MY NEW BUSINESS...

A while back I mentioned that I was working on a NEW BUSINESS. So here's the information on it that I promised...  The new business is called...

                                                                 

We sell natural Spa products for the body and home as well as products  for the mind and spirit that help you live with less stress and more joy in your life. I am really excited about this new venture that I began with another friend and our son and daughter-in-law.

We sell our products through in-home Spa Parties and we're looking for consultants to help us because another one of our passions is to help women earn an income from the home! We provide our consultants with FREE LIFE COACHING along with business coaching, the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others, as well as earning an income.

Right now we're only offering this opportunity to those living in the SE Minnesota area ( sorry, folks ).

We know how stressful  and busy life can be and we wanted to help women live with LESS STRESS and MORE JOY in their lives! So we developed this business to address those issues. And we do it through having Spa parties that will relax, inspire, and RENEW you in body, mind, and spirit. Then you can purchase products in order to have the same experience at home.

For more information, go to our website here. Or go to our blog here for articles that will inspire and help you in finding MORE JOY AND LESS STRESS for your life. We'll also help with goal setting and reaching your goals!
We're just beginning so you can go back and read through  ALL our past blog posts in a short amount of time and gain a lot of helpful information. Then sign up to be notified every time we write a new post for MORE INSPIRATION AND HELPFUL INFORMATION! We'll also be adding FREE e-books in the future, FREE telephone conference minnie workshops, and MORE!

OK,  I know this is totally different than our occasional  Hob Nobber vintage sales. So how does it all fit in? Well, one of our workshops will be about how to make money doing what you love. That is what I found out is possible through my love of hunting vintage treasures and then decorating with them and finally making money while having fun at the same time! I have MANY passions and I have  "designed my life" keeping in mind my values of family and faith, while staying refreshed and renewed  all while maintaining balance and finding joy in life... AND making some money in the process! And now I'm excited to share  with YOU, how you can do the same thing!

So stay in touch with my Renew blog as well as my Hob Nobber blog. I have a few larger Hob Nobber items I'll be selling on Craigslist for those living nearby. I'll be posting about them in future posts so check back to see what will be offered.

MAKING AN INCOME DOING WHAT YOU LOVE

There are so many amazing vintage style blogs out there but one of my favorites is Raised In Cotton. Started by three women who began selling their vintage finds at local antique shops, they then opened a shop of their own. With success at THIS endeavor they went on to start another related business offering the rental of vintage treasures for special occasions and events  as well as offering design services. I LOVE that they have taken their mutual passions and turned it into not ONE but THREE business'! They are a great example of being able to make money doing what you love.

HOB NOBBERS  ( You'll have to search past posts to find the REAL Hob Nobbers )

I have found that this is possible also! Karen, Renee, and I started Hob Nobbers in just the same way. We all had a passion in this area and started out small by renting a room for a fundraising event for Community Youth Outreach, a program I founded and directed. The event went on for two days but we ran out of "inventory" the first day! We sent Karen home to drag everything out of her attic as she had been a collector for some time and had a stash of beautiful treasures. Everyone wanted to know where our "store" was but we didn't have one! We continued this for a few years until I "retired" ( one never really RETIRES from this type of work ) from the youth ministry  at which time we decided to have a sale of our own. That again was so popular that we decided to grow and instead of ONE room we filled up the main floor of a local historical mansion! My husband and I happen to LIVE in this mansion ( well, part of it ) as Resident Directors. After a few yearly successful occasional sales we grew to have three occasional sales a year. We have a long line of people waiting to get in before our events begin. It becomes a three family affair as all of our families pitch in to set up, man the tables, and help carry heavy furniture to the cars of happy customers. We all have a great time and feel like we're having a two day party! The fun part is when someone gets excited finding a much  loved object they remember from their childhood!

My point in sharing these stories is that if you have a passion, you CAN find a way to turn it into a business. We're not talking about getting RICH here but it is SO MUCH FUN being able to do what you love and then gaining from it in more ways than one!
