Three women who started a business to make a difference!

In 2004 three women from Dearborn, MI, Janeen Sullivan, Julie Sullivan, and Judy McGinty, started a Women's Expo that would not only be a fun shopping experience for women and fellow woman business owners, but also this expo has a great cause behind it raising money to support the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan. The expo is thrown in memory of Brittany Crawford who lost her fight with Leukemia in 2002.

Their goal was to offer something unique for women in the Dearborn area with products and services that would interest women. This event would be similar to a larger women's expo held in Novi, Mi annually. The event is held at the Ford Community and Performing arts Center. It not only raises awareness for the center and promotes memberships, it also supports a great cause.

A variety of businesses exhibit at the expo every year including jewelers, beauty, home improvement, arts, accessories, massage, spas, cooking, and more. There is also a bridal/ fashion show included. The show is attended by over 2,500 attendees with 100 exhibitors. 

This story is inspiring not only because it's the story of women who started a business that helps other women business owners, but also because it was started in memory of a loved one with the hopes to help others who are diagnosed with Leukemia. What a wonderful way to honor her memory.

This years expo takes place on Sunday, March 4th, 2012 from 10am-5pm at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center 15801 Michigan Ave, Dearborn MI 48126. Visit their website at www.showforwomen.com It's a great cause, so if you're a women who owns a business, you should consider donating to their silent auction.

Your New Years Resolution: "I want to start a Business!"

It's time to start thinking about New Years resolutions for 2012. If one of your resolutions includes a career change or a plan to make more money this year, why not make a resolution to start your OWN business. It's not as hard as it sounds. The hardest part really is to start! It takes some motivation to get started so I have come up with some ideas on how you can get motivated by asking yourself these questions:

- Ask yourself what kind of business you want to start? Selling jewelry? Baking? Creating items you can sell? Doing a service based business?

- Who will benefit from my business? women? men? single moms? working women? kids? animals? businesses?

- Where will I be able to sell, advertise, get hype for my business? Stores? craft show booths? expos? door to door? home parties? online? in a newspaper? in a magazine? in a blog? through email? social media sites like facebook?

- How much will I have to put into starting up my business? inventory? displays? advertising costs? rent costs? cost for extra help if needed? storage costs? supplies? computer programs? special training?

- How much time am I going to need to spend on my business to start it up? Will it take a month to start up? 6 months? 1 year?

- How much time will I need to spend on my business each day? each week? each month?

- Who will help me get the word out and support the idea for my business? my family? my significant other? my friends? my children? my neighbors? my online friends? friends of friends?

- Will I partner with anybody or start out on my own? And will I hire someone to help me now or in the future?

Once you start asking yourself these questions, you will come up with more questions for yourself that you never though of, but don't get too overwhelmed. Just start by writing down the answers in your own words and begin your plan. Start researching what other people are doing in your field. Looking online is a good start. Start figuring out where you will get your supplies from, who you can ask to help you, and where you would like this business to be at in the next 6 months to a year. Start setting your goals and stick to them!

If you are unsure what kind of business you would like to start, selling jewelry is a great way to get involved in making sales. Even if your primary goal is to do any kind of business, you are always going to be selling! The My Accessory Business jewelry sales kits include everything you need to start selling jewelry on your own. They include the jewelry to sell, business, cards for you to write in your information, price labels, container to store your jewelry, and expert advice for any questions you may have. This is a great way to get comfortable making sales and learning about pricing your items, locations to sell at, who to sell to and how to close a sale. The jewelry included in the kits can be resold for double, even triple the cost. Why wait to get starting on your New Years resolution to start your own business? The kits start at only $49 and can be purchased online at www.MyAccessoryBusiness.com Visit the website for more information.

Whatever your New Years resolution may be, stick to it and never give up on your dreams. Check back to this blog often for more inspirational stories of women entrepreneurs, tips on starting your own business, jewelry giveaways, and more!

Woman-run Business Profile: Capelta Couture

I'd like to share with you the story of Monique Capelta, the small town girl from North Carolina, turned model, turned actress, turned couture boot designer. While she was living in New York, NY, she created a wore her own furry boot designs. She was so broke, she could not afford to buy the expensive boots that she saw in the windows a the high end department store, so she made her own from pieces she acquired from the local Goodwill. One day, Monique was approached by a representative from a high end designer who asked if she wanted to sell her designs. Though it seemed like most anyone would have jumped at the opportunity, Monique politely turned down the offer because she knew that one day she would achieve her goal of starting her own boot line where with her own name on the label.

Her next step was to move to Los Angeles, CA, where she attended red carpet events, celebrity parties and events while launching her acting career. Monique wore her boot designs and found that they attracted more attention than she could even imagine. Suddenly, her boot designs were attracting all sorts of investors, celebrity praise, and fans all over Hollywood and anywhere she would travel.

In 2004, she began talks with investors, boot manufacturers and PR companies in order to begin the launch of her couture boot business. She wrote a business plan, made samples to send to the factory, locked in deals with investors and signed up for trade shows in Las Vegas, New York, and various other National and International fashion trade shows. She also shot her first advertising campaign and designed her first look book.

The road to success for Monique was never a smooth ride, there were always obstacles along the way, but she overcame those obstacles and now Capelta Couture is sold in over 70 stores across the country, and sold online internationally. It is worn by a variety of celebrities including the cast of Jersey Shore, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Kate Moss, and more!
