Guts and a sense of humor. Both of those have seen me through 15 years of being an entrepreneur. You have to have the guts to ask for the sale and a sense of humor when things get hairy. Good luck to you!
I hate to break it to you but you ARE your brand, especially in this day and age. Go join Toastmasters and get out of your protective shell. Take pride in what you do and see it as a calling. Once you get over yourself, there's no turning back. We're all human and no one is perfect. Stop putting pressure on yourself to be perfect and you'll do just fine in front of an audience.
I've been in business for 20 years. I use a pre-paid service. I thought my husband was crazy for signing us up years ago but its been the best money I've ever spent. I once paid a lawyer $1500 to do my contracts which was ridiculous. These people charge about $39 per month and you have unlimited access to their business lawyers. Shannon has personally helped me collect money from clients, create contracts and agreements and also helped me navigate my husbands will after his death. I didn't have to go to probate because of her. She also helped me transfer the company into my full ownership. For more info go to www.desireecolonna.com. I wouldn't hire anyone else.
Very knowledgable, on the ball and "knows her stuff". Was also lovely to talk to!
“Competence, cutting edge web design, style, and 100% customer interests at heart – these are the words that I would choose to describe Desiree and her Bella Web Design team. As a marketing leader, I’ve used many service vendors before, but Desiree and her crew stand out among them all. Desiree’s ability to take a business brand and successfully transform it onto web is absolutely amazing. She’s easy and fun to work with. Her follow up and responsiveness are fantastic. I would highly recommend Bella Web Design as a web design partner to businesses of any size looking to develop great company websites and establish their effective presence on the Internet.”
Desiree is a pleasure to work with and for - a company that cares about it's employees, contractors and clients and is willing to go the extra mile.
Desiree is "energy". Smart and agressive, she is a valuable resource for for web and social media development. Couple that with a can-do attitude and nice personality - she is tops in my book!
Desiree is such a powerful role model for setting a vision for success and attaining your goals. Her drive and energy are relentless, and her positive attitude is contagious. She has been such a pleasure to work with. If you want to experience success, Desiree will help you make it happen.
I highly recommend Desiree Scales and Bella Web Design.
Desiree has designed numerous e-commerce based websites for various hosting customers at AppliedI.net and we never have a problem recommending her when a client seeks a professional, quality website.
Desiree has a very strong knowledge of the Internet, Internet Commerce and general business information. I would highly recommend anyone seeking a web developer for an ecommerce website to speak with Desiree, I believe you will be quite impressed with both her knowledge and quality.

Desiree and her team were amazing when it came to helping me design my website. I had a concept in mind so I described the look and feel just once. She got it right the very first time! Many of my new clients have commented on how well the website communicated my services and that's why they called me. I have recommended Bella Web Design to many people and will continue to do so!
