Interview with Venus Williams

Venus Williams on living life as an EleVen
This quote from Venus made my heart sing. I am totally living my life as an EleVen from now on and I’m sure after reading it and listening to her talk about her life, you will too.
It’s time to start living the life you WANT to live, not the one you are settling for.
“The name EleVen represents how I strive to live every day — that is, without limits. In our world, ‘10’ is just another number, but EleVen is a lifestyle – it’s about challenging your status quo, embracing positive change, and pushing beyond whatever is holding you back from living your ideal life. We all have stories about reaching seemingly impossible goals, especially in the face of fear and doubt. Being an EleVen is about making those stories the rule, rather than the exception.” – Venus Williams
Did you know Venus has a clothing line? It’s a super cute line of activewear that is all designed and manufactured in the USA. Check it out here: https://elevenbyvenuswilliams.com/
Join me and Venus as she candidly chats with me about how the discipline of playing tennis has helped her be a better entrepreneur. Venus spent eight years going to Fashion Design School as she could only spend one quarter per year at school because of her tough tennis schedule.
Bravo to her!
Luckily for her, while on the road she can easily connect with her office and stay on top of everything!

On October 31, 1994, a 14-year-old girl, with her hair styled in beads and full of confidence, strode onto the court at Bank of the West Classic in California and transformed tennis.
Today, Venus Williams is one of the most accomplished women in the history of the sport. Having been called “the best athlete in the history of women’s tennis” by Sports Illustrated, Venus has been ranked number one in the world in singles three times in her career, and has captured seven Grand Slam titles, five Wimbledon championships and five Olympic medals — and counting.
Along the way, Venus has also distinguished herself as a student who has pursued higher education, an entrepreneur who has launched and helms two businesses, a designer who creates fashion and interior designs, an investor whose ventures include becoming with her sister the first African-American women to buy shares of an NFL team, an author who has written a best-selling book, and an advocate for gender and pay equality.
The most amazing part is that Venus Williams is just getting started. Click here to read her full story

Pitch holiday gift guides
The time is approaching to pitch holiday gift guides over the next 6-8 weeks.
I know, I know, it’s only June, but Holiday Gift Guide submissions are starting now…….so get on it sister, as it will end in July.
This can be a great way to get into magazines that might be more challenging for you in the “everyday” editorial world.
Gift guides often put in items that appeal to their audience, but might not have a good place in the monthly magazines.
Magazines try to appeal to a broad audience with the holiday gift guides, so I would suggest being bold about your choices. Here is what you’ll want to do…

Growing up in the eyewear business, he visited factories around the globe with his father from an early age and got to learn and understand the world of manufacturing. Chad and his partners started DIFF by selling sunglasses at music festivals to get a sense of their target market before doing the deep dive into creating and manufacturing their own unique brand.
Once they created their own designs, getting products to celebrities and the media was not too difficult and the brand quickly took off. Leveraging the media exposure, they were able to build an online business that has donated over 1 million pair of glasses to those in need.

How to know if you have a hero or a zero by testing your product before you invest heavily in producing it. Don't keep it a secret, show it to get feedback.Did I ever share that my Grandmother made this coat for JFK Jr.? Jackie was a frequent shopper in her store in New York City. This ended up on the cover of LIFE magazine. Her shop became famous.

Join me and Lisa Ascolese, The Inventress for an enlightening episode on how to think more broadly about your product line so that you can get into more stores and more magazines. In this episode we share ideas on how to think differently about your line. For example, if you make a skincare line and have a serum or oil based product, consider pitching to mountain resorts where the air is dryer and women need more moisture in the products they purchase.You can take this idea a step further by pitching to wellness magazines and local magazines (in the resort town) as they are always looking for products that solve a problem. Many creators think to narrowly and don’t see a bigger pitch for themselves. Take a look at your line and see how you can spin it into a new category, or a new sales channel.
