The Organizer Had to Organize Herself...

As I've mentioned before, this blog is also about my own process as I organize and launch my consultancy business. So, the organizational queen had to do a bit of re-branding herself because I want to bring my readers and my clients the best possible advice.

I've recently partnered with a SCORE consultant to help in this process. If you don't already know, SCORE is a non-profit group that matches retired executives with small business owners. In other words, I now have my own personal business coach at no cost to myself.

I'm a firm believer in using all the resources available to me. Even I need help and can use the assistance of a non-biased mentor to help me through the rough times and mental burps. So, I had my first meeting with a knowledgeable and sweet woman named Sally last week.

She was able to give me quite a bit of advice in just that first meeting on how to better market my business and showcase my talents. She put much emphasis on creating ultra-professional business brochures and business cards and recommended that I use photographs of myself through out my company literature and website. I took her advice and made an appointment to have professional pictures taken last Friday. Salim at NyteVisions Photography is not only a friend but a wonderful photographer.

My New Business Photos: What do u think?

My next meeting with Sally is Thursday. My goal is to have my business cards, brochures, and website all finished by then so I can relaunch my business and begin marketing myself more aggressively.

I will keep you all informed of my experiences working with SCORE and how much success I gain with my new brand. If you have any advice or stories about your own experiences with mentors and/or branding your business, please leave a comment!
