Today was the big day!  My kind friend, Janet Morris, hosted a Virtual Launch party for me at work.  Here’s how it worked.  We did a virtual meeting and she invited friends and co-workers through out the US to attend at their local sites.  So there were folks from Boise, California, Colorado, Vancouver, WA and the east coast. 

 

I showed my new website www.venitahawkins.com (as of last night!) and talked about what it is like to be a micro business.  Is that fun or what?!!! 

 

I talked about my art, inspirations, getting started as a micro business, the website, blog, social networking, funding, taking credit cards, opportunities (marketing), where I plan to go from here and a call to action “help my website go viral”.  I was so excited, I couldn’t stand myself.  I was really worried that folks would not come.  But they did!!!  Janet estimated 30 people, which was awesome.

 

I got some great questions like: dealing with copyright, commissions, creating low price point art, are you more a micro business or an artist, and how do you find time to do it?  It was fun and truly touching that folks took the time out of their busy and intense schedules for an hour.  I am still so appreciative that folks came out today.  It has made me smile for the balance of the day. 

 

The last slide I showed in my presentation today is one of my favorite quotes:

Remeber All Things Begin and End With Gratitude 

 

This was an awesome day.
