School of Creative Business - Creative Entrepreneurship

Back to School with the School of Creative Business

Ever since school, we have all been hardwired to think: September means new clothes, friends, teachers and classes. But really September for the creative business professional means fresh start, standout products & services, and a fresh way of looking at our business. A fresh start for your creative business doesn't mean a complete overhaul, it's about tweaking what you have already started.

This month- I'm going to focus on those instant improvements: the email newsletter that can be sent to everyone on your list. The organization tips that will help you get your crazy life in order.  And how to put the all social media trends together so you and your company can look like a ROCK -N-ROLL Celebrity.

And for the SCHOOL OF CREATIVE BUSINESS - there will be an extend focus on bringing you guys a serious dose of how-to- videos that will include quick & dirty technical tips, celebrity status marketing strategies and creative living advice.  All delivered on my Youtube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/MsCreativeBusiness.

What I'm doing this Fall is keeping with what I think is not only a particularly good but a particularly Fabulous September: One that absolutely will get you inspired to step your game up a notch.

Do you have plans for business improvement for September? If so, tell me!

The Visionary: Marissa Mayer, Glamour 2009 Woman of the Year

 

  She is a Woman of the Year because:

“She has been a powerhouse of creativity and business acumen for one of the world’s most innovative companies. Marissa Mayer is leading the way in keeping America number one.” —Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and 2002 Woman of the YearMarissa Marissa leads the product management efforts on Google's search products – web search, images, groups, news, Froogle, the Google Toolbar, Google Desktop, Google Labs, and more. She joined Google in 1999 as Google's first female engineer and led the user interface and webserver teams at that time. Her efforts have included designing and developing Google's search interface, internationalizing the site to more than 100 languages, defining Google News, Gmail, and Orkut, and launching more than 100 features and products on Google.com.

It is good to know that a woman can be beautiful and smart! I was amazed to read about Marissa accomplishments with such a big and power company. Marissa states in the Glamourarticle "Get in a bit over your head. That’s how you grow and learn and stretch yourself.”

 I totally agree with her. More of us need to stretch beyond our reach- it is the only way to grow taller and stronger. Many of us may not be engineers but we are artist who have the engineering power to be great and maybe the next Artist of the Year of something. Grow, Grow and Grow Strong my Sisters and Brothers.

EYe Spy a Romantic Trend: Yves St. Laurent & Yellena

Romantic- 1.fanciful; fabulous. 2. given to sentimental or amorous feelings. 3. love affair. 4. novel of extraordinary. 5. love making

For sure! These brilliant artist have truly displayed what romance means in the fashion and art world. Their master pieces SCREAM love making. The fluid curvy lines convey what it means to be a woman. The forms are full and voluptuous, smooth and silky, lavish and striking.

As an artist and fashion marketer/instructor I enjoy seeking connections to fashion and art, Especially when two convey such beauty.
