Ever wonder if there is another entrepreneur experiencing the same highs and lows, ups and downs, success and challenges that you are? Ever curious about what the path you’re on looks like, say, one or two years down the road? We’re guessing you have, and you do, and as entrepreneurs we do the same thing too. Because of these sentiments, and because of our love of the stories we hear from so many of you on a daily basis, we’re proud to announce our newest blog series launching next week: Diary of a Small Business Owner.
In this series you will follow the stories of three entrepreneurs:
A virtual assistant from Michigan who relaunched last spring after taking some time off to get clear about the kinds of services she wanted to offer and who her ideal client was. It was a much needed break that has proven to be exactly what she needed at the time to kick things into high gear. Things have been taking off ever since she is ready to kick it up another notch and plan some big changes in her business in the very near future including some rebranding and new plans to service people locally and virtually.
Two fashion savvy female entrepreneurs – and close friends – from Georgia who designed a pair of must-have “little black pants” that combine fashion and shapewear in a stylish compression garment. They’re just out of the entrepreneurial gates and are in the launching process, reaching out to editors, sending out samples and running their own DIY PR campaign, learning social media and getting ready to see what the world thinks of their pants!
A product designer from New York City who produces problem-solving gear for parents inspired by her own experiences with her children. A brand that started by accident, it is now currently selling in national retailers while trying to maintain a work-life balance between raising three children and “raising a business”.
You can look for them blogging weekly about their entrepreneurial journey right here on our blog beginning next week as well as follow snippets of scoop to hold you over until the next week via our @collectivee Twitter via the hashtag #smallbizdiary.
