Starting My Own Business!

So as a Stay-at-home-Mom that dabbles in yoga teaching, I've felt pretty helpless to our struggling financial situation this past year. With Dave being self-employed in the construction industry during a recession, it's been tough for us. I'm a firm believer in opportunities presenting themselves when they're needed most. I ran into an old friend at a birthday party and she told me about selling lia sophia jewelry. After doing some research and going to some shows and meetings, I decided I could do this too! I get a girls night out whenever I want and a huge jewelry selection for a very minimal cost to me, plus I get to make money! Sold! That sounds like a great job description to me! And then I can feel like I'm contributing a bit more to our family income, or at the very least work towards paying Arden's preschool tuition for next year.

The first step was to line up my first shows and have my own starter show at my house! It was fun to have a reason to entertain and have friends over to look at some pretty jewelry. Then I got to order a bunch of stuff for a very limited cost because of being a hostess! I got 7 pieces of jewelry for about $100! And these pieces build my display when I go out and do shows.

The next step was to go out and do my first shows! I had a blast! Thanks to my friends and family that hosted them! And I made some good money while having fun!

Now to keep on truckin' booking shows and learning new tips and ideas to make my business better! Let me know if anyone is interested in some great jewelry, hosting a show, or starting your own business!
