325 Million--What Would You Do?

My husband just sent me a text that the Texas MegaMillion Lottery is up to $325,000,000! That got me thinking about what that would buy me. Its not the expensive toys and excessively priced jewelry, clothes and cars, but the freedom I keep talking about. I want the kids to go to school, and for my parents to be able to retire and for my husband and I to enjoy each other and to do the things that every couple dream of, like travel and build a dream house and own a business! But if the lottery doesn't come through, can I reach those goals one at a time? Can you put kids through college by being really dedicated to a change jar? Can you buy some cheap houses and be a land lord in lue of a 401K? What's the answer and when I find out, do I have the smarts to pull it off? I am working on so many different things and I just want a simple outcome...I want to be free of financial concerns, and for my family to be free, as well. I didn't know what this blog was going to be when I started it, but now I do--its a journey, about what works and what doesn't. And if I pick up $325,000,000 along the way, I will hire someone to let you all know about it. :) For those that follow me, please know that I am legit and I am talented and if there is a need by you or someone you know for marketing, sales, public relations, event planning, project management or interior design (whew!), I'm your gal! I'm your passionate, driven, over the top gal! Keep me in mind! Thanks!...(OH! And I have pictures! I have done over 300 weddings, and decorated 4 homes...and I have pictures! Can't believe I almost forgot that!)

There's No Need to Fear...


I have worked for over 15 years in the hospitality industry, and I loved every minute of it! The best part of it was working with the planners, be they planning events or corporate meetings or weddings! I loved the moment when I saw their vision and we could be excited together. I have found that I spend hours with a client, giving them all of my best ideas on promoting their event. My bosses only want me to promote my hotels....so, "Simply Sold" is born! I want to take your idea, your event, your products to the next level. When I have spoken to clients about blogs, video uploads, twitter--there's always a look of panic on there face. Panic turns to interest when I share the statistics of online presence as it correlates to profit, but, inevitably when I see them months later, they say they haven't gotten into all that yet...just too overwhelming and not enough time. So...HERE I AM! Let's do this! Let's get excited about what your doing again! I don't know if what I'm offering is PR, Marketing or Sales, but I will tell you this-we will build a simple flash point report that shows where your sales/participants are now and if in 6 months, I haven't increased it by 25%, don't pay me. Simple as that. Ok...I'm excited now, hurry up and call me!
