All in a Day's Work...

Yesterday Rachel and I went to the BX on Base to peddle our wares. 

She was selling her Peruvian jewelry. 

We also set up Christian's organic, handmade soap and Hannah's beeswax candles. 

The kiosks were gorgeous; even had spotlights.  

And we could have asked for a cash register. 

This was better than "playing store" when my sister and I were little. 

We were really doing it in a real-live place of business. 

Yet it felt like we were playing. 

It really is a game. 

How professional can one act?  

How long does one have to "fake it til you make it?"  

Not long.  

Experience truly is the best teacher. 

The more you do it, meet the public and sell your wares, the easier it becomes. 

The day wasn't a hugely profitable day, but it was hugely profitable in a non-financial way. 

Bargain Hunting

Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from  it. 

Today Rachel and I had to run to Walgreen's for an article. 

WHile I was busy scouring the aisle for my needed item, she was scouring the bargain bin and came back with rechargeable batteries . 

I asked, "WHere did you find that?" 

SHe took me to the bargain bin where I proceeded to find discount ink cartridges for my printer. 

What a find. 

what an eye. 

What a nose for bargains.  

That's my Rachel.. 

Always looking and planning ahead. 

ONly one of the many characteristics owning your own business will give  you.
