The thing that allows me to not pass out from insecurity and fear is the thought that I want people to have my products. I am passionate about why they are a good and valuable thing. The selling and the sale is not about me but about the planet and the customers' benefit. <br />Good luck at the show and congratulations on having the opportunity to share your passion!!sheila at shecologicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811339589837502298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-60217190269768596142010-08-05T17:50:20.629-04:002010-08-05T17:50:20.629-04:00Cat, I'm so excited for you..when I read your ...Cat, I'm so excited for you..when I read your posts regarding this show I can't help but wish I was there with you. So, I'm sending you my full support! I think we all go through doubt, we wonder, "will they GET it?" and the thing is they will! They will feel you and they will understand your product and it's purpose. Thank you for sharing such lovely thoughts.

I just started taking my Arts & Crafts to the business level and am very nervous! But I agree with the idea of our passion being the key to success, which enables us to keep our passions open and alive. <br /><br />Good luck!! <br /><br /><br />www.ReallyTanya.blogspot.comTanya Bermudezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209448490986094274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-62154444174118732412010-08-02T14:58:42.651-04:002010-08-02T14:58:42.651-04:00Loved this, Cat, particularly after just wrapping ...Loved this, Cat, particularly after just wrapping up the Renegade show this weekend. I had been playing in my head with wrapping up my biz - not sure that my creations were that desirable anymore, etc. And was awed and humbled by the wonderfully positive feedback from folks in person. Seeing the expression on my niche market's faces when they saw and touched and oohed and aahed. So, not wrapping things up just yet ... :)<br /><br />That said, the art of sales is ... an art. And a learnable one! The parts that aren't easily learnable are the parts that you already get: passion, creation, creativity, expertise in your product, etc.<br /><br />I am SO excited for you and want to hear more about your wholesale show prep and shows! You're going to rock it. Truly. xoxoBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526882746974417481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-78455961654036588672010-08-02T08:47:35.558-04:002010-08-02T08:47:35.558-04:00THANKS Sherry- yes, my tap dancing shoes are very ...THANKS Sherry- yes, my tap dancing shoes are very old - glad I won't need them - xoCatherine Ivinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-20064834992456692942010-08-02T07:58:36.280-04:002010-08-02T07:58:36.280-04:00I often think when we write on our blogs, it is qu...I often think when we write on our blogs, it is quite brave. This conversation you've had with us this morning is the one you've had with yourself for quite awhile.<br /><br />So, I will simply say, you will have a smashing show. Not because your lines are wonderful, they are, of course, but because you believe in them. <br /><br />No dancing required, my friend.<br /><br /><br />xoSherrySherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425809129458460775noreply@blogger.com
