Many of us women miss the days when our men used to don suit & tie on a regular basis. There is something quite irresistible and sexy about the confidence they exude when they are wearing a tie. Which is why we’ll be sneaking one or two in their Christmas stockings. Our choice? Jack Franklin ties . The Jack Franklin tie company was born out of the frustrating fact that well-made neckties are extremely overpriced. By selling exclusively online, Jack Franklin is able to bypass the middleman...

SittingTallerKids: A Simple Solution For Kids and Booster Seats As a petite woman, Pam Starobin knew what it is like to sit at a table with your chin barely over the the edge or at the movies when, inevitably, someone would sit directly in front of her blocking her view. She understood how kids felt and wanted to make a booster seat that made them feel all grown up. She came up with a lightweight booster seat that carries like a backpack. SittingTallerKids partnered with Nomi Network , an... Read Full Story

When I had my apparel company and showed our line in trade shows, we were sometimes told our prices were too high. At first I was offended. I had done my homework on our pricing and I thought we not only offered a good value but were competitive – PLUS our designs were better (in my opinion) than our competitors. It was upsetting because I wanted sales, and I also had to be profitable. My knee jerk reaction was to offer a discount or change my pricing. I even took it personally. It took... Read Full Story

This week, we’re interviewing Angie Garland about her MonaVie business. These are some fascinating products & I’m sure our readers will be as anxious as I was to learn more about them. 1. Tell us about your business and how you got started. A few months ago, I was having a wellness issue with my neck. Visits to the chiropractor were not relieving the pain. I was taking Excedrin twice a day, sleeping with my neck strategically placed on a rolled up towel and eventually unable to turn my... Read Full Story

As originally published on TheSucculentWife.com We’ve loved UncommonGoods for a long time. Probably as long as they’ve been established (in 1999). UncommonGoods.com is a unique online store that offers truly unique gift ideas that range from beautiful to fun, quirky and light-hearted. Never a boring gift idea in their catalog pages… We also love that UncommonGoods is an independent business that supports independent artists and creators. Plus, many of their gift items are made from... Read Full Story

A few days ago I was asked (on twitter) to critique a website to see if I could offer any help about a creative product. I checked through it pretty quickly and my immediate response was: there are 5 things I could tell you right away about what you could change that would completely alter your bottom line, increase your sales and turn your great idea into a REAL business. I’m thinking that maybe if that was you, and you were looking to become a profitable business, you might want to know... Read Full Story

Coasterica™ All-in-One Coasters Need a great hostess gift that will not only say “thank you for the invitation” but that is also something truly original (that your hostess most probably will never have seen before) AND is practical. AND is something that she will want to use immediately. AND that is fun for guests too? We’re thinking that the Coasterica™ Coasters are perhaps the only hostess gift that can meet all those requirements and then some… Because the Coasterica all-in-one... Read Full Story

The world has been abuzz about the passing of Steve Jobs. And, it’s no wonder. Steve Jobs possessed all of the qualities and characteristics that someone looks for in a leader. He was wildly visionary and because of the reach of “his” products, many people felt inherently connected to Steve Jobs, the man. In the end, it is our humanity – our inner connectedness — that matters in this life. For this week’s Upside Thought, I wanted to share with you an excerpt from the Commencement... Read Full Story
