After years of encouragement from my online family, I am so proud to be in a position to offer this! 

Career Coaching with Bunny Cates

Career Coaching with Bunny Cates: A 1 hour, 1-on-1 Conversation with store owner and designer Bunny Cates (me!).

What’s this all about?

Well, when I started out in this business I would have given ANYTHING to have had someone to just sit down and talk to about the behind the scenes aspects of running "the business side" of digiscrap. No fluff, just honest answers to some pretty serious questions I had floating around in my head. "Do I need a business license?" "Do I charge taxes?" "How much do I charge for this!?" I didn’t have anyone, but using my management background as a guide, I’ve been figuring it out on my own for the last 5+ years. I get asked questions all the time about how to handle certain things, or the best way to deal with this-n-that and I know that the information I have to share can be motivational, informative, and useful. When I started my digital scrapbooking business, I didn’t have someone to talk to about the business, it was hard figuring it out on my own. I want to be that "someone" for you.

So many people get into this business thinking its going to be a quick buck, and then they have no one to talk to or help them thru it once they’re in it.  I want to change that for people!  Imagine how awesome the entire DigiScrap/Crafting’/Cottage Arts niche would be if designers actually "felt" like and DID know what they were doing.  Had a "guide" to push them in the right direction.  I can totally fill that void for people.

So, what I am offering here is pretty simple. Your questions, my answers, about the "business side" of Digital Scrapbooking. Anything you want to talk about. Whether you are a store owner or a digital designer, I am confident this session will benefit your business.

Coaching sessions are prepaid by appointment only, and held via Skype (World Wide) or Telephone (USA ONLY).

How to get scheduled:

Simple! Check Out with this item in your cart. Once payment is received, you will receive an email with a few questions for YOU to answer and you can also tell me what time is best for you. Once I get that back, we’ll have you scheduled, and on the day of your session we’ll either meet up on Skype or phone. Which ever works best for YOU.

Once you have your date set, I highly recommend sitting down and making notes of what you hope to talk about during our coaching session. These sessions aren’t me telling you what I think you should know, its me telling you what you WANT to know. So make notes to yourself, and have them handy during our Coaching session! If you don’t have any questions, it’s going to be a long hour!

Remember: You can ask me anything business related.

Please note this is not a "creative" seminar. I will not be teaching you how to design. This is a "BUSINESS" conversation. So you can ask things about: administration, taxes,workflow, customer service, etc etc

*UPDATE:  If you follow my facebook or twitter you know that Gump had a seizure yesterday.  I just wanted to update real qucik to say the vet said he is fine today.  Heart rate and breathing are good.  She also said that pugs are prone to seizures.  Not to worry.  If it happens again she’ll run bloodwork, but for now he seems 100% fine, and we shouldn’t worry.

Motivation Monday

So, I thought this would be a fun “mojo” day!  How about from now on {if I can remember to post it!} on Monday we all show what we’re working on!  Take a shot of your computer, your craft area, your desk… whatever – just show off what your working on today!  I’m thinking seeing everyone being busy and/or creative will be a motivational driver for the rest of us!

So here’s my Motivation Monday – 001

I’m finishing up some products for the store!

    
my desk is super cluttered as you can see, but I promise there IS a  little method to the madness!  All those scraps of paper are product ideas or page ideas that I have scribbled down and they eventually get tossed on the desk so they dont get lost.  LOL!

Now I want YOU to play along!  If you are playing along, just make a post today with pics of what you’re working on, then come on back here and put a link to your blog post In the comments down below. 

On FRIDAY I’ll take a  peek at the list and randomly pick ONE PERSON to win the templates I was making up there!  So if you would like a chance to win these….

just make your blog post, and come on back and let us know about it!
