Just Because vs Just Because

There comes a point in your life when following the crowd becomes a thing of the past and voicing your opinion is the thing of the present and your future. The beginning of doing things "JUST BECAUSE" instead of "JUST BECAUSE". Confused? I know. So let me explain. Someone hit me up on twitter asking me to vote for their blog. I informed her that I needed to check out the blog first before I voted. Now, I am all for supporting my peoples but I will not lend my voice to something that I don't believe in or have any substance of any sorts. The woman I am becoming will not allow me to be apart of the in crowd. I want to live and think outside of the box. No longer will I do things "JUST BECAUSE". "JUST BECAUSE", what you ask?

"JUST BECAUSE"...I want to be liked
"JUST BECAUSE"....You are black
"JUST BECAUSE"...I want girl power
"JUST BECAUSE"...You asked

If I want to do something, I want to do it because I want to not because it was force down my throat. Folks tend to forget the power of free will. The product needs to fit into my world. It needs to be beneficial to the community. It needs to come from a pure place. If I lend my blog, voice, Facebook page, Twitter Timeline to something it will be on the bases of realness. So, when I do something "JUST BECAUSE" it will be because Charvass feels a great deal about the product. Again, let me explain.

"JUST BECAUSE"...It fits into my world.
"JUST BECAUSE"...I believe in the brand and the person
"JUST BECAUSE"...I support honesty and integrity
"JUST BECAUSE"...You have been a factor in my growth as a woman
"JUST BECAUSE"...Hell, because I want to!

So, I will not do something "JUST BECAUSE" you asked and want me to be on some "POWER TO THE PEOPLE" bull. Doing something "JUST BECAUSE" has to come from an honest place like a husband sending his wife flowers "JUST BECAUSE". Come to think about it, the ones asking me to do something "JUST BECAUSE" hasn't supported me in a damn thing. So, hell no I am not going to do it "JUST BECAUSE".

Sinsational Craze: Virtual Parties




If you are a bonafide hustler, you will think of innovative ways to make your money. Virtual Parties have become an entrepreneurs dream; this statement is especially true if you are a student, parent or working a full time job while promoting your business! You can reach the mass without leaving the comforts of your own home. It's a great way to showcase new and exclusive products before anyone else sees them. Virtual parties also are great for meeting new people and expanding your brand! As a business owner, you have to constantly stay one step ahead of the competition; You have to be aggressive, sharp and fearless as a business owner!

Alisha Pean of Domestic Divas Designs (who was always a Sinsational Spotlight) holds a Virtual Jewelry Party at least once a month and she has been successful with this approach. In addition to her holding her own Virtual Parties, she has been booked for quite a few private parties. If you are camera shy, that's ok. You can pre-record yourself showcasing your products and send it out as an email blast. If you need help ulitizing Social Media tools hit up Natalie Gouche the Mogul Mom. She is a guru when it comes to Social Media tools such as email blast, Twitter, Facebook, video marketing, etc. Find her here at http://www.NatalieGouche.com.

So, if you want to expand your brand and reach households across the world then you need to set up an Ustream or Skype account and get to partying....#makemoney
