies; we can donate different things that someone may need to operate their business. IF you have a great skill that may be of great benefit to someone do some bartering, something.

     

    And when it comes to charity, it is just has hard. I have been trying to collect clothing for a local shelter for months. I got one person to donate clothing. Another organization I support sends shoes to Liberia. I have not gotten one pair of shoes. I am collecting for a local pregnancy org that helps teen and pregnant women, I have not received one can of formula or diapers…I know that times are difficult. I am struggling. But I share when I can. It does the heart good to help. Even if it is one pack of socks to a battered women shelter. One box of baby wipes to a pregnancy program, a couple cans of vegetables to a homeless shelter. I am finding just how difficult it is. I thought it would be a lot easier. You care you Give. That is what I do. I don’t get it but I will not be discouraged. I will continue to do what I am supposed to do and donate when I can and educate and encourage others. You never know when you or someone you love may be in need.

     

    Business-Wise:

     

    I am in the process of offering evening and weekend childcare. Akron Ohio area.

     

    ·         NightLight for Lil Angels Care~
    I would like to provide evening and weekend care for babies. Most mothers today have to return to work after 6 to 8 weeks. The days of staying home 3 months to a year or longer are over in today’s tight economy. This service would be helpful for those who work evenings/nights or who need a break for shopping, appointments on weekends or for a weekend get-a-way.

     

    Donated clean, safe, working cribs, high chairs, play pins, strollers etc….would be very much appreciated.  I am trying to get started with “half “ a shoe string budget.
