Sunday Inspiration September 30, 2012

Hi All!

Today's inspirational video is for those of you in business and trying to make a go of that business online.
The video is by LaShanda Henry graphic designer and founder of http://Sistasence.com and http://mybbwo.com (My Black Business Women Online with nearly 50,000 members) and some 20+ other websites.

Here's what LaShanda has to say about building a business online.

So what do you think? Will you be able to move your business forward in the last three months of the year.? What methods have you using to grow your business online?

 I will be participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge the month of October for this blog and a new blog I'm starting just for international business. http:/MichelleSHawkins.com

Check in tomorrow as I start the challenge.

Why Going International Could Recession Proof Your Business

An example of what exporting can do for your company's bottom line is shown by a company recently honored by the Arizona District Export Council for its trade business. (Some years ago I served on the Michigan District Export Council or MDEC)
Able Engineering receives a third of its revenue from international business. You can read their story here. http://bit.ly/r5i50S

I'm still waiting on the Arizona Commerce Authority to develop their guidelines for the $646,000 that was received to help Arizona Companies to go into and grow their international business. I'll let you know as soon as I know.

Check back for news as I transition back to Amazon Trading Company (AmazonTC). Yes, I will keep adding items and gemstones as I set up my store.
