I was supposed to post this yesterday, but I woke up sick and ended up going to the doctor. For my prize I get a druggy cocktail of antibiotics, allergy pills, and ibuprofen! However, I am feeling a lot better, so let's just pretend it's still Monday and I'm on the ball.
I recently finished Indie Business 3.0, a web course for women who run small businesses, and a bunch of us decided that yesterday would be Launch Day. Some folks are opening their shops, other people are starting new blogs, and some ladies (like me!) are launching new product lines.
I kind of cheated and posted mine early, which, in retrospect, turned out to be just fine.
You can see my new items in the shop, and be sure you click here for the full rundown of everybody participating. There's a HUGE variety of goodies, including photography, jewelry, baby stuff, hair accessories, wall art... Just go and see for yourself. Talent abounds.
As for the course itself, I LOVED it. I'm one of the least business-minded people ever, so I wanted to take something that wasn't your typical fare. The class is run by three women who all have their own small companies and I found it much easier to relate to them than any other business education thing I've tried (which was two weeks of grad school--shoot me now). I definitely recommend it if you're looking to expand your little corner o' creativity.
Anybody else taken one of the Indie Biz courses? Maybe some other small business class? What'd you think?
i am doing some serious thinking of opening up a boutique so i will for sure check out this course! i just went to a business start up class last night and i was really overwhelmed with everything you need to do to start a business! i am sure i could relate more to like minded folk :)
ReplyDeleteYou really should check it out. They cover a lot of boutique topics. Plus it's very go-at-your-own-pace, which I think works better if you're trying to start/revamp a business and you need to balance your time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! Learning should always be fun :)
ReplyDeleteYour shop is beautiful! I was thinking about taking that course and it is nice to hear great stories about the course. Good luck with your new launch!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea about the course....I want to bring my etsy back up to speed and I have a new blog. I will definitely check out that course. Also, I love your silver capped earrings! :)
