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.

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 bus...

Managing your Expectations - Part 3 - Where are you going and how will you get there

When starting a business, a lot of people will tell you that you need a business plan.  However, a lot of people starting a business simply start with an idea or just simply wanting to supplement their current income.  A business plan isn't something that they think is necessary.  Business plans are thought of as something that only large businesses trying to get funding need.  However, business plans can provide an important road map for even the smallest of businesses. In a lot of cases, people spend more effort planning a dinner or lunch date, than they do on planning their business.  It starts with an invite to eat, should you invite others, what time will you meet, what restaurant will you eat at, where is the restaurant, map the location on your GPS, do you need to make reservations, how long will it take you to drive there, do you need to make arrangements for parking, how expensive is the menu, what will you wear, and how long will it take you to get r...
