Do You Like Talking?

Why am I ask­ing?  Because any­thing that you like doing, can be turned into a busi­ness.  Any­thing.  Don’t take your tal­ents for granted.  Since you are so good at what­ever that “thing” is, you prob­a­bly never stop to take notice that it’s some­thing you excel at.  Some­thing you do extremely well, with­out even try­ing.  Take a moment — some moments, to think about it and see what you come up with and then “Go For It!”

While you pon­der, let me ask…

Do you know the name Jas­mine Lawrence? Or how about Amiya Alexan­der?  You might, you might not.  They are both young, pow­er­houses who used their tal­ents to make careers for them­selves.  Allow me to intro­duce them both to you:

Jas­mine Lawrence, CEO & Founder.

A 17 year old, from Williamstown, NJ., who at the age of 15, founded her own com­pany called Eden: Body Works — a nat­ural hair and skin prod­uct line.

At the age of 11, Jas­mine lost all her hair due to a bad expe­ri­ence with chem­i­cal relaxer.

Tired of all the harsh prod­ucts avail­able, at the age of 13, she decided to make her own prod­ucts — some­thing that was bet­ter suited for her hair.

Jasmine’s Eden: Body Works, sham­poo, con­di­tioner, hair milk, and hair oil, can be found at your local Wal-Mart stores.

Amiya Alexan­der, CEO & Founder.

A 10-year old diva with her own mobile dance stu­dio.  In an inter­view with msnbc, Amiya said the idea for her bus came to her in a dream.  When she awoke the next day, she drew a pic­ture of the bus,  gave it to her mother, dis­cussed the details of her vision, and the rest is history.

Amiya has been a dancer since the age of 2, and a mem­ber of the Detroit Pis­tons Junior Automa­tion.  She teaches var­i­ous types of dance, to both male and female stu­dents, rang­ing in ages from 2 through 12.  Visit Amiya’s web­site to get acquainted:  amiyasdancebus.com

Both Jas­mine and Amiya turned their pas­sions and visions into lucra­tive busi­nesses.  YOU can too!  All it takes is think­ing of, and tak­ing seri­ously, those spe­cial skills you have been blessed with.  Do you like to clean, do you like to orga­nize, do you like to help your friends shop for cute clothes and acces­sories?  Do you like doing hair?

Remem­ber this:  There are not many peo­ple in this world that end up doing what they love to do, but you have a chance to do that by uti­liz­ing your God-given tal­ents.  So put your think­ing caps on and make it happen…then come back by Baby­girlz and tell us your story!
