About Us

A Woman With A Business is tribe of women in business! Celebrating success, solving problems, overcoming pain points. Real conversations with other women in business!  We are a new group of both new and established women run businesses, currently 40+ members.  We also have who are partners in their business.  We welcome Etsy sellers and non Etsy sellers, handmakers and non-handmakers.  Our differences in business allow us to network, share information, and provide an outside perspective on situations.  If you are a woman in business, we welcome you!

April, owner and creator behind MooreMagnets and ThePebblePathway, currently runs A Woman With A Business.  April started her business in 2005, knowing little about being an entrepreneur, and desperately needing the support of other women business owners.  In April 2008, faced with unemployment from the traditional business sector, a young child switching from pre-school to kindergarten, a husband working out of town, and two stepsons that needed time and attention, she found Etsy and a community that she will be forever indebted to.  She reached out and found an amazing community of women, and a few men, who were willing to give her advice, provide her with encouragement, and pass along their knowledge.

These women are the reason behind A Woman With A Business.  Without the support of other women in business, April would not still be in business now.  Through hard work, support, and guidance of other women in business she overcame obstacles and continues to thrive in business.

Slowdowns and Slumps - When to freakout, When to take action, and What to do about it - Etsy Stats

This week I am talking about Slumps and Slowdowns ... how to know if you are really in a slump or slowdown, when to freak out, and what to do about it! Today is all about analyzing stats.  Over and over I have witnessed people freaking out about slowdowns because their stats are down from a day ago, a week ago, and a month ago ... but just this is not enough information to know if you are really experiencing a slowdown.  Retail sales are cyclical, and you need to know your cycles.  If you cannot deal with the natural cycles in your business, then you need to develop a new product line that will work opposite those cycles in your current business.  Trying to even out cycles in your current business is much harder than creating a product line that you market to a different market to fill in slow cycles.  Also note, that cycles in business will fluctuate year to year, and your sales should be increasing during these cycles year to year.  Although as your business grows, you may also fin

Managing your expectations as an Entrepreneur - Part 1

Expectations in entrepreneurship are big, bold, lofty, and the pressure to succeed is huge.  You may feel pressure to perform, sell, grow, and do do do.  Managing those expectations look different for each entrepreneur and it is important to manage your own.  What are your expectations of yourself? Social media burst onto the scene in a big way, and the pressures on businesses to have a social media presence are huge for entrepreneurs.  We are expected to be available, post great content, post fabulous pictures, grow, interact, and be available. As an entrepreneur, you are in control of managing those expectations of yourself. Set limits and times to post on your social media accounts.  If you find yourself going over those time limits, consider a timer that beeps at you.   Monitor what content you are reading, and if it is content that is meaningful in your life.  If you find that you are reading a lot of content that is not having a positive impact on your life and relationships,
