How do you think our business could help each other?

• 
  We are all here to connect as entrepreneurs and as mom's. I would like to know in what way do you think aour businesses could help each other. For example I make fabric cards, invitations, announcements, and stationery. If your business is party planning it could be a great connection for me, or if advertise handcrafted mom artist that would would be great as well.
  
  
  
  Lets open up to what we all do and find out how we can all connect!

  Ok I have to say I am sorry for my typo's. I get ahead of myself at times and am moving too fast when I type these things.

  Hi Amy, I’m a consultant with Ambit Energy which is a network marketing busiiness, the earnings/ residual income involved with being an Ambit Energy consultant is huge. What I explain to my consultants & customers is we choose our wireless service provider, we choose our internet service provider, & we choose our home telephone service provider. Now we have the power to choose our gas & electric service provider! And get guaranteed savings. And who doesn’t like to save a couple dollars, especially in today’s economy. Energy deregulation is sweeping the country. and soon Ambit Energy will be a household name.
  
  
  
  The potential to earn thousands a month is great and electricity is something everyone will use forever. With Ambit there are different programs for customers to choose, such as the guaranteed lower cost program and the green energy program. There is something for everyone. There are even incentives for customers to earn rewards. And its free to sign on as a customer.
  
  Currently customers in Texas and New York City (5 boroughs) and with the pre-lunch in Illinois are the only areas that can take advantage of the savings. And later this year another 4 to 5 states will be added.
  
  However you can live anywhere to get started as a consultant of course. That is why being in this now is such an awesome opportunity.
  
  Ambit Energy will be so easy to market. Just remember the changes that have been made with other conglomerates.
  
  So that’s what I try to inform people that are interested.

  P.S.
  
  I love your site & designs. Much success to you.

  Work It, Mom is such a great site to chat and connect with others with like intrest. I work with natural based products which are used in everyone's home. I get to introduce others to a great line of products which are safer for families and safer for the environment. At the same time, I get paid to do this. If anyone is interested in chatting about shopping for safer products, I would love to talk with you.

  I am with Melaleuca, which is a Network Marketing company. Melaleuca has over 400 products that are eco-friendly, safe non toxic products, They have products like Laundry soap, fabric softner, dish washing detergent, dish soap, floor cleaner. bathroom cleaner, disenfectant, toothpaste, vitamins (for everyone and everything), ( I take the vitamins and I feel great). Makeup, shampoo, conditionar; I mean they have everything that you have to buy in a months time. And whats also great about this company is you can get a check just for refering people to a new way of shopping ( they do have to sign) So how would this company help you? Well you can stay at home and be with your kids, you can make money buying products you will LOVE, They do have more to offer than just what I have mentioned above too. I just can't type that much LOL. So thats how my Buisness Can Help You!!!

  Hi Amy,
  
  I noticed you have your own website and so do I. I try to keep my links focused on relative content, (I sell home decor) but I do have a category on my links page for crafts and hobbies that your site would fit well in. I'm also considering adding a list of links on my blog, Home Decorating News, for mom owned online stores. Take a look at my site, http://www.hometreasurecove.com and let me know what you think. Contact me if you're interested, besides a link exchange, I have some other promotional/marketing strategies that might work for us.

  ASSET MANAGEMENT
  
  
  
  People Don’t Plan To Fail; Fail To Plan
  
  People are simply not taught how to build financial security. Asset management is simply knowing a few simple concepts that can put your money to work for you instead of against you. For example:
  
  
  
  • Due to inflation; in 35 years, $120,000 will buy the same goods and services as a current $30,000/year income. Are you prepared?
  
  • What is the Rule of 72?
  
  • There is a High Cost to Waiting. For example, if you wait one year to invest $100 per month at 10% r.o.r you will lose $52,000 at retirement. If you wait five years you will lose $216,000 at retirement.
  
  • What is a mutual fund, and the importance of experience in a mutual fund manager?
  
  • What is a 529 Education Savings Plan?
  
  
  
  DEBT MANAGEMENT
  
  
  
  Credit card debt has escalated since 1977. The average credit card debt in Colorado is $30,000.There were more bankruptcies claimed in 1996 then any other year in previous history. By June 1997 there were more bankruptcies than all of 1996. By 2006, people were lined up around the block for days to file for bankruptcies before the deadline of new rules. Bankruptcy will follow you for a minimum of 7 years and is not the answer.
  
  
  
  • Your home is good debt and everything else is bad debt.
  
  • If you pay the minimum monthly payment on a credit card with $1,000 balance it will take over 8 years to pay off the card (assuming 21%APR).
  
  • When shopping for mortgage loans or consumer ask “What’s my payment and what’s the interest rate”, instead they should be asking “What’s the total cost and when will I be out of debt?”

  I am a member of cafemom and after making many friends on that site, many of whom are entrepreneurs like you ladies here, I decided that advertising is so important, but so expensive. I created mommashop for the women on cafemom who own their own or who are cunsulatants in a business.
  
  
  
  The site is free and so far, I have not paid for much advertising. I do this because I know there are so many women out there, like me, who are really trying to get the word out there.
  
  
  
  At mommashop, you can find out how to have your link put on the page.
  
  I am currently updating things, so just be patient with some of those little "what are you looking for?" buttons.
  
  
  
  I've had so many sites interested, I am currently making a page for each type of business.
