ENTREPRENEURS MUST MAKE MONEY!

Entrepreneurs today are struggling. A few are earning but the greater majority of people are not able to earn enough to sustain themselves in businessYes the economy is damp but business stimulates the economy. So the need for entrepreneurs is greatToday I see an incredible interest in business and more are taking the plunge headlong into entrepreneurship. Commendable & I applaud youHowever, the statistics of entrepreneurs making money is not on the rise. In fact, the numbers are staggeringNow, being in business and staying in business does call for some overhead dollars. Even the basics – maintaining a website, small advertisements etc. The struggle is, entrepreneurs without a foundation in business or no hands on real marketing plan are destined to go around in circles for yearsSo many get ensnared in all the gimmicks online and set themselves back many yearsWinning in business hinges on solid business principles, a decision to win, robust skill set and a kick butt marketing, tactical plan of action – add daily support to reduce the window of errorsThere’s a huge difference between spoon feeding and giving people the right tools, skill set and game plan to go win in businessMost do not have a business background nor do they understand the changing face of marketing online and offlineBut as entrepreneurs today, if you don’t snap out of it, and begin separating fact from fiction on the internet and take responsibility for your future and business you are in for a bitter dose of reality – a lot of effort, no progress, no money and not too much further from where you startedThe dawn of a new era is here, listen to the call and move with a sense of urgency and get the answers – it’s your time!(This is for you if you are a small business owner, mlm marketer, internet marketer, entrepreneur, work from home, earn from home, direct marketing entrepreneur)Nadira180DaysToGreatness Creator & Coachwww.180DaysToGreatness.comFollow me on Twitter www.twitter.com/nadirahaniffEmail: coach@nadirahaniff.com

Find Your Focus

Hello to all my BBWO online friends. I wanted to take the time to write this blog post today because I think it is an issue that many of us struggle with. In addition, it was something that Richelle touched on in her online chat today with LaShanda and that LaShanda has said to us over and over again.As many of you know, I create natural bath and body products with the aim of adding moisture to the skin. I use shea butter, cocoa butter, virgin coconut oil and several other oils. As black women (and men) we are fighting ashiness, especially in the winter. We are no strangers to grease. Not those of us who were brought up on Vaseline and Crisco and used A&D ointment on our babies' bottoms (I'd slather that stuff on my baby's bottom!! It' was like an inch thick.)When I first started out, I gained a lot of knowledge from boards where there weren't a great deal of Black women, or alt least they weren't many of them posting. The advice was to add cornstarch to your butter to "cut down on greasiness". So I did. And I chased after a target market that was not very interested in my products, or at least from what I could tell from click and sales.Now, a year later, with my experiences with BBWO and other sites of its kind, as well as the many Black business folks I interact with on Twitter, I've finally come to understand and embrace my target market. It's not about trying to sell to the world or to exclude certain demographics. It's about being REAL.My products are meant for people like me - black women with children who have eczema - (Eva's Shea Buttah is the mix I use on my own little one's eczema) but also want a touch of luxury for themselves. The products are affordable and handmade with love by me - Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.By the way, I took the cornstarch out of my recipe for success, both literally and figuratively (wink) - why stunt the effectiveness of the pure natural butter on your skin? (big grin)Understanding your target market is so important - it' saves you a lot of time, money and effort.Currently, I am working on a blog post about exactly how I found my target market - will post when I'm done!And of course, don't forget to visit www.neosoulessentials.com - we now have layaway and Gift Baskets for Christmas and Kwanzaa.

Today I received my order from Aseyori African Market. When I first visited the site I had to really take my time and poke around simply because there is such a huge selection of various items to choose from! So for my first time order I decided to buy a few beaded bangle braclets. Perfect for summer AND evening ! Now you ladies don't know me but I'm the type of shopper that says "Why buy 1? " "Let me buy a few to stack them up and really stand out!" So I browsed the color selction and choose two each of the bracelets you see above.Ladies let me tell you,these are absolutely beautiful! They're also VERY well crafted. No loosey-goosey beading that if you're out your praying" Please don't let all these beads fall off out here in public!". (Don't play, I know I'm not the only one to ever buy something cheap and regret it later!)So like I've said before in other reviews,if you're on the fence,give this company a try. I think you'll be pleased.My next purchase will a few bags that CeeCee reviewed previously.Candace
