Welcome to the blog of Julie Moore Rapacki of Polish Your Star. This is my first entry and my first attempt at using this medium. I'm eager to start this adventure and look forward to hearing from you.
Here I go...We've moved into our new office at 6800 France Avenue South, Edina, MN. I'm looking forward to our open house - tentatively schedule for 10/17 and everything being in line for that to happen. It's been a rocky start - our furniture wasn't delivered and scheduled and then when it arrived it was missing pieces, panels, table legs and chairs. Thank goodness I'm a pretty flexible and patient person. My new friend Julie Ann Segal of Metro Interiors will be coming over Friday to help us with a design consultation before we invest in more pieces.
Our Friends of Polish Your Star lunch begins in a couple of hours over at the Women's Club. In the meantime, I'm busy making sure my current clients get the information they need to succeed while working on developing new business. I knew it would be a challenge to go direct to my customers - women - rather than their employers. The most difficult part is reaching them when they're working all the time, getting another degree, caring for their children or parents, and/or traveling the world and don't think they "should" need help or that they can spend money on a coach. Oh, how I wish I'd had a resource like Polish Your Star available when I was working in corporate America. As it was, I had to search out books and online coaching in Texas to help me manage it all. Thanks, Carol!
Enough, I have to get back to work. Look forward to seeing you at future events. News to follow.

Good luck on your new blog, and as you grow your business! I am just considering adding two blogs to my business, Brigham Group Staffing (www.brighamgroup.com). We would target one blog to applicants for temporary or professional jobs, and another to potential clients.
Julie, I hope yours goes well, as well as the move to your new office.
I also know that you are a fellow NAWBO-MN member. I'm on the NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) Board, and I know you put in a lot of volunteer hours, as well. Thanks!
Thanks for commenting and your well wishes, Jennifer! I hope you will be the first of many. I'm just getting started at this so any tips are appreciated. Thanks for all you do with the NAWBO board and congratulations on your 2007 NAWBO-MN award! Julie
