The most important things to become a millionaire

When working with a variety of clients in Los Angeles, you have the chance to meet people who are extremely successful in what they do and some are even millionaires. I had the chance to speak with and write down some tips given to me by one of my most successful clients, Susanna, who is a celebrity fashion designer. I would like to share with you some of the tips she has given me, hopefully they will help inspire you, as they have for me:

The most important things to become a millionaire

1.       You must love what you’re doing and be passionate about it! It must excite you and make you feel like you own the whole world!

2.       You must be willing to work 120 hours a week. If you have a dream, you will never get tired.

3.       You have to love people and know how to make good friends and build a good relationship. You must be honest and never make any enemies.

4.       You have to create your own language. You create this language and introduce it to the world one at a time. For example, creating a new design or a new business is like creating a new language. You make the rules and teach it to your customers.

5.       You have to be generous and be very good to people. If you do that, it will all come back to you.

6.       Don’t work for money, work for your talent. When you work for your talent, money comes for you gradually, bigger than life.

7.       The boss leaves last, all the employees leave early. They are hands on with everything. They put in the most time. All millionaires are workaholics.

So says a new paper from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. "If we’re looking for an answer to jobs," Kauffman vice president Lesa Mitchell tells us, "it’s right in front of our face."

The country is in a recession, and Washington is tangling over how to create new jobs, but, according to a new paper from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, there’s a fairly simple potential source of them sitting right under our noses.

Women start high-growth companies, like those in high tech, at lower rates than men do, Kauffman-supported research has found. But the reason for this is systemic, rather than due to women’s innate capacity for entrepreneurialism, says the paper, titled “Overcoming the Gender Gap: Women Entrepreneurs as Economic Drivers.”

Selling jewelry online using the catalog

A lot of people ask about how they can use the catalog to sell online as we do not currently offer personalized websites to sell from. So, we have put together some tips for those who want to sell from the catalog to their friend and family online. See more about the catalog at: http://www.myaccessorybusiness.com/catalog/

Selling through email- Attach the catalog in an email to your family and friends asking them to check out the jewelry you are selling. You can make a list of each piece by name and send them a price list, or you can make all pieces one price. Ask them to email you the list of items they would like to order.

Selling on facebook or a website- You are able to send a link to the PDF catalog, currently: http://www.myaccessorybusiness.com/content/MAB_summer2013.pdf Through facebook, your blog, your website, twitter, etc... and also list your prices online or give one price for all and ask your customers to email you with the list of items they would like to purchase from you. 

Giving discounts- You can offer your own discounts to your customers to get them to buy more. For instance, if you sell each piece for $10 each, you can offer a deal such as Buy 2 get one free or 2 for $15 and still make a very nice profit. 

Getting a deposit- If you would like to collect money ahead of time from your customers who are buying from you, you may take their order and ask them to pay you through online payment sources like paypal. You may ask for a deposit of 50% or 100% of the total. It's up to you. This will help you, so that you will have the funds to pay for the items. You may also want to add a shipping fee if you plan on shipping the items to your online customers.

Shipping- If most of your customers are not located near you, you may want to charge a shipping fee for the items so that when you receive your order from My Accessory Business, you will be able to pay for the shipping to them. 

Pricing your items- Most of the items on My Accessory Business are $2.99 each. You can price each item however you would like but we suggest for the best results, you could price your items from between $6-$12.
