ok. so last night my fabulous husband hosted a networking event geared toward "Green Business". Of course I went along as well and it was great speaking to all sorts of people and getting their feedback, seeing what other people are out there doing, etc. So last night added more fuel to my fire. I feel a bit renewed and ready to do the things I know I should be doing in order to grow my business. Last week I was a bit overwhelmed and figured out that I don't entirely see myself as a "business owner"...I guess I was seeing myself as an artist/designer first, business owner second. But after really thinking about it, I need to see both designer & business owner as equal partners. DUH...It's easy for me to get lost in my artwork...be a hermit. Finish pieces and then think, "this is fun and fabulous"...but then what? Oh yeah. If I want to make this a career I need to sell my work. That includes all aspects of business owner as well. It's as simple as that. So far my experience with selling my work has been quite positive in that I really love it when I see people playing "dress up". They do this when they buy things to adorn themselves. I like giving people that feeling of freedom and fantasy. It seems natural to me.
By the way, I'm looking for a tag line. In case you're wondering, it's something like for example, that diamond jewelry company that uses the tag line, "a diamond is forever", you know the one. So I want to propose to my friends (those who have seen my collection), if you can come up with a tag line that suits my vision, I'd award the winner with a free piece of jewelry. Just a thought. I think it would be fun to see what my close friends come up with. My jewelry is not for the wallflower types. It is bold and dares a woman to be her fantasy, all the while being conscious of how she gets there.
