Taking the leap!

When I first started my businesses I was lucky enough to have a mom that owned her own business as well. She works in the medical field and it could'nt be further from what I do but, her insight was still and still is more than helpful. There's so many roles you have to partake in when you are an owner and you have to not only be multifasseted but, capable of mastering all aspects as well. That is, to be successful. I've read alot of business books, I've tried things that have worked and things that have miserably failed..However, what you learn from experience is irreplacable. It's a matter if you take that experience and learn from it and grow or remain stagnet with the same train of thought.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to meet another woman that was the same age as me and stepping into the world of owning her own business. I strongly support any woman at any age that has a passion for something and is taking that leap of faith and commiting to their dreams. Not that I don't support men that own their own business but, I feel like women have pressures and obstacles that quite honestly men just don't have to face or on a much smaller scale.

I loved to just sit and have coffee and talk weddings for hours..litterally. Nothing is more inspiring to have a conversation with someone passionate about what they do and is genuine in their intentions.
Jessica Watcke, the women of whom I speak of,  is going into business with her mom and opening a dress shop in Cheshire named "Bliss".   She sought me out to get some insight which is amazing in itself. Only because to me it showed how much she cared to make a difference. Business owners, especially ones just starting out, don't always know exactly what customers are looking for and quite honestly it's hard to find out. Being a stylist and having done so many weddings, I've got to talking with some of my brides over the years...I've often heard the ups and downs of dress shopping.  Any insight I could help with to help another business make the experience that much better for a bride is good in my book!

It seems to me like Jessica's Establishment will be a perfect shop that will cater to a range of brides...Because of her passion and her eagarness to focus on the clients needs I'm hopeful for her and her mother's success.

Stay tuned..Bliss will be coming soon after the holidays in Cheshire, CT.

Good Luck Jess!!
