I already had the pleasure of interview Shetora Edlin an amazing friend, mother, and cook. Shetora started her own bakery company “Prissy Sweet Cake Treats” in the Washington, DC metro area. Her motivation for starting her own business she grew tired of the “routine”…get up, get ready for work, put in her 8 hours doing something I was less than passionate about, going home and doing it all again the next day.  To me, that life is like dying a slow agonizing death!  There is more to life than working and since I have to earn a living, I might as well do it by doing something I love and am in control of…  I want to leave my daughter her own empire!” Her motivation behind the name of her company “I like for people to see me in whatever project I attach my name to and since my business was going to be cupcakes (started out as just cupcakes in the idea phase), they’d have to be the prettiest, girlish, daintiest cupcakes anyone has ever come across…Prissy Sweet Cake Treats would be where pretty & tasty meet!” For the full interview on Shetora Edlin you can read about her strengths, influence, weakness, her drive, and who is Shetora besides being an owner of “Prissy Sweet Cake Treats” https://rateds4superwoman.com/2014/03/26/shetora-edlin/

National Small Business Week

small business week

By: Ms. J

“In his proclamation declaring May 12-16 as National Small Business Week, President Barack Obama called small businesses “the lifeblood of our economy, employing half of our country’s workforce and creating nearly two out of every three new American jobs.” (CNBC).

Hosted in select cities each year, the SBA uses this opportunity as a forum to foster and assist small businesses around the U.S. This year, San Francisco, Kansas City, Boston and Washington D.C. were the top cities chosen to host this year’s events. If you happen to reside in or close to one of these cities, take a moment to attend, learn and use the knowledge the government is offering to further your business opportunity.
