How Vai Athletica came to life. The realistic ins and outs of starting a small business.

Where Does The Time Go?

      I can’t believe that it is already August of 2021, where has the time gone?  Between working a full-time job, raising a 5-year-old, rescuing a 7-month-old German Shepherd,  maintaining a household, and running a small start-up business I can see why time flies by!  It’s almost impossible to manage Marketing, Social Media, bookkeeping, networking, blogging, […]

Starting Fresh

    Okay, so I titled this blog ”starting fresh” for the obvious of needing and wanting a fresh start.  After having a 4-hour strategic marketing meeting with Louis from Empath my first move is to revamp the front page of Vai Athletica’s  website.  He has not been the only one but will be the last one […]

Staying Active

     Wow, it has literally been over 2 months since I have done a ”Starting Vai” blog.  This blog category was created to basically chart the goings-on/success of Vai Athletica.  With a heavy heart I have not had much to say!  The world is still facing a Pandemic, people and businesses are just trying to hang […]

Marketing

  Hi all, Well what can I say?  As a new ecommerce small business owner I have mixed feelings about the state of the world, business wise.  On one hand I am grateful for not being a brick and mortar with very low overhead.  Yet on the other hand I am definitely at a stand still […]

Surviving The Pandemic

   Wow, It still feels all so serial.  It’s been about four weeks of shelter in place, with the news and restrictions worsening every week.  From previous blogs ya all know I am a full time RVT ( Registered Veterinarian Technician) and so with having an essential job I am still full time, along with living […]

Women Owned Business

  So let’s talk about COVID-19!  Just Kidding, I’m definitely going to take a back seat on this one for blogs.  There is more than enough discussion on this subject circling every aspect of our lives, it has even affected households toilet paper supply! What the heck!  But seriously, I had an amazing event booked right […]

How’s It Going

   Well it’s been awhile since I have done a Starting Vai blog.  I did not feel like I had enough to talk about on this topic in it’s last rotation so I skipped it.  I do not want to skip it again and I have mixed feelings that I don’t mind sharing with everyone. So […]

Marketing Choices/Decisions

   Ok, so the whole point of creating this blog category of Starting Vai was to keep track and document the progress and steps of this brand new start up company.  Some main recent points are  •Inventory came in on 11/5/2019 •Sarah and I counted and organized the inventory into the office (literally took over 12hours)  […]

Time To Wake Up

 Hello Vai Athletica family.  It is my pleasure to say we are officially in business!  Our inventory arrived 11/5/2019! The Dream is a reality so it’s time to Wake Up and start selling some bras! We had a nice pre order list that Sarah got mailed out right away and now we have a meet […]

Dream Into Reality

The first few blogs on starting Vai was titled The Dream, but then I strayed away from that title.  Not intentional it just happened that way. To be truthful about it I have never blogged or owned a business or managed a website (not that I’m running the website with ours currently) or kept financial […]
