Have you introduced yourself yet? Please do!

Hi Everyone, I'm go glad to be a part of this group. I wish you were in the Northeast too, so I could participate more. I'm fairly new to Biznik. I'm an amateur nature photographer. My goal for my photography is to show the passion I have for protecting animals and the environment and change the way people view these beautiful creatures and our planet. If you want, you can check out my photography at www.thebeautyofcreation.com. If you have any suggestions on how I can bring my business to the next level, I'd love to hear it. Thanks so much.

I just run the business by myself, pretty new to all this! Also, my prices are retail but I have had wholesale orders too, which I lower the prices for. But really I do not have a lot of orders yet at all. Hopefully that will change soon!

Hello everyone! I'm very interested in this group - I love Lynn's messages she sends out and I've heard really good things about the events. I'm hoping to make it to an event very soon!

Have you seen the show 'Clean Sweep' or 'Clean House'? I help people get organized - but I'm nicer than the shows. I work with people in their homes AND their businesses. I also teach classes and workshops on organizing and productivity!

I just finished a very busy month of teaching and speaking ... my calendar is a little lighter for the rest of the quarter but if you are interested in learning more about me - check out my website at: www.clearintentionsnw.com

I'm in the process of dropping my business name and just using my name - but I haven't changed the website.

Hello, Power Chicks!

I'm another new member out in the Portland, OR area (maybe there are enough of us now to have more events of our own?), working from a home office, and using online resources to keep myself from talking to the dog TOO much.

I'm an IT consultant, and I help small- to mid-sized businesses (and non-profits) figure out how to solve their business problems with technology.

That broad job description means that I get to do everything from help a client build a custom software solution or website, to helping them implement an existing software package, to teaching them how to use the software they already have to do new things. It's fun to get to be involved in so many different kinds of problem-solving projects.

Now I just need to find an online social outlet for the dog, so he doesn't get too lonely...

Hey y'all! I'm brand new to biznik and to Power Chicks. I'm in Atlanta, GA and own PlayWorks Group, a team building event planning firm. I've been in business since 2002. We work with corporations and for other event planners, creating engaging and entertaining team building programs.

I'm looking forward to being a part of this group and connecting with everyone!

Hi Everyone, I only recently found this group but have heard great things about it from several members. My name is Darla Atwood and I am a raw food teacher.

My work is about helping people eat more fruits and vegetables. I help people who have gluten and dairy allergies, children who won't eat their fruits and vegetables and teen vegans who live on pizza and pasta.

I am certified by the Living Light Culinary Institute as an associate chef and instructor and am licensed to teach their recipes.

I offer private instruction for you and a friend in your home or mine. Whether you want to grow your own sprouts, learn flourless dessert recipes, or ice cream without dairy or simply more smoothie recipes I can help you find food to eat that is not only nourishing but tasty.

Hey fellow power chicks!

I'm Donna Krstec and have been in the SEO internet marketing industry since 1996 (before the term was even penned!) when I first opened my doors as a web designer. I started out in New Jersey and now continue my SEO business both there and in Phoenix where I now live since 2003.

Looking forward to the 'learn and share' concept with this group, as I've done with other groups in my social network. Also hoping to attend one of your events in the Phoenix area!

Hi all! My name is Megan Spears and I am an organizing consultant.

I live in Hood River, Oregon (aka the Columbia River Gorge area) and I work with small businesses and busy families who need help creating better management systems. Helping people learn how to be better organized is my passion and seeing the great results is my reward!

Feel free to check out my business at http://www.disorder2order.com. I look forward to learning from you all!

Hi Everybody,

I cannot believe I haven't introduced myself here but I did look at all of you and thought, "What a fantastic group of women!" I always get energy from women who give so much of themselves in service of others' empowerment.

My background? I'm a former professor of philosophy, psychology, religion and gender studies (often teaching in philosophy departments). In 2006, I switched to my own coaching business when I lost my teaching job and was replaced by a temp, like so many other Americans.

Because of working in publishing while getting my doctorate and keeping my jobs by publishing my own books like crazy, I know how to help you navigate this process of becoming an author with the least hassles.

Checkout my book publishing workshop coming up the first Friday in March at the Ballard Library (10:15-11:45).

Sign up for a free 30" sample session if there's anyway you'd like to see how we might work together: 206.617-8832.

Until next time,

Jennifer

Hello Ladies, My name is munmun.I am a Recruitment consultant.I have just started my own business from home, although i have been working in a recruitment company who specialize in overseas recruitment. i made a lot of connection through that. i am a graduate in interior design. i am also a member of a freelance design group who do a lot of interior design, graphic design, web design work. it’s nice to know that I am part of a group that I can share my ups and down with, to share hopes and dreams and to get suggestion about how to put the first foot to the road that leads to it.

Hi there Power Chicks!

This is kinda funny...I live in Cleveland, OH and somehow stumbled upon your group. I loved the name because it sounded like me! But now I realize it's a local group in Seattle, WA - I hope you don't mind if I follow anyways! (I've been to Seattle a bunch, does that count????!)

I am a Holistic Health Counselor and I work with clients who are struggling with eating healthy and living a balanced lifestyle. Most of my clients who come to me are interested in losing weight, improving their health, creating more healthy habits, and decreasing stress. I specialize in sugar addiction and adrenal exhaustion, which is an extremely prevalent condition in our society that many people suffer from and don’t even realize.

My website is WellnessWithAngela.com, which is currently under construction. My new site is to be released soon and I can't wait! If anyone is interested, I posted an event I am having this evening via teleseminar on The Health Benefits of Chocolate Demystifed! You can sign up here if you'd like to join --> http://mim.io/a4162

Thanks so much and I look forward to "mingling" with you all!
