3 Steps to Becoming a 
Successful Entrepreneur:

1.) Find what your true passion is and why you do it! For me when I become interested in owning my own business I had wondered what it was I wanted to do. That thing that would get you up early in the morning and keep you there late at night. The driving interste that would lead me to never look at the clock and just DO IT! Well it has beena  long road to doing now what I do, but I had several "attempts" that well lets just say it did not work. BUT.....I never gave up the idea of being my own boss! So years later I have found that thing that I am passionaite about and never looked back. Oh and a huge YES you can make money at anything in this life that you are passionate about ( ANYTHING) don't let anyone tell otherwise. 
2.) Start small but think big. Yes I am not the first to say this BUT it is 100% true. Take small manageable steps at first and then graduate yourself to larger tasks. My wife would laugh hearing ME say this because when I had my first few small successes I wanted to grow my company to a Million dollar business in 2 days , and well that did not happen ( only in my mind). Start with a little step everyday, and learn as much as you can one day at a time. Business can be a stressful, challenging, rewarding experience, but it is ALL worth it and YOU CAN as long as you stay true to the vision you have for your business. 
3.) Be your own MARKETING department . Promote yourself until the cows come home , and after they come home continue to promote. NO ONE WILL EVER care as much about your dreams as you will. Mark Cuban once said " No one gives a S&^% about your product" you have to make them want your product. Create a need for your product. That is the KEY to any marketing campaign or anything anyone is selling. Create a NEED!

I hope in a small way these words help you and motivate you into becoming the business owner YOU want  to be !
How to Start an Etsy Shop : 
Series Pricing your products to sell 

Many new sellers are very excited to have their Etsy shop and start selling their hand made products to the wordl, but many of them are now business minded. Figuring the right price and margins may be a foreign idea they do not have in mind. It can be a challeneg at first trying to find what price point is competitive and still makes a great profit!
This video I suggest some of the things I have learned along the way to figure a method for making money. Margins can be determined in many ways but here is a great informative video to help !


We have over 50 videos that will help you grow or start your etsy shop and online business ! From a real professional seller !
How to Use Social Media : 
Series Bloggers can promote your products or service ( for free) for you !

When I began this adventure into the world of online selling I had to familirize myself with the use of social media and how to navigate it and make it do what I needed it to do PROMOTE!
Well I came across an articla online that talked briefly about the use of bloggers ? I knew very little at the time about what bloggers even did let alone the use of bloggers to promote my business. Well fast forward to now and we have found bloggers to be a HUGE part of our marketing by design!
I found a huge group of bloggers ( food bloggers) on Facebook that would actually review my products in exchange for a review ? I would send the sample free of charge and ask them to post ( for all their follows) to see our products ( candy). The only cost was the shipping and production of the candy itself. Well it prooved to be a match made in heaven as we saw a huge surge in sales and exsposure. In thisvideo I talk about how we did in detail and what you can do to implemt to yur products .


How to Use Google Plus:
Series Promote your products or Service with Communities !

I have always been a firm believer in social media and use it ALL the time to promote my business and line of products. I had heard of Google Plus a few years ago but never actually looked into it. I learned a little about it online and decided I would do a little "experiment" and see just how it worked and if would be either a waste of time. So it was about 4 months ago I started a page for my business. I filled in all the required info a business name website etc etc ......WELL in only 4 months we have had close to 50,000 views and already picked up followers and traffic on other social media outlets as well as our website have soared. We have found it to be now a great additional social media platform to promote our business and our products. The following video I talk briefly about the benfeits the 'communities" within Google PLus can be for business.

Hope this video is a benefit and let us know how you did with them !
How to Start an Etsy or Amazon Store :
Series Stay away of supplier price increases 
One of the things as an entrepreneur we had to learn fast was to maintain our margins during supplier price increases. This is VERY important and most online beginners do not think about this as an important part of their daily "to do " list. We usually double check these price increases every quarter and adjust pricing accordingly and this is where you have to be vigilant. When of course you start a business you start it to make a profit, but when you allow suppliers to increase product costs that are part of the production of a final product increase your pricing to accommodate this incresse.

