* What steps did you follow to build your business? Are you still in the process of planning your endeavor?
Starting my business was fairly simple being that I work from home. All I had to do was obtain a resale license from the State of California, purchase the materials to create paintings and make jewelry, and design my website. A great deal of the time was spent creating the website and it's still a work in progress.
* Please tell us about the resources you’ve used thus far and would recommend to others (or steer them away from). Take a moment to share your educational background (both academic and work-based) and point out things that have helped or hindered you along the way from that education.
I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from California State University, Chico with a minor in Business. In my last semester of college I decided that I wanted to go into business for myself instead of becoming a psychologist, but I didn't know what kind of business yet. I worked for Wet Seal as a manager at the time, which helped give me the experience of running a business. It was a few years later that I put two and two together to start my own business - my business education and my passion for fashion.
* What do you enjoy the most about operating your business? What tasks would you perform even if it had nothing to do with the successful operation of your company?
I love being able to work at home and basically work whenever I want to! I would still create jewelry and write just for the pure love of doing it even if I didn't make money from it.
* What is the least enjoyable part of operating your business? Are there any tasks you’d gladly delegate to anyone else, no matter what the price?
The least enjoyable part of operating my business is the paperwork :) I would love to delegate the task of redoing my website. I could do it myself, but it does take up quite a bit of time.
