The Need to Create 3 Collections within a Strong Collection

Once I made the decision to become an entrepreneur and came up with a business idea, I needed to create 3 collections within a strong collection. Why would you need 3 collections, I asked myself. From my research, I came across the Power of 3. But what does that mean and how does this affect my business? There are 3 dimensions for seeing life and experiencing life. They are imagination, memory and experience. Basically, these 3 dimensions are essential for the human experience of life. They say that life happens between memory, experience and imagination.

So what is a collection?

The dictionary defined a collection as the action or process of collecting someone or something. Second, as a group of things or people. Third, an assembly of items such as works of art, pieces of writing, or natural objects, especially one systematically ordered. Fourth, an art museum’s holdings organized by medium, such as sculpture, painting, or photography. Fifth, a book or recording containing various texts, poems, songs, etc. Sixth, a range of new clothes produced by fashion house.

What are the 3 Must Haves for Creating a Strong Collection?

For a collection to have a strong presence, you must consider the 3 pillars of style, type and size.

  1. Signature Style
  2. Collection Type
  3. Collection Size

First, a strong collection must have a signature style. Specifically, you want your signature style or design to tell a story especially one that will evolve over time.

Second, your need to decide on the collection type. For instance, you would like your collection to revolve around a single product that sells in multiple color ways and or sizes or both. Furthermore, developing multi-item collections usually revolve around a statement piece or central piece where the common thread will tie all the pieces together within the collection. Ultimately, you would like the main design to influence and inspire. Uniquely, you would like to have a theme.

Third, you want to consider the collection size. Typically, 3 or more is considered a collection. When developing your collection, it is best to aim for a minimum of 12 pieces or looks. Ultimately, the more pieces in your collection, the better exposure and versatility you will have throughout the collection.

Incorporating the need for 3 collections within a strong collection with My Business Journey.

After reviewing the need to create 3 collections within a strong collection, I tried to apply my own company into this dynamic . I also wanted to make sure my collections revolved around the human experience with the Power of 3 dimensions. Which leads me to Envision Dream, LLC’s 3 collections that were created to include imagination, memory and experience. Our collections are still a work in progress as it will evolve over time.

Introduction to My Business Journey Journal Curious Entrepreneur Magic

In order for there to be an introduction to my business journey journal curious entrepreneur magic, I needed a business and more importantly I needed a business idea.  Next, the magic I chose to use for this idea came from a huge mound of dirt. Similar to the mountain of elevation in our Envision Dream design. For instance, this mound of dirt is symbolizing a business idea and how an entrepreneur will use their creative mind to make a profit off selling the dirt. On the other hand, they are taking on all of the risks of losing the dirt and their own money. Basically, balancing the risk of making money and losing money is what an individual must weigh out. This is also true with time. Specifically, time spent and time gained.

Curiosity is what get’s you to research and visualize an opportunity for greatness. However, you will need to understand the 4 types , 7 characteristics and 3 skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur. The magic happens when you decide to take that plunge and go for it. Watch our full video below on Introduction to My Business for more insight.

What is a business idea?

To have a business, I needed to have a business idea. For instance, Envision Dream became the idea I had in my head. Indeed, this was the starting point for my entrepreneurship. To be more specific, a business idea is a starting point for any current or future entrepreneurs. Furthermore, it is essential because it is the beginning of a new life. Above all, this is a lifestyle change because it is the life of your business and the life of your entrepreneurship.

What is an entrepreneur?

Now that I have a business idea, I have decided to start a new lifestyle with entrepreneurship. Specifically, I turned Envision Dream into a Limited Liability Company. Clearly, an entrepreneur is an individual who creates a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards. Ultimately, entrepreneurs who prove to be successful in taking on the risks of a startup are rewarded with profits, and continued growth opportunities

What Are the 4 Types of Entrepreneurship? Anyone interested in starting and running their own business should consider which entrepreneurial model they prefer:

  1. small business
  2. scalable startup
  3. large company
  4. social entrepreneurship

7 Characteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs

  1. Self-Motivation is one of the most important traits of entrepreneurs- you are your biggest critic.
  2. Understand What You Offer. You need to know what you offer, and how it fits into the market.
  3. Take Risks: Weigh out the pros and cons for taking the risks

  5. Basic Money Management Skills and Knowledge

3 Important Skills of a Successful Entrepreneur

  1. Adaptability
  2. Persistence
  3. Hard Work

Yes, adaptability, persistence and hard work are the 3 keys to success in a small business. However, they are also three important skills no matter what your endeavor is. First, we need to be able to adapt thru changes. Remember the tide changes every day. Specifically, low and high tides. Second, we need to be diligently persistent so that we are able to be comfortable with hearing the word “no”. Specifically, you will receive 5 “no’s” before you receive a “yes”. This is why persistence is important. Third, nothing is gained without hard work. It should be noted that nothing is gained and nothing is lost unless, you are willing to push yourself with sweat and tears kind of hard work.

Accomplishments in 2020 with My Business Journey

I said to myself, in order to showcase your accomplishments Sheri, you need to start somewhere!!  And since we are ending the year 2020, I had decided to start reflecting on the accomplishments in 2020 with My Business Journey. Specifically, I compared this year verses last year in 2019. I thought, hey, it’s a great way to analyze all that I have completed and not completed. Furthermore, it helps me plan for the objectives I would like to achieve in order to grow.  My goal with reflecting is to take this information and see what I can improve upon for the upcoming year.

