Almost ONE year in business... it's time for a BUSINESS PLAN update!

Some of the AMAZING San Diego SCORE Counselors.



I attended another amazingly informative SCORE Business Workshop.  This past week I attended a six hour workshop, and it was packed... with people and information! I left armed with everything that I needed to revise, enhance, and update my current SHEA CHIC Business Plan.  Wow! My head was spinning... by hour two! I was worried I wouldn't absorb everything, but luckily we were each given a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet (on disc) to easily imput our own company information for income, cash flow, and balancing figures. What I enjoyed most about the event were the Counselors.  Each Counselor, had years of experience in their own industry.  Whether it was Marketing or Finance they had a plethora of knowledge and endless ideas on how I could grow my business. There are no "nay-sayers," just fun, encouraging, and knowledgable Counselors. Also, we didn't need to bring anything to this workshop.  They provided the printed version of their Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation, so we could follow along and take notes as we needed and... lunch was provided! SCORE literally...(dork I know!)



SCORE San Diego Business Plan Workshop.

I think I could take this course three more times and still learn something from it.  It's a lot of information, and a great workshop for anyone interested in starting their own business. Now, I've got tons of work ahead, but now I've got the tools to do it! Great Job SCORE of San Diego! ~April

Where in the WORLD is SHEA CHIC?

Just for fun, I'd like to see where in the world SHEA CHIC has been. 
Summer is just around the corner and many of you will be traveling, so don't forget to pack your SHEA CHIC.  If you send me a picture of your SHEA CHIC product (clearly distinguishable) in front of a famous landmark or something that CLEARLY shows where the photo is being taken, I'll send you a "FREE" Shea Butter Naturally Chic Soap in your next order. I can't wait to see where in the world SHEA CHIC has been! Here are a few I've recently received! ~Enjoy~ and Safe Travels! ~April

Shopping in the SHEA CHIC Shop (...say that 4 times!)

Deirdre, Diane and I in the SHEA CHIC Shop.

Only on special occasions, do I open up my SHEA CHIC shop for a little V.I.P. shopping experience. Today was one of those days.  My good friend Diane and my new sweet and vibrant friend, Deirdre (in from Chicago) were ready for a little V.I.P. treatment. We had fun smelling and comparing our favorite fragrances and I even shared some secrets about the Spring SHEA CHIC line coming out soon.  In the future, I would love to have champagne and make a little happy hour out of it.  Oh the fun we would have.  Thank you Diane and Deirdre for a great afternoon! xo ~April

SCORE... Women helping Women!

Working hard at the SCORE Women's Business Breakfast March 18, 2011.

Today was Fantastic! This was the first SCORE Women's Breakfast that I've attended and held a SHEA CHIC table at.  The breakfast was held at Morgan Run Resort and Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California.  It was a full house!

SCORE Women's Business Breakfast in Rancho Santa Fe, California. Every seat taken!

Everyone who had a table was given the opportunity to talk about their business.  It was so inspiring listening to the ladies talk about their business and hear how everyone pitched their products.  Bobbi and I had a great time and can't wait for the next one in May!
