✨ Welcome + Introduce Yourself

You made it! Welcome to Square’s togetHER community 🙌

 

Our purpose is for you to find connection, advice, encouragement, and community with fellow women in business and allies. This community is built for and by you, so make it your own.

First step: Introduce yourself in this thread! We want to get to know each and everyone one of you here. Stuck on how you should introduce yourself to other lady bosses? Here are some things to cover: Tell us who you are, what you’re working on and what type of business you own. If you have an online store, feel free to share with the group!

 

Our guiding principles

We all want productive, friendly conversation propelling us forward. Keep these in mind when posting:

  • Share actionable information/material. We want this group to provide advice and actions that you can implement immediately to improve your business. Give context when asking questions and be detailed in your responses. Post about the difficult things so we can figure out an answer together as a community.
  • Assume good intent. Tone on the internet is very difficult to convey. Let’s assume that everyone posting here comes from a place of good intention, so we can do the same. If anything feels amiss, please report it to our moderators.
  • Treat your fellow sellers with respect. We all come from different backgrounds and may not always agree with one another, but we can always treat each other with respect. We have a zero tolerance policy for harassment or abuse of sellers or moderators because this should be a happy place on the internet.
  • No spam or excessive self promotion. We’ve all seen those groups with the same people posting the same thing every single day. Let’s respect each other’s time and refrain from this type of excessive self promotion. But, by all means, when it’s time to celebrate you, shout that accomplishment from the rooftops!

 

Can’t wait to see your posts and celebrate you! 🎉

Sounds delicious @robsrockindogs! Do you have a favorite dog/condiment combo? I can see your business booming during the summer sports seasons.

Our most popular dog is probably the Punk Rocker, it is a bacon wrapped smoked sausage topped with house-made grilled pineapple salsa, teriyaki sauce and grilled jalapenos.

Two saavy business ladies in our group @themissinglink7 🙂 That's great your daughter has her own business too and love the name!

 

@Horsenround creates chainmail armor, so it's cool to see you creating jewelry out of the material. How'd you get into this type of business?

@katieand thank you! It started when I was really little helping my brother at the Renaissance fair and I have just taken it it over and evolved more to the jewelry side. I have made jewelry for probably 30 plus years and been running the actual business part of it and starting the missing link for a little over 20. I now have a traveling store which the inside is an actual shop I will attach the picture.FB_IMG_1529585946116.jpg

Love that your daughter has the entrepreneur bug so early in life.  She is sure to be a huge success!  I used to make soaps (hot and cold process) for sale.  It's a labor of love for sure!  Do you have a site for your jewelry?  I couldn't really make out the individual pieces in the pic.

Thanks so much! I do custom art and have some ready to ship items.  I use the title of the book to influence the design choice.

Good Morning from NC.  My name is Cathy and I own and operate "Oma's Coffee Shop and Marketplace"  We have been open for a little over 2 years now.  The marketplace is local vendors selling their crafts and goods.  We also sell local/NC products like jams, sauces, pickles ect.  We are still growing and just did a remodel to incoorperate a open air cooler to sell fruit boxes, deli sandwiches and salads.  We will also be selling homemade fudges soon. 

Thank you for the invite and look forward to meeting other ladies and supporting and getting support from everyone....networking together.
