Real Story:Julie Vander Pol
Question: What is your name?
Answer: Julie Vander Pol
Question: Can you tell us about your business? Please include the business name, and the website url. How long have you been in business?
Answer: Remembered Moments and have been in business since 2004.
Question: What made you decide to work from home? Was there a turning point in your life that made you seek being a business owner? Please share your story.
Answer: I have always wanted to work from home and then once we decided to have children I wanted to do that even more. There was not one specific moment or turning point, I think being an entrepreneur has always been a part of me.
Question: What is the 1 hurdle that you have had to overcome or are trying to over come at this minute?
Answer: making people realize that this is not just a hobby it is a business. Many people just think it is an extension of my hobby to make a ‘little extra money’; when in fact it is a full fledged business with all of the strings attached (marketing, finances, registrations, licenses, etc.)
An extension of this hurdle is that many people that want to do this don’t think (or want) to register as a business thus undercutting me (and other business owners, and the government) and that is in fact illegal and fraud.
Any last thoughts or comments that you would like our readers to know?
I love my job and love to encourage others to preserve their memories for future generations.
