When Faith Builds More Than A Business

2013-12-20T08:59:41-05:00 By Sandi Krakowski|Blog|

When Faith Builds More Than A Business In the late 1990's I built my first kitchenware store that grew to over $4 million dollars in profits and was built 100% online. While I did have hundreds of thousands of dollars in inventory we sold every single month, many being drop shipped from vendors all over the nation and others being shipped directly from my home warehouse, it was completely 100% a virtual business. I remember doing business with companies of various faith based backgrounds. The Mormons in Utah who sold me kitchenware. The Jewish businesses that sold me the same from New York. The Christians in Missouri and so on. It intrigued me how so many successful businesses practiced their 'faith' in their business, while others simply 'were' whatever group they said they were [...]

Twitter Verified Accounts & How To Get Yours!

2013-12-19T09:43:55-05:00 By Sandi Krakowski|Blog|

Twitter Verified Accounts & How To Get Yours! That fancy blue check. Everyone wants one, everyone wants to know how to get one. It's the "Holy Grail" or at least some people think so, of Twitterdom.

According to Twitter's Help Section, "Verification is currently used to establish authenticity of identities of key individuals and brands on Twitter." When Twitter verified my account it actually was quite a surprise. It wasn't my focus. Growing a good brand was. (write that down!) My account was growing fast, with daily new followers, and it was being followed by some prominent business brands. But what happened next was kind of comical! EVERYONE wanted [...]

When Being A Champion Turns To Arrogance & Pride

2013-12-16T09:19:25-05:00 By Sandi Krakowski|Blog|

When Being A Champion Turns To Arrogance & Pride Last week I sent out an email that gave some tips on how to pace oneself and how to arrive at our goals, without destroying our life. With thousands of replies to this email saying it was just what our clients needed, I was reminded of this simple fact: If you reach your goal of financial independence and a successful business in 5 years rather than 5 months, it's still worth it. Because if you don't? Than that means in 5 years you'll be in the same pit looking for a new solution. No one wants to be where they are now, in 5 years. So pace yourself. Give yourself time. It WILL be worth it. Truth be told, many people who have made more [...]
