It Takes Time and Hard WOrk



Last night my 13 yo daughter and I stayed up way past midnight to finish her video project.


You see, Rachel has her own business and has had one since age 6.


Currently, her business is "Every Girlz Dream Jewelry Company."


What a cute and appropriate name.


She is definitely selling her passion.


For her 13th birthday she got her ears pierced (at a tattoo parlour(!) but, that's another story!) and since then she has been crazy about pierced earrings.


Her video project was the Import/Export Idea Challenge sponsored by the Entrepreneruship Forum.


She made her own Power Point Slides (easy to do I found out!) and showcased her website.


The content was relatively easy to put together; it was the technical side where we struggled.


IT turned out our video was not in the right format and we tried to convert it, to no avail.


We are not sure if her entry will count in the contest.


It may be a learning experience and an exercise in acquiring new skills.


I know our video is not professional and not the best job, but we got it done and learned from the project.
Plus, how many 13 yos import jewlery from Peru?
It is not about perfection, it is about doing it and getting it done!
