My Origami Owl business has take.n.off.
I now have a team of SEVEN Designers on my first line, and one of my first line has a Designer on HER team.
I never DREAMED I would have a team.
A team.
I am certainly learning as I go along. I have been in retail management before, and this is somewhat similar. I am trying to learn what makes a good mentor, a good leader.
So far, I am making sure that my team knows that I am here for them. If I don't know the answers to their questions, I will find the answer. I will do my best. Things must be getting a bit better, as I am not as stressed as I was when my team exploded!!! I hope to touch on topics like effective leadership, and what makes a good mentor, in the future.
I also have my first ad.
Yep. An ad.
I follow a blog {several blogs, actually} that wraps up so much in a neat little package...being a mom, being a wife, being a mother...so much that speaks to me. The author of this blog is a Disney fan {like me} and that is how we initially connected, through the Disney fan community. She blogs about weddings {namely, Disney Fairy Tale Weddings} on another page, but I really liked how this blog touches on all aspects of a mom's life. I stumbled upon the application for the ad, actually. I hovered over the "about" section, and it took me there...where I noticed sidebar ads were pretty inexpensive. I thought, what the heck?!?!?
I haven't checked ad stats, or clicks...it isn't important. What IS important is that someone took a chance on a girls with some charms and a dream. Yes, the author of the blog took a chance on running my ad...and I took a chance on joining Origami Owl when I did.
I had no idea what I was getting into, but I am glad I did it!!!
