Linda C Smith’s Summary
As of summer of 2009 I have taken the bold step to make my passion, gifts and experience as an artist into my primary business. The skills learned in the direct selling industry will be applied as I see a working artist as a direct seller. My current artistic medium is mosaic; I am developing a blog and sales platform from which to launch this business.
I have a successful business blog and will continue to use it to share my expertise in all things small and home-based business.
My love of writing is being expressed by the medium of blogging...I have started a fiction novel on blog...it is being written "organically" post-by-post.
