My Recent Trip To Haiti

Posted on August 30, 2010 by

One of the most amazing things about owning your own business is that you can decide when to take off… for a break…for vacation…or for something more important.

Haiti.

I was fortunate enough to lead a group donw to Port au Prince to do missionary and relief work. Yeah, I’ve travelled the globe and seen quite a bit. This time poverty + destruction was something new for me.

I have never seen street kids. The amazing thing about these kids who have only the clothes on their back is that they speak French Creole and English. Out of necessity. In order to survive. But still, more than most American kids of similar age.

Visiting the orphanage broke my heart.

Watch the video for just a taste. At the end, there is information on how to support the Bousol Timoun Orphanage. Leave your comments on the youtube page or here.

I wonder, could I house 36 kids in my home….hmmmm.

I Created My Own Fashionable Footwear Company

Posted on May 20, 2010 by

The main reason why I decided to make a change was because I couldn’t see myself working the same job for someone else for the rest of my life. I needed to have control of when I wanted to take vacation, or if I wasn’t feeling well, I could just work from home. I also didn’t want to depend on someone else for a paycheck. If a recession happens again in twenty years, then I don’t have to worry about losing my job. After dealing with my hospital experience in college, I refuse to ever be in such an outrageous workplace where supervisors are corrupt and employees place blame on others. Continue reading →

Jobs In Focus

Posted on May 20, 2010 by

Source: CNN

This morning I watched this piece from CNN on jobs and career. It discusses the current economy and how people are coping, getting by and remaining hopeful.

This is a great piece because it shows the realities of not having a job, or home. It depicts urban campers- people who live in motor homes. It shows how one father is doing whatever it takes to feed his kids.

Some are reinventing themselves, such as the Washington DC lawyer from Curbside Cupcakes (I can relate). A PR guy who is now an paramedic. Even a clown.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words. Video Is Worth So Much More

Posted on May 18, 2010 by

When marketing my company, Travertine Spa Collection, I use a variety of methods. Mostly easy, inexpensive and creative.

Last year I bought a flip video (I think I saw it on a Christmas Gift segment on TV). I learned how to use it and started making videos.

In the beginning I would tell people about the “celebrities” who used our products. I got no response. When they saw the photos on the website, I got calls and “how did you do that?” questions.

The visual makes a difference. Are you using visuals in your business?

I’m my case, images and video depict a day in the lifestyle of my business. High-end Luxury.

Start marketing your business with video. its cheap, fun and easy to disseminate. If it goes viral like Keyboard Cat you will be glad you did.

Here is a day in the Life with NFL Players.
