✨ 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! 🎉

Greetings from Atlanta, GA!  My name is Rosa Thurnher and my business partner Jarina Naone & I own several concepts under the same roof:

El Ponce is a Mexican Restaurant with a great patio https://elponce.square.site/

Tiendita is a Fair Trade boutique carrying exclusively Indigenous and Women owned brands.  It was created during the pandemic in place of our shuttered small dive bar, El Bar, that was our bread and butter for 15 years. https://www.tienditaelponce.com/

La Palapa- a members club for private events and pop ups, also created during the pandemic by converting parking area into patio space.  Hoping to get some traction in the fall when weather cools down and hopefully we are able to staff!

 

I am a Mom to a 13 year old, and huge fan of Atlanta United and being a good human.  Happy to be in a space with all these bosses!

Welcome @elponce and thank you for sharing your websites. I LOVE the colors/branding for La Tiendita - and I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to hear the story behind the logo. If you have time to share head over to this thread: Share Your Business Logo.

Hi everyone! My name is Christine and I have an online store here SerenityCreated which I opened a few months ago. My shop has unique sublimated items I design myself like mugs, pillowcases, t-shirts, tumblers, also vinyl on just about any substrate. It has been really hard to make a sale here so Im happy to have support as most of my customers whom are family and friends come from Social Media but I would love new customers to visit my website.  Im interested to see and cheer you all on as my business was long overdue but it took an injury at work to make me realize I needed to do what I love despite my new disability. Thank you for this thread and for sharing all your wonderful accomplishments the past year was tough and currently not as we once knew but creating our new paths after it all makes it all worth it. We got this!!

Hi all and thank you for the welcome into the group!  I have been making jewelry for years and have decided (after retirement) to start an on-line presence.  I am using Square as my online store and inventory management.  My website address is https://www.mjskiversdesigns.com.  I am also on Facebook and Instagram at https://www.facebook.com/mjskiversdesigns and https://www.instagra.com/mjskiversdesigns, respectively.

 

I look forward to being a part of this group of what appears to be an amazing group of extremely talented WOMEN!! 🙂

Hi all! My name is Bella and I'm sending a warm greeting from sunny Florida, although traditionally you can find me attending college in NY - I'm headed into my final year of undergrad. I started my small business Paper Pigeon this past March. I sell fully online and provide prompted collaborative journals to pairs. It all started with a journal I mailed back and forth with my LDR boyfriend when COVID began. I'm looking forward to connecting with the members of this group and learning from your experiences!
