My Plans For Next Year

I am so happy to recieve my biggest order since I started this online business. This customer was the one who owned a Beauty Salon whom I went to last week in downtown Toronto, to bring some samples. I promised her that if her order is more than CAD$___ , I will deliver it myself without any shipping fee. And her order is actually double from the minimum amount that I require to give her the free shipping.


I am so happy with the progress of my business. I have so many plans for next year for my business and I really hope that this progress will continue to grow. I spend the last money I saved for some equipment and ingredients that I need for my business. And now I am saving money for the licensing of my business. Few more orders and I will reach the amount that I need for the licensing.

I didn't expect that I will continue to receive orders for this year so I thought of getting the business license next year. Although I didn't have any profit for this business yet, but I really think that I will start have some profit by next year. So it's about time to get a business license.

Once I get my business license, I will start merketing my products OFF the internet, by sending flyers. I will create a small area on my living room as my show area for my products. I have been receiving calls, requests and inquiries from people who are interested to view my products personally. I will open my house for product viewing during the weekend,(by appointment) for those who are interested to see my products personally.

And if this business will continue to grow, I will enroll in Aesthetic or Cosmetology course to get a professional license or diploma- so I can conduct a workshop for Mineral Makeup and Natural Cosmetics making. Hopefully, I can start studying by next year. I really think that there is a good profitable income in conducting workshops.

And on year 2011, I am hoping to open a store or perhaps a beauty salon where I can fully sell my products, to the public. And I am hoping that by that year, I am ready to quit my job and concentrate my time in making my business grow.

Business is not a joke. It require time and hard work to make it happen. It require experties to gain trust. If you don't have the skills and knowledge about your business, you will end up loosing yourself on this business. Web designing is what pushes me to start this business. And Cosmetics have been my passion eversince. Learning the benefits of using Natural products and how to make it, makes me even passionate on what I do.

If you want to start a business, find something that you love doing. Make time to learn and be an expert on this. Customers will ask you every details about your knowledge in your products or services. Why, what, how and where!!. If you don't know the real essense of your business, you will end up loosing a lot of good opportunities.

Ready For The Party

I have finished updating all my blogs and I will start cleaning the house. After that, I will take a nap and prepare for the household meeting tonight. Hubby agree to come with me at the party that I was invited to. So I might come for people who want to see me there. I am not sure yet because I am not sure about my mood. If I get sleepy I might not go there... LOls... But if I still feel okey then I might go. I might just drop by to say hello!!

I guess I have to take my friend advice, Mel of "Random Thoughts Blog". I will not attend to the party for the people who don't like me to be there but for the people who want me to be at the party. I will just make those people who hate me to be happy for not seeing me there. So to make them unhappy, I need to be there. lols... But as I've said, it will depend on my mood.

Star At The Party

I know that some people like me to be at the party. But then, I know some don't or perhaps will raise their eyebrows when they saw me there. Some maybe be murmuring "her comes the star!!". Well, it is just my personality to smile and giggle and socialize because party is socializing. So what do you expect!!!! I didn't mean to shut or cover somebody's presence whoever they are. That's why since I heard this comment from few people, I stop attending parties so they can have all the attention that they want.

It's just my personality to be a star at a party even if I never intended to be...lols.. It is just ME and I never know that I am stepping on someone's shoe. The truth is, I'd rather stay at home and do things for my ebusiness. Because weekend is the only time I have for my ebusiness and quality time for my family. I attend parties because I was invited to, and if some people will be offended by my presence, then I will be happier not to be there. So goodluck peepz!!!! You can all have the star quality... heheheheh!!!!

Filipino Get-2-Gether , Is It?

A get-2-gether party while we are always seeing each other's face from Monday to Friday? Common!!! Okey, assuming some people just want to unwine or chill out. Fine!! I am supposed to attend because I thought it will be a genuine chilling out plan for eveyone. But after hearing some reasons behind this get-2-gether?

First, I heard that we will be talking about the unfair treatment for filipinos? Because of one incident that was concluded by a lot of people to be unfair or racist? Now my question is, is it really racist? Or unfair? Who is racist? Them or us? I think racism is everywhere. Life is really unfair. But life must go on!!!! To dwell into something negative might have more negative effect.

Second, I heard that we will be talking about the rumour about a plan of eliminating many people on that place. I really think this topic is so negative to talked about and if it will be the plan, then so be it!! I will cross the bridge when I get there and probably make another plan if I have to.

I didn't want to attend but I have a feeling that someone is trying or planning to hit me again behind my back. So I will drop by to bring some food for everyone just to show some support to whatever get-2-gether they may have. I don't want to socialize with this kind of negative get-2-gether party.

Life is so beautiful. I always want to look and stay on the bright side. Dwelling in a situation that will make me more frustrated and distress will not do any good for everyone at all. I am there not to socialize specially with some people that I know, with so much evil thoughts in their mind for everyone. There is no unity for filipinos on that place right from the very start. And if there is anything that needs to be change, it should come within each n' everyone of us and not by group!!! I'd rather stay at home and do more important things for my business and spend quality time with my family.

Shipping Orders With Business Card and Brochures

Business is slow for a couple of weeks now but I am glad to ship two orders today. I got this two orders during the weekend and I will be shipping it later on. Now I have enough money on my paypal to order some of the ingredients, jars and tubes I need for my products.

I am running out of calling card to enclosed on the next order so I will be printing another set of 8 later on. I will be printing this floral business card this time. I am going to make few changes and add few things about my products for better promotion of my business.
I really think enclosing a business card with product brochure in every order is one effective way in promoting the products. This is one way to remind the customer incase they forgot my website address.
