Germaine, upon learning that I am running my own business now, has volunteered to “work” for me after school.

How cute is that? Heh.

On a more sombre note, I had not been spending a lot of time with the children and that is going to change very soon. They are having their school hols next week and we will be going to Sentosa and Bollywood Veggies Farm for some major chilling out. We will also be painting in the studio and making customized pencil cases..

Now that the set up and groundwork are all in place, and work documentations (press releases, promotional blurbs etc) to be updated as and when, the only time I need would be:

• fashion buying
• the inventory photography
• styling for photo shoot
• photo-editing
• measurements
• inventory branding and listing
• customer data mining and record management
• sales management
• accounts receivables
• back end coordination like packing and mailing
• profit reports
• product variance reports
• ad hoc marketing communications

A fair mishmash of brand management, marcom and operations.

We went to buy a printer for the business (never had to have a printer at home before, there simply wasn’t a need..) and print some name cards at the same time. I was in a knot over the title besides the obvious of business name, address and contacts.. I rejected CEO (!), CMO, business owner and boss (! again!!) Hahahaha!! Nothing wrong with these titles of course, it’s simply me who cannot get it over with.. I finally decided on “Brand Manager” who seems befitting of the above job scope.

Perhaps one day, when I can read a set of Monthly Accounts without a glazed over look on my face, then… I might consider the title of CEO.

Bwahahaahahahhaa!!!!
