Morning all...two post so far this week. Can I keep my New Year's resolution in tact?? I'll try to - promise!
Have I told you yet about Share the Dream? Well it's about time I did then as this is something I'm really proud of.
Two years ago, Claire and I were talking very casually, as you do, about what we were going to do with our wedding dresses and we both felt that they were something we didn't want to keep as we wouldn't be wearing them again and had our special photos and memories. So we looked for somewhere to sell them, didn't want to use an auction site and the other second hand wedding dress sites out there were not to our taste. So after a cheeky glass of wine in the pub after work the following Friday, we decided to set up our own and hence the formation of Share the Dream - www.sharethedream.net
The site has been live now for over two years and we love the fact that not only is it an online business but more so we help make people's dreams come true and also allow former brides to recoup some of their money back. After all, how much is the avergae wedding these days, £17k?
We received this testmonial this week and I wanted to share it with you as I think this sums up the site perfectly.....
I just had to drop you a line and say how wonderful I think your website is. I had been searching for over a year for a particular gown, pre-loved, as there was no way I could afford it new. I had posted adverts on all the dress selling websites and searched them almost daily to see if anyone had posted 'my' gown in my size. It never happened. Then one day last week - when to be honest I had almost given up hope of ever getting my dream dress - I thought I would give it one last search. Your site was the first of the many I had in my saved list that I visited and there it was! My dress in my size! I was jumping up and down! I contacted the seller by email and by phone and the transaction went so smoothly that my dress arrived yesterday morning - less than week from when I saw it! It is everything I hoped for and I just want to say thank you for helping me find my dream dress. :-)

What more can I say, we felt such a warm glow when we received this and one of my aims this year was to give something back in a way that was appropriate to me and my business/personal circumstances. I think I'm getting there with having online businesses that of course generate revenue for us but also give something back and offer a service that people need.
What do you think? Feel free to email me with your thoughts anytime......!

Most of you will know that one of my business 'babies' was an internet based business called Share the Dream, which was my first dip of the toes into the world of internet marketing and passive income. Well, I'm delighted to say (and also a little bit sad as well...) that Claire and I made the decision to focus on our two core recruitment businesses and we have therefore sold 'Share the Dream'............
