Hi Barbara, I just want to say thank you for doing this! You’re my inspiration as I feel so many similarities to your journey. Given my background in overcoming difficulties in school due to dyslexia and transitioning from a teacher to a business owner, I've launched a successful e-commerce business creating custom diamond paintings (it arts and crafts) while promoting mental health and while using artwork from real artists 🤗 After launching my business in march 2024 this year, I’ve done over 60K in sales with about 40% being profit before taxes…. Do I want to increase profitability, sales volume, both? My prices are already on the higher end. I’ve done an excellent job stating my business with no money down. Do you have any advice on when it might be the right time to consider holding inventory instead of continuing with drop shipping, or should I stick with my current model and save the headache of inventory? Love, Crimson 🤗🫶🤍
I could be wrong. But I sensed that you might have a cold. Maybe a sniffle.
My tried and true remedies might work for you. All during the Pandemic I worked. I delivered products from Walmart in Allentown PA To various locations in New Jersey.
Believe it or not. I had Covid 19 Symptoms 13 times in 6 months. My remedies worked against Covid.
But on 4 occasions I had to do some serious praying.
In the past 24 years. The only time my remedies didn't work was when I had a tooth infection. A sinus infection. And Pneumonia.
1. If my nose runs. I take 1 Spring Valley " Walmart" Brand Zinc. With food. In 5-6 hours my nose usually stops running!
2. If it persists. Then I eat 2 6 ounce cups of only " Stoney Field Farms Brand Yogurt". Only means - only this Brand!!!!
And I take a 2bd Zinc. Then I repeat the following morning and evening until fine!
3. If I have congestion. I reverse steps 1 and 2. Stoney Field first. Then Zinc
4. Sometimes before I get sick. My eyes water! When this happens. I reach for 2 6 ounce cups of Stoney Field. And in a few hours my runny eyes clear up. And I don't get sick.
5. If I can't clear my throat. Mouthwash will clear it. But if I don't have mouthwash handy. I take 1 Cold Eeze Brand or Generic Zinc Supplement. And within a few minutes I speak clearly again
6. If I ha a sore throat or I am coughing. I take Cold Eeze or that stores knock off generic brand Zinc Supplements all day. Along with 1 Spring Valley Zinc as soon as I have a sore throat. Or cough. And later that day....if necessary.
7. By the way. If you have ever gotten aches and pains when sick!? Zinc eliminates them!
Just remember to always take Zinc with food. Or you will get a bad stomach ache. If you get that stomach ache. Eat food right away.
If you don't get a stomach ache. Throw it away. It's no good.
I only swear by Spring Valley Brand sold at Walmart and The Vitamin Shoppe Brand
Fred Meyers up here in Washington. It's yuck! Poison. Lits so bad I spit it out.
On another note
If you help me find a partner. I will teach you how to get God. Yes Jesus....to find you a man.
From 2000 to 2017. I met 10 different women. They were about 97% of what I wanted.
If it worked for me. I think it might work for you!
Sorry Barbara.....For what ever reason I could not attend the Zoom Meeting until about 1219.
I work nights. I stayed awake to attend. I thought I logged in around 1130......at 1205 I heard nothing. But did get to see me. So if you not to my question. I am sorry that I missed the answer.
Barbara could you help me find a Business Partner to join me in a Startup? In exchange for 1/3 of the company!
I have a Patent on a product that solves a problem to an unnet need. Over 70% of the strangers I have interviewed offered to pay more for it. Than what my competitors products sell for
Like the Pebble Watch Campaign that solved a problem to an unnet need. I'd like to launch a crowd funded campaign. The Pebble Watch Boys asked for $100,000. One Hundred Thousand Dollars.
They received $10,000,000. Ten Million Dollars in pre-paid orders in less than 1 month.
I believe that if me and my new partner do it right. We will exceed our funding goal. Then after we are profitable. And Barbara and I and my new Partner split the profits equally.
6-9 Months after we have hired the right employees or sub-contractors to help our start-up grow. We will grow exponentially year after year.
This will be after I introduce my other products! And maybe services.
If and when you Barbara can spare some time. I would like your Guidance on how to scale successfully.
And use my profits to invest in income generating Real Estate like Apartment Buildings.
All of my products solve problems to unnet and poorly met needs. Better' than my competitors.
Please think about this before responding.
I am an ex NYKR. I currently live near Seattle, WA. I am single. So if you find me some one who wants to partner with me.
At the beginning of 2025 and after I find affordable housing and a local job. I will relocate to hopefully their home town.
My background is clean and I have never been in trouble with the Law.
Good morning, Barbara! I am a mom of two, working full-time in healthcare. There is a product idea I have had on my mind for years (related to my childhood dream), and I am finally ready to do something about it. Unfortunately, I just don’t know where to start! What would be my first steps?
Barbara, I’ve found a historic diner in my community that has a deep history. Although I don’t own the property, I believe there’s potential to turn it into a successful business that could revitalize the area. How would you suggest approaching investors or property owners about transforming a place like this? What are some ways to make a compelling case when you’re not the owner, but you’re passionate about the vision and impact it could have? Thank you!!!
Here’s a video I created with friends to gain traction:
I also have a reality TV series attached. Your answer here will be private. Yet if you personally become involved in perhaps apprenticing me on the project; we’d be very happy to have you be on the series and/or viral YT series 👍 Victoria CEO@ESP-ionage.com.
Hi Barbara. I have $6,500,000 for my Castle Restoration & Gifted Academy. Yet I must raise another $750,000 to $1Million within 2 weeks to save the school! What leads or resources are the most effective and quick ways to land the perfect Angel Investor or philanthropist who will love this project. If you say Angel Investor websites, please state a specific one as I have seen into several.
I am a full time bookkeeper with a side hustle bookkeeping for others for the past three years. I want to build my own business, make enough to quit my full time job and live well enough to not be stressed about money. I have so many wants… I want to be free but fear and worry are holding me back. Do you have any advice at all about overcoming the fear?
As the exclusive importer of 'Wine from the Sea' in the United States—a wine aged underwater to enhance its unique flavor profile—I would like to ask if you have come across our brand before. Additionally, what would be your top recommendation for marketing a luxury product like ours? We aim to highlight the exclusivity and craftsmanship of the wine while reaching a discerning audience.
Hi Barbara, I’d been doing freelance PR for close to three years on top of a full time job. I grew my business to where I could quit my full time job with savings, runway, and a close match to my full time salary. Do you have any advice for moving with clients confidence when you don’t always know when your next client is going to come onboard? I have a financial safety net if things go south, but the thought of using it terrifies me.

Hi Barbara
How can we introduce our product to big box stores that won't return our calls.
Elevator Pitch. No Investment Required.

Dear Ms. Corcoran,

Thank you for any insights you might share!
