My Story

Well I've been trying to figure out where I want to start.  So I am going to start with me starting my first business.  Back in 1999 when I was filling in for my friend who was out on maternity leave, I had this idea for a plus size fashion doll.  I called my friend Georgette and asked her were there any fat dolls on the market and she said she didn't think so.  Georgette liked the doll concept so we decided to become partners and started our company Big Beautiful Dolls, Inc.  We worked the business for five years and then the business stalled because of a few things.  My partner moved to Texas and the market for collectible dolls started to cool down as the economy changed for the worse. 

I was in love with being an entrepreneur by now and so I decided to start a publishing company.  Once again I jumped into an industry that new very little about and once I realized I didn't like the model I was creating I closed shop.  Then I started to publish my own newspaper called Women In Business Today.  I really liked publishing the magazine, but I had one problem.  I had to do all of the work myself.  After two years of publishing I got burned out and closed shop and moved with my husband and daughter to Spring Hope, NC where I lived in the country for two years.  I loved living there and the rest did me good and I wrote a book while there, but after two years I missed my family and the entrepreneurial life that I was use to and decided to move back home to NJ. 

Once I returned back to NJ I started working as a small business consultant with two local universities.  After the contract with both of these ended I started my own consulting company, Sister Inc.  I ran this company for three years before I decided to change my brand to Ms. Boss International.  I felt like Sister Inc. was not really saying what I wanted it to say and that a brand change would. 

Now I was feeling good about my new brand name and I was doing everything to get the name out there, but somewhere deep inside I still felt like something was missing.  I felt like I was still not living the life that I was born to live.  It was like a part of me was missing.  So something happen that changed my thinking and led me to start this blog.  To find out what that was you have to come back tomorrow, because I am sleepy right now.

Until Next Time

Make It A Great Day!
