Our First Ever Business Roadshow August 2008

16 August 2008. That was the day BMSG held their World Breastfeeding Week Event. What has this got to do with our family - you'll wonder - to warrant them a mention here? Because that was the first time we had a business (www.BabySlingsAndCarriers.com) roadshow. Although the crowd wasn't fantastic, it was a great learning ground for us as a new business. There were things like the banner you see below in the first picture, as well as the brochures that had to be rushed, to consideration of the paper bags to be used, the manpower to allocate....

Now what's the difference between this carrier and that?

In case you are wondering if this entry was just about the event. Not really.... I thought this is a worthwhile entry to make as Kieona and Kierra did turn up for the event and saw for themselves how we go about our work, how we approach people to talk (explain our baby carriers), chatting with prospects (strangers) about our products, etc.

The sole purpose of us wanting their involvement in these things is also to help them appreciate things deeper than what they will learn from classrooms or even in the park. Hopefully, this will help our children grow up knowing how there are different ways to earning your keeps and growing our money. I guess an old adage that comes to my mind right now is, "give a man a fish and he will live for a day, teach him how to fish and that will feed him for a life."

Kieona, Kierra... I hope exposures like this will help you understand the dynamics of work, of making a living, of how you choose to make that living, and how talking to a complete stranger is really not at all that scary.

Love,
Mommy
