Boy this was posted at a good time.

I have a small bath & body line and I have been feeling a little discouraged about business. But I know God has an awesome plan for me. I just need to PUSH.

Right now i'm praying that God sends me the customers and a financial increase to be able to invest in my business.

Please keep me in your prayers, because I know He has given me the power to get wealth. I just need to put more trust in Him and my ability.

What is your business?

Hey Savy!:kiss:
Wow your own bath/body line?! That's awesome!:grin: I feel you on the discouragement. That's why I started this thread. It's good to fellowship with like minded ones.

I'm gon try and minimize my post...I can talk on an on when it comes to this topic.:look: I have no desire to work a job or work for anyone. I'm not knocking jobs....I just prefer to be my own boss. Right now I have 2 business ventures in the making. I've invested in real estate with a friend of mine. I know what they saying bout the market.....BUT "they" don't know my Daddy.

And my business partners and I are working on a marketing corporation (marketing for businesses).

I'm an independent associate of Prepaid Legal Services. (I run it like a business not a hobby).

I plan on taking the monies I make from these businesses to open up my own restaurant.

As you can see I'm on a mission to give my children's children a lifestlye of wealth.

Okay, checking in here! My family owns a bed and breakfast on the southeast coast. I worked there FOREVER it seems 12-18. I am an independent contractor in a Destination spa (constantly trying to grow business). I am considering buying the spa I work in. I'm also an cosmetology educator. Busy me! But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Checking in! I was definitely born with an entreprenurial spirit. I made my first set of business cards at the age of four.

Sounds like I could learn a lot in this thread. I do have an entreprenurial spirit, but I don't have the motivation it takes to make any one idea that I have take off. Help a sister out. If you can see it, believe it and have all the capabilities to make it happen. What do you do to get your feet off the ground?

Now I know you didn't just say have "all the capabilities to make it happen"....you don't know how blessed you are if that's the case. A lot of us don't have access to that. If you don't have the motivation but you really wanna walk in your entreprenurial spirit you gotta press yourself to the prize.:yep:

Hello, there!
Oh, yes, I have always been an entreprenuer at heart!

At age nine, I was making arts and crafts out of consturction paper, and trying to sell little "keepsake" boxes to anyone who would take them!:lachen:

I had my own "dating service" from 19-21. I won't go into details on that one other than to say thank God for deliverance from some things.....

Later, I became an independent beauty consultant for a cosmetics company; did that for 10 years, (just pulled out of it last year).

I was also a licensed nail technician and esthetician and worked for several years as an independent contractor.
I also taught airbrush classes from time to time for a little pocket change!
But I quickly got burned out on that industry.:ohwell:

Let's see, what else,
I have taken numerous real estate investment courses over the years.
I would like to invest in a couple of rental properties,these would be for my childrens inheritance.

I am currently in college, and by the time I am done with grad school and get my therapists license, I intend to go into private practise.
I've even been downtown, seen the newly built offices, and know which space I would like to lease!( Gotta have faith)

Another goal of mine is to write and have my work published.
God has blessed my with the gift of creative writing, I've known this since the 8th grade.
I believe I would be an excellent childrens books writer; I've written short stories for my own children.

But I'm trying to figure out how to parlay that into writing books on life lessons for young women, particulary african american females who struggle with self esteem issues, my target audience would be between the ages of 12-18.
God will have to lead me on that one, but I need to get busy on that because I actually started on a project in the summer of 2005, but it has literally been shelved (for now).



Okay,I think that's it.......:yep:

I luv this thread.........:grin:

[crlsweetie912]

I do I do!
Well, years ago I was a licensed cosmetologist. I developed a severe case of carpal tunnel and had to quit (through the grace of God, I had surgery and have been delivered!)
I would love to own my own salon. Specializing in healthy hair care/rather than just making the hair "look" good.

Also, I love to make jewelry and I would love to sell it, but I haven't had the capital to purchase supplies in bulk like I need to. But ONE DAY!

hmm, I don't think so. I sold most everything I make and haven't done it in awhile. But I am SERIOUSLY contemplating going back into it really soon.

Please do! We gotta utilize the gifts our Daddy gave us.:yep:

[All_Me]

I do! I have my own graphic design/consulting business. God always places people in my path who have a vision but dont know how to get it off the ground so I try my best to assist. Currently I am working on my website that Im designing myself. I have a BA in Communications. AA in Graphic Design. And in August I will have my MBA! Yes one class to go! Also in August I will be starting law school to get my JD. I will have my own business. I bought my first property, condo. I currently live in it but want to rent it out by the end of this year and purchase another property. I am looking for another independent business/affiliate opportunity. I tried AmeriPlan but was not that successful. I don't mind sells but it has to be something I really want to do. I've looked into them all. It may not be for me. But I love that God has given me the spirit to give along with the Entreprenurial Spirit! I want to be a blessing to the nation.
:grin:
