CASTING: Entrepueneur Moms in Real Estate

 CASTING: Entrepueneur Moms in Real Estate, Interior Design, or something "home related"!

Mom Entrepreneurs

My friends at Departure Films is looking for a multi-tasking mom with her own business in either the fields of interior decorating or real estate (other home-centric ventures also considered). We want to find the woman who has it all and does it with style! A woman who still has school-aged children and balances that world with her successful business venture.

The series is in early development and could go in many directions, but the nature of this business should in some way relate to the home. If you are an interior designer, we are seeking someone who does a fair volume of projects for paying clients- impeccable style and hands-on skill are a must. This mom’s design business should have sprung from a natural love of design, and does not necessarily require formal training. Real estate moms should have a real solid knowledge of the industry and consider themselves a major player in their market.

They should deal in residential sales or brokerage, and deally work with homes that are mid-grade to high end. In either case, this mom should be a rock star who has been able to maintain a balance in her work and home lives- the kids may tag along at a client consultation, or deals might be sealed at half-time of a Pop Warner football game, but Mom is always as step ahead of her client and two steps ahead of the kids! Please email with a brief introduction, phone/email contact info, and some information that highlights your background, and a list detailing your complete skill set.

Please email all materials to jessika@departure-films.com. Please include any pictures of yourself and your family, past projects, links to video, etc


 

Matthew Lesko at South by Southwest 2011

Greg Monterrosa and Matthew Lesko

Our company was asked to take part of it this years SXSW in Austin, Texas. So naturally I asked our good friend and my mentor Matthew Lesko if he wanted to come out to Austin with us. I'm glad he agreed. People love him! Everyone who looks his way cant help but smile. He really is a good man. I feel very fortunate to get to hang out with him and have some really great conversations.  I received the coolest shirt from a company there that said "Life is short, Make it amazing". This sums up the stage I'm in right now. Be around people that inspire you and you admire. Lets see what happens. Here is a video Matthew Lesko did on MyLLC.com.




This is a new project that involved him. This award winning documentary is titled The Gospel According to Matthew.

Making Money with Online Surveys

So I have been a member of surveysavvy.com for a few years now. Survey Savvy sends me emails daily asking to take part in online surveys that last anywhere from 5-20 minutes for cash. I usually do these survey from my phone when I'm waiting or bored. its been an interesting way to make cash, and they are very quick to pay you. Do date I've made over $300 with these guys, again filling our easy online surveys. Fun if anything and easy.  You can sign up to do theses and give it a try at http://www.surveysavvy.com/

I just signed upto Social Spark

I have been blogging and on the internet for some time now. I always enjoy researching new ways of getting messages across. This is how I came across Social Spark. Social sparks works with bloggers and advertisers hand in hand. Brilliant! I did my research and found that they are highly recommended by allot of today’s top bloggers. Creating an account was very simple, the interface is very user friendly, and is a very fast process. I usually hate filling out online forms that are very long or repetitive, this was none of that. If anything it was one of the most engaging online forms I have encountered.




As a blogger I look forward to getting to know allot of other services and products that can help you my visitor. The goal has always been to bringing you tools are resources. So, keep the comments coming, and let me know if there is an area you would like me to cover. As an advertiser I hope to engage with other like minded bloggers who are as passionate with educating entrepreneurs as I am. I plan on posting one or two bloggers requested on social spark. I’ll keep you all posted on the experience.
