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.

Five Basic Tips for Overcoming Startup Challenges Prior to the Covid Shut Down

The great part about asking Sara these questions was that I was very intrigued with how she was able to answer all of them. What I have experienced in my own journey, is that when starting a business, someone will ask me “Well what is Envision Dream, LLC?” or “Why are you doing Sheri’s Dream Catcher?” They seem pretty basic, right! I decided to challenge Sara in our interview and so I did some research on the internet. Below are just 5 of the basic tips I chose to ask Sara in our interview.

  • 1. Do you know your Company’s Culture?
  • 2. Do you understand your Financial Issues?
  • 3. Are you constantly Making Yourself Known?
  • 4. Are you recruiting well?
  • 5. Will you continue to Nourish Customer Loyalty?

Envision Your Look

Capture Your Style

Roam Wild and Free

Life is full of obstacles. It is up to us as individuals to navigate our way thru these obstacles.  Envision, Capture and Roam wild and free on your own personal journey. 

what We learned from our discussion on overcoming business challenges

When we are sipping, thinking and chatting about business ideas or our niche, we learned that it might be a good idea to have a plan in place before starting a business. Specifically, A SMART Plan. This simple tool can be used as a stepping stone for your goal setting and turning them into an actionable plan.

S– Specific

M– Measurable

A-Achievable (attainable)

R-Relevant (Realistic)

T-Time-based Goals

Another take away we received from our interview with entrepreneur Sara Loretta, were 3 distinctive advantages for overcoming new business challenges and then the added impact of covid. For instance, in order for Sara to adjust to the ever changing regulations and restrictions due to covid, she really needed to be creative and step out of the box to keep her business alive. Her words of wisdom that she shared are:

  1. Retention
  2. Word of Mouth
  3. Connection

First, with retention, Sara had to live stream for her current clients. Particularly, this meant learning how to teach in front of a camera, film herself and upload videos to the mind body platform. Second, with word of mouth, Sara used social media as a way to spread the news about her business operations. For example, she needed to let her clients know that she was open for outside spin classes. Additionally, this gave her an advantage over her competitors and allowed her to reach new potential clients. Next, with connection, Sara made sure to stay community driven. Especially, since her company’s culture is community focused. Besides, she really wants to do what ever she can to help her local community stay connected and healthy.

The King’s Preserve

The King's Preserve

Nature

Recently I took a walk at The King’s Preserve located in Saunderstown, RI. This is a 3 mile walk/hike minimum thru nature. You can go around and around depending on the direction and trail you take. It was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed getting out into the fresh air.

The King's Preserve
Into the deep part of the enchanted forest

Finding yourself in The King’s Preserve?

While walking thru the hood of the woods or as some might say the enchanted forest, I used this opportunity to clear my mind. For instance, I did this by thinking and talking about different things going on in my life. Specifically, I really looked deep into who I am and who I have been as a person. In conclusion, I have realized that Sheri the individual has been weighed down by so many obstacles, pain and negative energy. When I looked deep within myself, I could see and feel the beautiful person that I have always been and wanted to be. Furthermore, I believe my outer shell has been so thick due to all the responsibilities I carry alone. Basically, I use my outer shell to shield me from all the crap I face in reality.

Obstacles in the kings preserve
I literally said “what kind of obstacle is that” LOL

Obstacles keep crossing our paths in The King’s Preserve

Of course there were obstacles along the trail. In life we have obstacles. The question is what do we do when we come to an obstacle? Do we stop and turn back? Do we figure out a way to get through these obstacles? What ways can we move forward if an obstacle or obstacles are in our way. We will have to look at each obstacle one at a time. We have to agree that we are committed to following our path. As above so below. Since we do not choose to go under or can’t fit under the obstacle we can go around the obstacle or above the obstacle.

How do we go above the obstacle? One way is thru our Faith. Where there is hope there is faith. I feel we are guided in one way or another. Why is that? Maybe we are to continue practicing on each other so that we can show others how to get thru obstacles. I don’t know, what do you think? There is no right or wrong answer, I agree to that one. We are stuck to each other so we need to figure out how to be or get along together. Do you feel the good outweighs the bad? or is it that the bad outweighs the good?

Balancing act in The King’s Preserve

Climbing over rocks or broken tree limbs require some kind of balancing act. In fact, not every day is going to be bright and sunny. Moreover, not everyday is going to be perfect. We have to be committed to being able to withstand the downfalls. Kinda like the song “Can you stand the rain” by one of my favorite groups New Edition. Maybe the answer to finding balance means that it must come with compromise. Specifically, I am not an expert at balancing. For instance, my scale either dips all the way to the bad or all the way to the good. Consequently, I mean just being able to balance work and family life is a struggle all in itself. Then in conclusion, maybe part of my journey is finding balance.

Two trees grounded near water..hmmm Water is LIfe

Finding unconditional love in The King’s Preserve

What I really found going deep within The King’s Preserve is unconditional love. Becoming one with myself and loving it too. Looking at the path I was on, the directions I was taking, the balancing acts I had to do climbing over things and the fresh air to help me clear my mind. It was like I took all the weight off my shoulders and just focused on me. I was happy and carefree for that moment in time. Actually the happy and carefree feeling lasted all day and night. I even slept like a baby. I do believe my guides were with me too.

Obstacles to help you find your way

Yes, I saw some stone walls along the way, but they did not stop me. I had to walk thru the muddy waters and even got stuck a few times. Crossed over some bridges and ripped my way through the prickers. Made it to a large body of water at the bottom of the kingdom. Got lost in the woods and just had so many laughs. All and All it was a great experience, I am humbled to have been able to explore and discover nature’s wonders. The best part is being able to share it with you.
