The Philadelphia Business Journal’s article all about DonnaTechDesigns came out today! It was such a surprise! I got a call from a very nice woman asking me if I would like her company to preserve the article for posterity in a beautiful ebony frame… and I was like, “HUH?!?”

Something very exciting happened to me last week. I got a call from a journalist with the Philadelphia Business Journal. She had heard about the work I am doing and wanted to interview me for an article she’s writing about young entrepreneurs. I think the surge of joy I felt at that moment had more to do with being considered young than an entrepreneur!

I made a pact to publish a monthly newsletter with myself back in February. March was quickly coming to an end and I couldn’t let it pass without a newsletter! I mean, how would that look?

It was a last minute decision to rent a booth at the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce’s Expo. Originally my plan was to just walk around and talk to people but the more I contemplated doing that, the more I began to feel like a cheap jerk who wants to sell but doesn’t want to buy. And so I ponied up and got a table. I am glad I did! I met some great people, many of whom I know I can help grow their business!

I just sent out my first newsletter today! It was quite an undertaking. I wrote all the content myself! It was important to me that the newsletter was well-written and interesting to the reader. I get so many newsletters delivered to my inbox but there are very few I read or look forward to reading. My favorites are Jeffrey Gitomer’s Sales Caffeine and Dreamhost’s monthly newsletter. I took A LOT of inspiration from both of them.
