Kiosk or Storefront? http://wp.me/p4crVx-jk

Let me catch you up on my journey.My husband and I buy and rehab mobile homes in a University town to sell for profit. I love doing it and it fills a creative spot I require to function properly. We have two more to do (at least). One we bought that is not that bad structurally but had a hoarder in it and we have to deal with what that can do to a property (ever watch the show hoarders then you know). [ 867 more words. ]

Mondays Need I Say More http://wp.me/p4crVx-jg

Mondays are now the day that I do my books since I work on the weekends. I keep all of my receipts for my business in my change bag then go through every Monday and put them on my Excel sheet and then go through all of my sales and subtract those from that red number. Needless to say, I am still in the red! [ 712 more words. ]

The Ups and Downs Of Sales http://wp.me/p4crVx-j1

You would think that with both my husband's and my own background in sales that this new venture would be a piece of cake. We actually met because we were both in sales. He was a car salesman and I was a Realtor. I also use to sell Avon and made it clear to a manager level where I had people selling under me for a commission. [ 462 more words. ]

We Also Have A Children’s Line http://wp.me/p4crVx-iP

I am happy to announce that we now have a children's line as well. Some of you are already aware of this because you are my friends on Facebook. This has been my biggest seller so far. I have a few different versions of them. I thought they were the cutest things. I also had my first big order for them last week. [ 169 more words. ]

We Our Now Offering Two Different Lines….of Soap http://wp.me/p4crVx-iI

My husband is a huge football fan especially the local Mountaineers. So when I saw the football molds I got him one. I was just going to make a few and market them the same as my others. Nope he wouldn't hear of it so he made me name the football line Clean EERS. I admit it was a novel idea just a bit on the corny side, maybe. [ 252 more words. ]

Is That Candy? http://wp.me/p4crVx-iA

So it has been a while since I have updated you on how things are going with the new adventure. A LOT has happened in a week on a personal level so I got off track just a little. Stomach flu with 3 kids, car trouble, my son who is a Freshman at USF ended up in the hospital and was there for a week all while trying to start a new business venture and try to have a little success at it.....well at least I am still standing.

Off To A Clean Start http://wp.me/p4crVx-ix

I spent the last week making soap and labels and trying to figure out where to sell all of this at. Nothing like jumping in on an idea with both feet or hands. Since the day I started making them I had over 90 bars of soap in 2 different sizes and 10 different fragrances made. I sold 11 during the week to different friends and acquaintances and 12 at the flea market yesterday. [ 306 more words. ]

The Wait Is Almost Over….. http://wp.me/p4crVx-iu

After all of this time we finally got a call that the electrician will be here Monday to set the new pedestal outside. Then I hope to get the electric company back out here to get us hooked up and running and I will be back in The House Of 1000 Boxes to work. Meanwhile, have been here beating myself up for not being able to get things done (anywhere). [ 335 more words. ]
