Move your creative business goals forward right now with the Track This giveaway!
I’ve personally found with my own business, that biz owners (and small business owners especially) need to set very specific goals in order to succeed with their business and begin crossing these accomplished goals and tasks off of their list. Accomplished goals means money in the bank for you.
So, I am giving away FIVE of these goal guidebooks to get you moving in the right direction when it comes to your creative business. Each of 5 winners will receive their own 33 page digital copy of Track This! Creating and Tracking your Business Goals over the Next Year to help you get on track and stay on track not just this year, but forever because you can use this goal workbook year after year, not just in 2011.
*Watch the video sneak peek that takes you inside Track This now.

I know that building a lasting, successful business is important to you, so I wanted to do something really special for today’s giveaway. I am giving away a 3 month exhibition spot on papernstitch.com to one talented lady (or gent) worth over $150.
I completely understand that promoting your work online is a piece of the biz puzzle that can be down-right difficult, especially for creative entrepreneurs like you. And that is exactly why I am giving this away. One lucky winner will be chosen from the comments below to take part in the next 3 papernstitch exhibitions absolutely free of charge to get the much needed attention and exposure she (or he) deserves. You can learn more about papernstitch on the sellers page + while you are there, read over the sites testimonials and press mentions.
I never do giveaways for the exhibition site, so take advantage of this while its here because I honestly don’t know when (if ever) I’ll be doing this again.
International entries welcome. Anyone can submit for this giveaway (whether you’ve been on the site before or you haven’t). *Remember, papernstitch is a curated exhibition site, so I will be hand selecting the winner of this giveaway based on overall product quality, originality, and (of course) the answers to my question below.
Here’s how you enter:
Leave a comment below with your shop url (Etsy, Bigcartel, Personal Website, ArtFire, etc) AND 1-2 sentences describing why you think you should win a three month exhibition spot on papernstitch.com.
**Giveaway will end on Monday, June 20th at 11:59 pm EST.**

I’ve found that it helps to take a few minutes at the end of each day to think about the good (or even great) things that have happened earlier in the day. And writing it down is even better- I don’t know why, but writing down the positive things that have happened in your day, will help you wipe away those more negative elements. And leave you feeling happy and worthwhile. At least, that’s how it works for me.
So, I created a free printable to help you remember the good things that happened today (and every other day). It’s a downloadable pdf where you can list three good things that happen each day. Just print one out for each day of the week: print it, write it down, and save each page to look back on later (it will help heal your heart on those less than perfect days).

Mai McKemy’s line of innovative jewelry and hair accessories is delicate, sophisticated, and playful. Working with cast bronze, sterling silver, and other materials, she designs each item in the Woodland Belle collection personally and with great skills and attention to detail.
So what is a “Woodland Belle”? I’ll let Mai explain it:
“Blending sophistication with playfulness, my idea of the woodland belle is that of the modern woman full of charm and refined sensibilities…Simply put, a woodland belle is beautiful; a woodland belle is still a girl at heart, with a fire for discovery. She is bright and optimistic; she knows that there are still treasures to be found in the world.”
Inspired by the blue ridge mountains and objects in nature surrounding her studio. It’s hard to choose favorite but I’m in awe of this Tiny Succulent Garden necklace- they look like real plants!
Discount Code: Save 10% on your Woodland Belle order with code STITCHTEN
