Blogging For Your Small Business
Last week I taught another class, this one was “Blogging For Your Small Business” held at The Bear Public Library, in Bear, DE. It was the second blogging class that I had an opportunity to teach thanks to The Money School of Delaware. There weren’t as many students enrolled in this class which allowed us more time for questions and answers as well as to do a little networking.
In attendance, along with her mother was Kayla Williams, a 9 year old who is the owner and designer of Kay-Luv-Kreations Jewelry. Kayla showcased her current line of jewelry and has already participated in several vendoring events at Churches and local Craft Shows. This young lady is a lovely entrepreneur and her mother is certainly proud of her. Kayla can be contacted via email at kaylagems123@aol.com.
Lynette Oliver, The SewLadi, creates and sells adorable Handmade Gift Items including Hats, Scarves, Dolls, Key Chain Holders, Money trees, Business Card Holders and Cotton Dish Cloth Dresses. Lynette also conducts sewing, knitting and crocheting classes and has an Etsy Shop, www.etsy.com/shop/thesweladi. Lynette can be reached at thesewladi@gmail.com.
Regina Redden, Consultant/Educator is a very passionate woman when it comes to the upbringing and educating today’s youth. Helping early childhood educators provide building blocks for a strong foundation is her motto, and she can be reached at Edu1Consultants@hotmail.com.
Also in attendance was Carla Shipman owner of Declutter Enterprise, LLC, who I had previously met at The Money School’s Green Tie Event. I will definitely be enlisting her services in preparation of downsizing our home over the course of the next several years. Carla can be reached at csdeclutter@gmail.com.

The only male attendee in the class was Willard Williams, of Gemstone Real Estate Group, who kept me on my toes with his many questions. As an educator it’s job satisfaction when you can share your knowledge with others especially to those who are eager to learn. If you are in need of housing services, rentals, lease or purchases, Willard can be reached at williamswillard993@yahoo.com.
I would like to once again thank The Money School of Delaware for giving me an opportunity to be a guest instructor. I know that it is a stepping stone leading to something great for my retirement years…yes, I’m putting it into the atmosphere!
Have a fantabulous day – Smooches
I would of been so nervous…afraid they would throw questions at me that I couldn’t answer. You look like a natural up there.
Thank you, I was a little nervous but they were so nice and I was teaching what I knew so it wasn’t so hard.
Great post. Blessings, Mtetar
Thank you my dear, enjoy the rest of your day/evening.
Looks wonderful! That little girl is a stunner and so is the teacher!
oh aren’t you a sweetheart – thank you!
You will never retire because you will be a part-time-full-time instructor and it appears that you will be in demand!!! That’s GREAT.
How sweet you are to say this, and yes, I would love to return to teaching during my retirement years which is why I have asked God to order my steps….
Well done! It’s always a little nerve wracking isn’t it? I also get a bit anxious before I give my workshops too, but like you I love it and it’s great talking about something that we’re so passionate about ie blogging 😉
Yes, I think I was more anxious the weeks leading up to the class than actually being in front of the class. Teaching what you love definitely makes a world of difference – thank you for stopping by and commenting.
Nice work you are doing here! and the nine year old girl…mine oh mine…so wowed!
Yes, she is adorable!
Nice job!
Thank you, looking forward to conducting more classes in 2014.
