Profile Information

About my Business:
In the textile studio, I both weave and knit colorful rugs and wall hangings from recycled t shirts, old clothes, and fill from a local t shirt manufacturer.

On weekends, I can be found at local street fairs and gatherings with 50-60 hula hoops in sizes from 24-72" (tiny child to large adult), teaching people that they CAN use a (hula) hoop when it's the correct size for their current body.

Reasonably literate in tolerable social networking that doesn't hurt, doing SEO research for micro businesses and artists who need a bigger presence on the internet.
About Me:
An artist fascinated with color and reuse. A dancer able to engage adults into new activity. Living at the intersection of "sharp" and "blunt."
My Ideal Referral is:
For hooping: outdoor party planners, picnics, reunions, family days

For art rugs: someone who needs a smallish area rug to protect wall-to-wall; as an accent to liven up a space, or a wall hanging to dampen echos in an acoustically lively space.

Custom rugs can be created from a stash of souvenir t shirts!
My Ideal Referral Partner is:
Interior designers who need custom rugs and wall hangings for a client.

Event planners who want engaging, novel entertainment for their outdoor events.

March 21, 2013 from 8am to 10pm
Learn how to use Pinterest, the newest (and most fun!) social media service, to drive traffic to your business’ website, establish credibility, convey expertise and a sense of who you are as a business person, and develop relationship with clients and partners. Pinterest is everything Twitter promised, only it’s fun! Pinterest marketing is most obviously useful for people in the ‘portfolio’ professions–anyone who uses pictures of their work as a sales tool. But people in many other fields are…See More

Pinterest for Realtors: Tech Tools Board

My Realtor-client Gerry Fiks, of Real Estate Services NC, attended the Tech Tools for Realtors conference at the Raleigh Realtors Association yesterday. I was disappointed, to say the least, that Pinterest got almost NO attention. The speakers focused on smart phone apps and Facebook.I expect I'll be working with Gerry more in Evernote and DropBox, both great ways to share information and files without sneaker net. However, both of those…See More

Hiring away from

No, not like anchors away....

Hiring a new employee away from another business... when you know the business owner.

  • Does it matter if he's a competitor, or simply someone you know?
  • Does it matter if she knew the employee wasn't working up to potential, and you have a great opportunity?
  • What if the employee approached you before you thought of making an offer?

People in my circle have a mixture of responses to these…

Position contract?

In The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber calls the bit of writing that describes the relationship between the business, its results, and the people who do the work as a

"position contract" (p. 174). It may have once been a good label,

although the term hasn't caught on in the industry and Google equates it

with "contract position," an entirely different…

Umm... Uhh... Non-words in Public Speaking

Posted on March 3, 2010 at 8:47am 7 Comments

There's a simple solution to the non-words "umm" and "uhh" in public speaking: it is virtually impossible to "umm" and "uhh" when you are making eye contact with a specific person.

Umms and uhhs happen when you look at your notes, the wall, the ceiling, the floor, or a crowd. They never happen while you are looking directly at another person's eyes. Try it for yourself. Observe how people make eye contact when they speak, or don't, at the next meeting you attend.

If you're on…

Hey Karen, want to take a minute and personally Thank you! for being Inside919, I wish you and yours Happy Holidays, a Very Merry Christmas and the Most Successful 2013 possible.

Hi Karen: I wanted to send my apologies that I will not be able to attend your training tomorrow due to a scheduling conflict, but how I wanted to. I will watch out for your next event. Have a fun training. ~Julie

Hey Karen, appreciate you becoming an "Insider", I've added the "IN" badge to your profile, Featured you, and have provided access to the "Insider Only Trainings.

I look forward to serving you and please let me know whenever I can be of help around here.

Hey Karen, just wanted to get you the latest update on the Membership Transition of Inside919.

The free Member option is simply not going to work out - with it I have no way to determine who is interested in being an active member and who is simply not checking their email or these comments.

Not requiring some sort of decision leaves us with the same problem I'm trying to resolve. I am sorry for the confusion I've caused.

Simply click on the link above to see where we're going and why.

Let me know if you have any questions - the Goal is to create a more active and dynamic business community.

Hey Karen, wanted to Personally invite you to not only "Like" the ComeOnInside Facebook Page but also post a link to "YOUR" Facebook Business Page or Website/Blog - I hope to continue to bring more visibility to Insiders by extending our reach.

Linkedin Group and National Directory coming soon. :)

Hope it helps

Greetings Karen I was so glad to see you signed up for the hands-on gorilla course. Thanks! I hope it will be very useful for you. Would you be willing to check the event here on Inside919 and just click here that you are attending, too. That way others here can see that there are people coming. I'd appreciate this, thanks!

Look at my sidebar (just updated my main page); rss feeds are available, and details can be displayed, however, not in the 'content' section.
At 10:04pm on October 19, 2010, Bob Walton said…
Karen,
Thanks, I wasn't sure what to do about content/blog posts. If I understand correctly, blog posts need to be copied into the content post here. What about rss feeds from our blog posts; would that show up automatically here if we were to set it up? Thanks, this is the only pressing thought I have on the site right now.

Did you enjoy Howie's camp?
