I just wanted to give you praise for creating a very informative bio guide and doing it with great positive energy. It made me happier just watching "you" give the presentation! I'm writing a short bio for my real estate website and this was just perfect!

I have been writing my Bio for a teaching job and ... after watching your video, i realized that maybe i'm doing something wrong ?? I'm writing it like a story .. like when and how my passion for teaching started !! I'm basically telling the story of life ( but just what's related to my work ) ...

Thanks this has been the most help video on a short bio. 5 tips put it under one umbrella when I was all over the place. One thing I need immediate help with. I need to change my business name. I’ve done it once before a long time ago. I’m actually Lawson people right now. My company name is the farmhouse woman and I’ve had too many people say that’s a little bit too close to Pioneer Woman and I make and create several things and seals how do you keep your name of your business Positive and makes it stand out. Do I use my own name or do I try to make a name for what I make? I could really use some help as you can see I’m a little scrambled. I am doing this all by myself. I’ve been running a business for 15 years and, but I’m not getting up there. You know the ladder I know that I can do better but every time I add a different items it doesn’t get much looked at so used to thing that I have offered. How do I make this change over one thing to making several creations, or is it best to stick with just one thing I get all kinds of people tell me what they should be doing. It would be nice if you can help me.
