After years of reading blogs and helping others determine whether to set up a blog or not, I’ve finally decided it was time to join in on the fun. While this blog will be primarily dedicated to marketing for the small and home based businesses (Small Office/Home Office Individuals, MLM & Network Marketing Distributors, Mom & Pop Retail Shops, etc) I will venture into other areas of my life’s interests – the AND MORE part of the equation. My goal is to be a positive voice that provides a positive space for conversation and learning when it comes to All Things Marketing and More.
I’ve spent my life in sales, marketing and customer service starting at 8 years old in my family’s retail business and continuing my varied career over the next 30 years, which brings me to today. I’ve gained a lot of experience through successes and failures and I’ve picked up tools, tips, and tricks from great mentors.
My promise to you is to provide infomation that is valuable, interesting and/or fun. Hopefully all three most of the time. I don’t plan on being all business all the time – we all have to live a little. I do promise to be respectful of differences in opinion and ask the same from you when posting your comments.
Here’s to the coming new year – may 2010 be your best year yet!

Congratulations on your blog! I look forward to learning from you, VaNessa.
Just found your website through our FB connection. Look forward to your insights here. If you need any assistance with WordPress, please let me know. I run several WP sites and have become very familiar with the software and its capabilities.
Congrats on this new venture VaNessa! I’ll be sure to add your blog to my list to check in on. Happy 2010!
Do you think retail is still impacted by recession? December sale looked good, however it seems there is cautious optimism with many stores in the throes of recession. Wal-Mart has just downsized close to 14,000 employees! What is your opinion?
