You're probably wondering why I decided to start up again... Well, for the past year and a half a few of my girl friends from high school and I have been having monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) coffee dates. It's been really amazing to take a couple hours out of our crazy schedules and just chat about anything and everything that comes to mind.
Today we had a our morning coffee date at my place. I had coffee, tea, bagels, cream cheese, donuts, strawberries and mini muffins for us to snack on. We caught up on what we've all been up to; Amy busy with her invitation business, Stephanie with her Mary Kay and me with finishing up my oldest daughter's school yearbook (oh boy was that an accomplishment, lol) A topic came up about how different it is now with getting a job, keeping a job, promoting within a big company, starting your own business and making money blogging or having Vlogs. The last one was a big one for us. We aren't that old but didn't grow up with all this technology at our fingertips. This is a whole new world for us when it comes to starting a business. Now, Amy is a small business owner, she is an amazing invitation designer that does invites for baby showers to weddings. (Beaumont Ink) She is learning how to tap into the virtual world of marketing and getting her website/instagram/facebook pages noticed by more. All of us realized by this conversation that there is SO much that goes into it and getting a following is not easy. You have to be consistent, different and really work at getting yourself and brand out into the social media world. Amy will still be researching and watching/reading other peoples blogs and vlogs on how to build your company online. I will be researching more of that too because of new things happening in my life. With that being said =) I am going to be blogging more (not waiting 3 years + between each blog ;) ) and letting you all know my BIG plans for the future =)
Have a beautiful and blessed Wednesday!
