Who knew laptops could be this stylish? Oh how I heart the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition, it just screams style. It screams so loudly that I think I would have to invest in an entirely new wardrobe just to walk around with it. A new wardrobe and a new laptop who wouldn’t want that? [click to continue…]

What inspired you to start your business?
I started Creative Virtual Office when I was on bed rest with my second child. Finances were not good and I knew that it wouldn’t be long before my husband told me that I was going to have to go back to work after the baby was born. I knew there was no way I was going to let this happen so I decided to find some way to make money from home without leaving the house.
I started looking for freelance or virtual administration work. I got hired for a few jobs and realized that I could create a business around this if I wanted to. And Creative Virtual Office was born. After a year into my business assisting business professionals and other small businesses I discovered that I had an ideal client and I wanted to start building my business with just them in mind and my new business slowly started to take shape.

So I almost didn’t submit a picture this week for IHeartFaces.com. I was so behind with work I didn’t feel like rummaging through all of my photos. That is until I checked out Sunday’s pictures from Disneyland. We had a great time but it was exhausting. My son all of sudden decided he didn’t want to walk and was too good for the stroller, so we carried him most of the time, I am paying for it now. I tell you I better have lost at least 5 lbs lugging the boy across the park. Anyhow I stumbled across this picture and just so you know we weren’t even inside the park yet.
Remind you of something? “Whatchu talking about Willis?
Okay I might have aged myself, just humor me and tell me you know what I’m talking about.

Ever since I heard Soleil Moon Frye opened up her organic baby boutique, The Little Seed, I wanted to interview her about the store and how she is able to juggle it all. Then I found out Melissa Joan Hart opened her candy store, Sweet Harts. It amazes me how these two women can find the time in their already busy schedules to run a business!
It’s always interesting to find out how and why other mom entrepreneurs start their business, and even better when they are willing to provide advice that will encourage other moms to venture out.
Thursday I had the chance to interview both of these successful women virtually. I sent in a series of questions and they answered them on camera. They talked about a really cool party they hosted, “The Better Together” party, and discussed how important friendships are to woman and moms.
What a great concept too. I think it’s important for moms and women to take some time out of their busy schedules to hang out with friends, even if it can only be for a couple of hours a week.
Check out the video.

Last night, I listened to the recorded edition of Sarah Shaw’s Ustream call and it really got me thinking. I’ve owned an online baby boutique for several years now and while it has been bringing in a steady amount of income, I find myself thinking that I should be doing more. I’ve bounced around the idea of starting my own clothing line or product but have never really followed through.
It’s very frustrating because it seems whenever I think of something – I will always find something similar at one of the trade shows months later. Then comes the thought, “why didn’t I just follow through.” Maybe I’ve just been scared to really put myself and my money out there. Sure I know that you can’t succeed without risks, but when it comes to money it makes me cringe. What happens if I put all of my money out there and fail and lose it all?
Even with the risk of losing it all, I can’t stop thinking about creating my own brand. I have so many ideas and now I’m really thinking its time to put myself out there and accomplish something great. Have you ever felt like you are “almost there” but you just need to take that last leap? What did you do?
I’ve been following closely on Sarah’s website, The Entreprenette Gazette, and it sounds like she’s talking to me. The person on the edge of success trying to figure out the next step.
In today’s post, Tips on how to discover a new product to invent, Sarah gets views from several different entrepreneurs on ways to discover that product.
