CEO, Laurell Duncan attended the National Association Professional Women Conference on April 26th. 1700 women from all different backgrounds were in attendance. She was able to gain some great contacts. The conference was very inspiring. Moderator, Star Jones gave a powerful speech on seven ways to being successful including the following:
1. Investigate
2. Initiate
3. Insight
4. Information
5. Intention
6. Inspiration
7. GPS for your soul
Laurell had the pleasure of meeting Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post and Martha Stewart, the keynote speaker. Laurell also listened to talks from Leslie James Seymour (Editor-In-Chief of More), Monique L. Nelson (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, UniWorld Group), Desiree Rogers (CEO, Johnson Publishing Co, LLC), and Kim Garst (CEO, Boom! Social). The experience was overwhelming to say the least and she learned a lot.

Everyone has their personal struggle before they "make it". We watch these Before They were Stars TV shows and think "Wow they were just like me". You're favorite celebrity may have grown up in New Jersey or use to ride the bus to work everyday.
Just because you weren't born rich doesn't mean you can't be successful. It just takes a willingness to learn even if it's not through traditional means such as school. Martha searched for different ways where she could combine all of her passions. She was very fortunate in being able to do so.
When you are thinking of starting your own Business, you have to go about it the right way the FIRST time. Step one being applying for your Tax ID. Next, applying for the necessary License and certifications. Doing things the right way speaks loudly about your character. Authenticity
When we were first getting started, our CEO attended a webinar at a local college that encouraged using resources online to get incorporated. One of the first steps was obtaining a federal tax id. So she went online to get the id. She started off on the government website and was transferred to another website where she was told there was a fee of $80 to get the id. She paid the $80 and received the id. She was still confused because she was told her tax id should be free. She called the IRS to inquire about this and they confirmed the id should be free. She contacted the company that she obtained the id from and later received a refund.
Everyone needs to be careful when conducting business online. You can easily be scammed. We would recommend handling your business affairs at your local bank where they do everything for you for free.
