Getting the group up and running with emails is taking quite some time. I feel anxious to move quickly because I want to see them turning their business into a profitable and sustainable business.
The response from the group to become familiar with emails has been one of inspiration, determination and excitement. I taught them how to write every email in a professional way and stresses not to use current sms type of spelling and writing in a business context. We created a signature at the end of the email. I also took a photograph of each person to include in their email signature.
Once that was complete we set up a blogspot for each person. They were so excited; I explained that the blogspot was the easiest way to create their own “web site” for marketing purposes. I don’t yet know much about blogging but we managed to get a blogspot for each person with their names and details and photograph. I will learn more about blogging this week and then apply my learning to the group next week.
These exercises are creating marketing tools and a company image for each one in the group and that is progress even if I feel that it is slow.
Reflections:
Each workshop is building the business of each person.
During the rest of the week it is up to each individual to start using these tools by creating an email data base, handing out the marketing letters, perfecting them and focussing on their business.
Again we did not discuss money because the group dictate to me what they want to do in the workshops. I do think that once the blogs are underway it is the first thing in the next set of workshops that I will start to tackle. That is the emotional side of money including the fear of money. More on that in the next few weeks.
I constantly reflect on business establishment for unemployed people.
1. Am I going about the self employed transformation in the right way?
2. Are these methods going to work?
3. What else must I introduce?
4. How much of me is in this process?
5. Should I attempt to start my own small women’s clothing range so that I am experiencing the same business start up process as my group is?
