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.

So, You want to be an Entrepreneur - Turning your Idea into a Business - Part 4 Targeting Markets

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's post!  Thanks for following along with the "So, you want to be an Entrepreneur" series!  Today is Part 4, and in case you missed Part 1 , Part 2 , and Part 3 follow the links! Yesterday we talked about narrowing down your target market, and today we are talking about marketing to the target markets you already know of and/or the target markets you can easily find. Perhaps you are a teacher, and already know a large network of teachers, and provide a product or service that can be useful for teachers.  Adjust your pictures and text to target those markets you already have. Think about the similarities that you have with existing friends.  Perhaps some of them would generously provide you with feedback on your items to give you new ideas or descriptive words that you can use to promote your product or service. Think about your hobbies and other groups of people that you are already interacting with.  Is there a product ...

Time Management - Tips for Women Entrepreneurs - Part 5 Grace and Understanding

This is the last post in the Time Management Series!  You can find post 1 here, post 2 here, post 3 here, and post 4 here!  Today we will be wrapping up this series talking about grace, understanding, and perfection. Time is a tricky thing ... We all have the same 24 hours in a day, and none of us really know how many days we are going to get!  I came up with the idea for this group, blog, project about 6 months ago and I am just now getting around to making it happen.  You know why?  Because life, life happens, and we don't always get to choose what things happen, when they happen, and the extent of them. Despite my best intentions, there have been plenty of years that I planted a garden and things didn't get harvested.  I've learned to appreciate the beauty of okra flowers, how large squash and zucchini can grow over night, and that feeding wildlife is much easier than I have ever anticipated.  This picture is from June 29, 2010 and the...

So, You want to be an Entrepreneur - Turning your Idea into a Business - Part 1

So, you want to be an entrepreneur.  It's intriguing, it's sexy, it's the dream to be the captain of your ship!  At least that is what they say ... Now, how to take that little idea and turn it into a viable business.  This is part 1 in this series, and please know that these are my ideas, suggestions, but this is the real world, and this is not a guarantee that you will be successful in your entrepreneurial quest. Being an entrepreneur was not my childhood dream, it was not something I even expected to be doing when I was 18, 21, 25 or even 28 when I became self employed.  I became an entrepreneur over time, and I didn't even realize that I was carefully planning and laying my foundation for success. If I told you the product lines that I started thinking of initially, versus what my product lines are now, you may be surprised that they are much different.  Although one of those products became my focus, not all of them stood the test of time.  Be ope...