How to Start a Business Series:
 The Power of Goals


             Being a small business owner I have first hand experience in the challenges that face a start up with a limited budget. I have had to overcome numerous challenges that come from a start up ! But the most important yet simple message I have learned and I will offer is NEVER STOP DON"T GIVE UP! it may be at times a trickle yet when the days come that are an overflow it will be worth it.


As a small business owner I have HUGE goals for my business the greatest feeling is that everyday which passes and orders continue to come in I know just a little more that what I am doing IS hwat I should be doing and what I love doing. When setting goals here si the method that works for me.


            1.) Set goals that are attainable( and think of the goals that may seem unattainable) Heres what I mean when you start out you will not have all the answers or the exact path you should take to achieve your goals na dthat IS OK!!! Goals are a starting point where the view to achieveing them should be startight ahead ( you don't have to have the exact coordinates). make the goals something you feel firmly able to achieve. For example you want to set a goal for sales based on 1 month at a time ( so don't make a goal to make 100,000 dollars in 30 days) be realistic with a goal of making $10,000 a month till you fell your building up to $100,000. Setting a goal within the business you are in and understanding your industry will make allow you to set attainable goals that will give you the self confidence to reach fro a larger goal !
          2.) Setting goals you should WRITE THEM DOWN I have read hundreds of books on setting goals, The law of Attraction, and the power your mind has especially when you set a goal and WRITE it down ! I have used this myself and IT WORKS! I try each day to take at least 30 minutes by myself to review the day and my goals and where I am in achieving them. This can be a huge part in actually achieving them ! Writing things down allows you to reinforce the goal visually , and allows you to feel the goal . Write down as often the goals you do have and when you would like to see them achieved ! again be reasonable with the attainability of the gola in the time you want them.
          3.) There is a MENTAL MOTIVATION to setting goals ( at least) for me there is when you make a goal you set in motion the wheels in your mind to motivate you in the direction of attainaing them. I don't always know  the exact way to go about attaining the goal yet once I have a goal in mind I feel that I should just GET STARTED and the path will work its way out for me. It feels like a intuition of sorts. The amazingly thing is once yo have achieved a goal the first time you feel much more confident to set higher andhigher goals for yourself whoch will just continue to led to larger goals and then you know the methid works.


          When I was putting myself through college I worked 2 jobs and went to school full time all I did was work and school I had  the gola of getting me degree and that is exactly what I did. Looking back at it the challenge was met and won with work and focus and determination. I now use those qualities in my business everyday ! That gola lead me to another goal and then so on and so on !

How to Make Amazing Cake Balls :
 Make your Party one that EVERYONE will never want to leave because your cake balls!!!

se  what we can offer your party with our hand made and always fresh made to order cake balls


 

How to start an Etsy Shop to sell YOUR hand made items


So we have been selling on Etsy for over 4 years and have put a lot of work into getting 10,000 views a month of our hand made edible food items and we have been able to ship to 15 countries worldwide !


I say this ONLY because if you wanted to sell and ship your goodies to the world I will show you how we did it with blog posts on literally everything you  would want or need to know ! from starting in a  home to growing to a facility and from shipping rates to margins ( how much to charge)?  I will cover it all and give you direction for what each step will take and the best route to take to reach your business of selling online goal !


Selling online can be the most exciting and rewarding type of business because the fun is in the fact that you have the potential to sell to the world (literally). When I owned my Bakery /Deli we almost all relied on the traffic coming from the front door. With the presence online we have a store front open 24 hours a day.


The one main reason I love selling on etsy is there is a huge ,market for LARGE events like weddings !
the bulk of our over 100 piece orders comes from large events ...events like weddings and corporate events. We have created packaging that has appealed to the wide range of companies, events , universities and more! There is a huge community of sellers that sell hand made items and Etsy ( since it went public) has increased its seller and buyer base ! Which is great news for sellers . When you look at this way you have to get excited no matter what you sell because the "traffic" is what you want !


Like a strip mall that has a variety of stores and you own one you will get the extra traffic sources ! The video link below has great info along with over 50 videos from our channel take a look at our videos with specifics on how to grow your business online


One important thing to remember
when you start selling on etsy is the importance of a GREAT Listing for the item!
