Gotta Love HOT Pink!

Even if the color itself doesn't look good on you, when it comes to network marketing in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, it's among the cream of the crop!

Check out the Hot Pink Mamas and see if there is a chapter in your area. If you're in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, feel free to contact me for information. My website has my contact information.

One of the benefits I appreciate with this group is the group health insurance it offers members. So many entrepreneurial women do not have coverage for themselves or their families, but it's something none of us should be without.

And the cost of business cards - $50 for 5,000? WOW! And they are NICE cards, too, printed on heavy glossy stock and includes 2-sided printing.

This has been one of my great finds in my foray into the networking scene of D/FW. More jewels to be revealed soon!

Networking

For the past several months, I've been engaged in exploring the various network marketing groups in my area. Because I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, I have a number of groups from which to choose. Because I am a jewelry designer, I focused on those that cater to women. Most I have found in a nice little site called MeetUp.

I have expanded my business horizons since joining various groups. Some have worked very well for me, some have not. But even those that haven't worked out for me because of various reasons still helped me grow as a business woman. I have met a large variety of women engaged in a wide variety of businesses, some of which offer services that I can benefit from.

The starring jewel of my finds has been Sharon Schierling, a life/business coach who is smart and wise and caring and giving. She offers a variety of services and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a different perspective on life and/or work. In addition to being a certified life coach, she also has an MBA and a lot of experience both in the corporate world and as an entrepreneur. Visit her website, Refined Perspectives to learn more about her. And by exploring her site, you'll learn more about yourself.

While on the idea of refined, and to post the obligatory picture, here's a piece I designed a while ago that is one of my favorites and it's still in my case:



The pale pastel mother of pearl coin beads are joined to gold mobius knots made from 14k gold-fill rings I made myself. It's available on
Etsy.