What is the meaning of accomplishment?

How do I know what my accomplishments in 2020 are with my business journey if I don’t know first what the word accomplishment means? I decided to look up the word accomplishment from the online dictionary. It says that an accomplishment is something that has been achieved successfully. It also says that it is the successful achievement of a task or planned objectives. Next, it says that an accomplishment is an activity that a person can do well, typically as a result of study or practice.

What are some examples of personal accomplishments?

As I continued to research the meaning of accomplishments, I learned that some examples of personal achievements can include charitable work, entrepreneurial success, establishing good health, financial stability and obtaining a college degree. Again, these are just examples to help you recognized your own personal achievements as we move forward into 2021.

How can you showcase your accomplishments best?

You can best show your accomplishments in 4 ways. In the video below, I actually tried to apply and showcase my accomplishments by mapping it out, pointing to the goals, keeping it simple and showing room for growth. The key word here is apply. Take what you have accomplished in the past year or years and apply the knowledge and lessons you have learned as you move forward into the upcoming year and future.

  1. Map it out.
  2. Point to goals.
  3. Keep it simple.
  4. Show room for growth.

Reflecting on the year 2020

Recently on Sheri’s Dream Catcher’s Instagram Sip N Think Live Chat held on December 30th, 2020, our topic of discussion was reflecting on the year 2020. First we looked at our comfort zone, where the magic happens and the space between the two. Next we looked at the meaning of 2020. Specifically, is it 2020 vision or in other words equal vision? What do you think?

Reflections on the year 2020
Envision Dream Reflections Back Pack

Here is a list of 2020 reflections discussed on our Sip N Think Chat

  1. Australia Wild Fires that burned a record 47 acres killing more than a billion animals.
  2. NBA Legend Koby Bryant and his 13 old daughter Gianna and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
  3. Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape and sexual assault in New York destroying his career and gave rise to the #metoo movement.
  4. Global Pandemic where the whole world went on house arrest, toilet paper was raided from all the shelves, people we love dying, the economy went to shit, etc.
  5. George Floyd was brutally killed by a police officer which ignited riots and protests around the world bringing the racism and police brutality to light even more than ever before in history.
  6. Murder Hornets were discovered flying around us in the state of Washington
  7. Desert Locusts, the worlds most devastating pests were swarming in large numbers in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia, Eritrea, India, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
  8. Presidential Election 2020: Trump vs. Biden or was it Blue vs. Red?
  9. Wild Weather where in 141 years of climate records, we only had 3 states-Alaska, Hawaii and North Dakota-that weren’t apart of the billion-dollar weather disaster. Record Breaking 30 named storms during the Hurricane Season where meteorologists had to use letters from the Greek Alphabet to identify storms because they were running out of prepared names.
  10. The Great Conjunction between 2 planets: Jupitar and Saturn. They say this great phenomena, Bethlehem Star or Christmas Star happened for the first time in 800 years. So on December 21, 2020 about 45 minutes after sunset, Jupitar and Saturn appeared just one-tenth of a degree apart, according to NASA.

A Dream You Want To Achieve In The Future

A dream you want to achieve in the future begins with the process of writing your own thoughts and ideas down onto a piece of paper. For instance, have you ever heard someone say “keep a journal next to your bed”? Well, I have plenty of times. What’s the reasoning behind it? Well, they say that if you journal about your dreams, you are more likely to turn those thoughts and ideas into a reality. Remember a dream is just a dream until you’ve given commitment to the vision you created in your mind. The execution of that dream becomes a goal to achieve once you put a date to it.

A dream to achieve
A Dream You Want to Achieve

Why Must We Create A Dream Plan?

For starters, you do not have to do anything. As a result of doing nothing, it means you have achieved nothing. Am I correct? As a matter of fact, most of the time I tend to use my vision to focus on the dreams I’ve envisioned for myself to achieve. By the same token, to continue to move forward with my dream process, I tend to ask myself questions. For example, “How am I going to achieve my dream?”

Evaluation of the current situation

  • Where am I at now?
  • Where do I see myself in anther 1, 3 or 5 years from now?
  • What resources do I have available to me now?
  • What can I do on my own?
  • What do I need assistance with?
  • Who can I learn from?
  • Who can I rely on?
  • How will I take my first step?

Research, Research, Research!!!

Indeed, you have started the process of your dream foundation. Another way to look at your foundation is to think of it as creating building blocks that will formulate your plan which is connected to your goal that links to the dream you want to achieve.

A dream to achieve
What are you thoughts and Ideas?

A Plan is only a plan similar to a dream is only a dream.

In order for the dream to materialize we must put forth “Action“. For instance, sitting in a dark room visualizing our dreams is only going to produce the visualizing. Not only is “Execution” vital to achieving our dreams but “Action” also is a key component to activating our dreams into a reality. For example, a football team doesn’t win by standing on the field waiting for the referee to scream touch down. Likewise, a basketball player doesn’t stand on the court holding the ball in his hands saying “did you see that shot I didn’t take”?

A dream to achieve
Create Your Own Vision with a Vision Board

Always Try. If at first I don’t succeed, try, try again.

For this reason, I believe it is imperative to at least Try. As a consequence to our actions, it will either make or break us. Such as, not taking action will leave us at square one, just visualizing. The choice is yours really. You take the direction that is best for you, as it should be.
