Jillian grew so fast, and like most new moms, when I was faced with a closet full barely used children's clothing. Not sure what to do with them all, I started selling on eBay. I was myself on the results, and soon realized the large market for affordable children's clothing and accessories. I then decided to use his love for the smell, touch and appearance of all the baby "to perform my passion start your business.

By simply using my 20 years of corporate marketing experience with my newfound passion, my family and companies have been quick all tied together in one package. My company has transformed from a start with 50 articles in full service baby superstore. And in a period of 8 years, I moved to warp speed in the unemployment line chairman of the six plus the number of company.

My Miracle Baby Inc. became the subject of a book on work-at-home moms, more than a dozen recordings, news, as well as the 2-page eulogy in Queens Parenting Magazine. One of our more specific awards, our recent certification as a "Fortune 52" company by the Long Island Press, the prize for which we are very proud of. We also achieved 100% safety rating of five years, the difference will not be taken lightly.

Today we are successful - and offer more than 2,500 products - including baby clothing, personalized baby blankets, Bibs, onesies and gifts for Sweetest baby showers and christenings. For special occasions and pageants, we offer a baby boutique that features the top row of the fancy dress and boy suits and tuxedos.

What brings this all work together the most is that we have also created a community, a miracle child family, where you can see the most awe inspiring stories of the tiniest survivors. We recommend the mother to cooperate with one another and share the joys of motherhood and the trials and tribulations to be a new mom. We honor our miracles with the baby photo contest, where it is almost impossible to choose a winner. Also, it is interesting to our customers, we give out prizes: the client kindest, nicest parties, the most courteous, and of their images and comments are posted on our favorite side of the buyer.

I think the inventor - or I simply reinvented himself. What I love most about seeing their businesses prosper, is that no matter how busy a place is still my schedule and take my 8-year-old on the bus every day. I am one of the most loyal customers retention rates in the industry, I believe because customers know I am not only accessible but truly caring for their shopping experience. I think I can tell you that I am not a person, firm, that money, I just want to really live doing what I absolutely love. I am now able to celebrate the miracle of my baby and my successful business and yes, miracles do happen.

A Part-Time Business and a

If you are interested in running your own
business, but are not yet ready to make a full-time
commitment, starting a part-time business is a
better approach than starting a business as a
hobby. The difference between a part-time
business and a full-time business is the extent of
the commitment. Starting a part-time business is
different from running a hobby business because
you commit to a part-time business whatever
resources—time, energy, money, etc.—that you have
available and that are necessary to get the business
up and running.
Even though you are running a business on a parttime
basis, make sure that the rates you charge for
your goods and services are comparable to those of
your competitors. There are several reasons for this.
The quality of these goods and services are at least as
good as or even better than your competitors’. If
they weren’t, you wouldn’t even consider offering
them for sale, would you? Since they are
comparable, why should they be offered at a lower
cost? To offer them at a lower cost might suggest
that you and your business are not quite as good as
the competition.
Running a part-time business is a no-lose scenario. If
you start the business on a part-time basis and it
becomes successful enough that you are prepared to
operate it full time...congratulations! You are off and
rolling. If, however, you gave it your best shot and
found out it’s not what you want to do, no problem—
you still have your regular job to fall back on.

You Need to Earn a Living

2006-11-27T14:57:00.000-08:00

Businesses, large or small, exist to generate a profit for their owners. Business owners—
whether shareholders in the case of large incorporated ventures (see Chapter 5 for a
discussion of incorporation) or owner-operators in the case of small businesses—use
these profits as a means of supporting themselves and others for whom they are
responsible. Thus, the primary raison d’être for all businesses is to earn a livelihood for
their respective owners.
If you already do, or think you would like to, run your own small business, you may
have various reasons for choosing self-employment as a strategy for earning a living.
Maybe you lost your job as a result of downsizing, reorganization, or merger, and chose
running your own business as the best choice for generating an income. Perhaps you
find it too confining being an employee in an organization whose way of doing things
is inconsistent and even irreconcilable with yours. More independence? Higher earning
capability? Whatever. Regardless of an individual’s stated reason for choosing to run a
small business, the bottom line is always the same: Small businesses exist primarily to allow
their owners to earn a living.
