Beach Glass Treasure

Thank you for continuing the mixed media artists series with this third installation! As I left off earlier rather quickly I am here to continue! I began writing about something called a Value Proposition Harvest earlier. It can be called many things but for the sake of understanding what this is, think of it as two main things: 1.) What you want people to associate your online and in-person presence with; 2.) Only using a few words (that are not your business name, tagline, or your own name), one symbol and two colors This is going to be based on the Business Model Canvas that was in the first series.

Needless to say, I have since made a visit in person and I understand now why they gave the "run around"....they are not even an exclusive art gallery as their website implied. -This post contains affiliate links.

Does the title really make a difference? Aren't entrepreneurs one in the same as solopreneurs? I'm going to share with you how these two are different because I believe that this is invaluable information could benefit your business decisions, improve professional communications, and leverage networking abilities. -The post that you are reading right now contains affiliate links.
