Bio:

I strive to live life to the fullest. No matter what. I have grown into myself through my love for Jesus and HIS LOVE FOR ME. Art, motherhood, business, creativity and yoga are the cherished vehicles for this deepening. Life can be FULL, JUICY, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSE FILLED, LOVELY. I want to help you come to your fullest life. I create workbooks, ecourses and workshops that chronicle my change and growth and offer you ways to find out what YOUR FULLEST life will be.

QUESTION: Do you have a business mentor? What value does that offer to your experiences as a business owner?

Robin's ANSWER:

This is one of the things I am going to put in place in 2012. I do not have an up close and personal mentor but I know that my business needs one. Over the last few years I have been relying on business books and ecourses – all good stuff and extremely valuable information was shared.

The problem is I think there comes a point in time where you hit a crossroads. You need to connect with someone face to face and help craft goals that you are terrified of and yet someone is looking you dead in the eye and says 'you got this- go for it!"

I think we all need that. I know many of the traits of the entrepreneur have to do with drive and tenacity and willingness to go with that inner knowing. But when that is not the issue anymore but it is more of a 'what's next' that you are looking at… well I believe that is when you cannot continue on as a lone wolf.

Years in Business: Hula Dog Designs by Shari Sherman, was started in 2010. Prior to that, I created art as Island Girl Studio, LLC since 2004.

Bio:

I make Happy Art for Happy People! I love that thrill of getting an idea and making it come to life. I love bright colors (especially turquoise!), strong simple lines, and adding words of inspiration to my art. I like mixed-media because it is limitless, but painting will always be my first love. My subject matter frequently includes dogs, books, and anything related to the ocean/beach, because that is what I LOVE. People often smile when they see my art, and I feel like I am doing my part in making the world a happier place!

QUESTION: Do you have a business mentor? What value does that offer to your experiences as a business owner?

Shari's ANSWER:

I don't have a traditional business mentor, but I can see the tremendous value in having someone guide you...to help you avoid some speedbumps, as well as recognize opportunities that you might not see. Maybe that will manifest for me in the future as I begin to explore the world of art licensing. What I do have is an amazing group of creative women that I belong to called the VoGs. They offer me support, guidance, and encouragement to keep pursing my creative dream.

Shari is currently working on a book project called, The Inklings. For more information on this and other fun stuff, like her page, Hula Dog Designs on Facebook or check out her blog, Dashboard Hula.
