New Venture

-

An entrepreneur is always looking for ways to improve whether it be on the business side of things or product wise. One day I was speaking to a friend of mine and she was telling me what she has been up to. She was participating in a workshop for woman entrepreneurs. I was very inquisitive and went looking for the initiative. I found it but at the time they were not accepting applicants for a new workshop. 

Then one day I received an email and that was the start of the new venture. It was an initiative from Academy for Women Entrepreneurs. The same thing I was looking for. 


Of course I accepted the invite and it has been an eye opener. 
So far I have done courses 1 to 5 and I am currently doing course 6.
I have learn't many things that I will share in small snippets on the Instagram, Facebook, tik tok and this platform.
Very interesting!

The idea was to have an entry product which will be bookmarks, then I have T-Slide cards, Pyramid boxes, Explosion boxes small and large. I separated my tent into two parts using palletts and curtains I decorated one side to look like a photo booth and I was on the other side. The set up was a little testing for me and my first. I had to pin everything down with push pins, the wind was so high. On showcase that day were these cards! My husband was helpful and creative, we hooked up a speaker to the strip and the strip went into the cigarette lighter and we created an ad right there on the spot. Usually the traffic at the Market place is heavy but it was a rainy day, it rained for most of the afte...
