Peekaboo Beans Builds Kidswear Brand With Direct Sales

 
Before she became the owner of Peekaboo Beans, a Canadian kidswear business, Traci Costa worked as an investment banker for 10 years, toiling long hours, making deals every day. It all changed when she had her first child in the early 2000s and left her banking career to look after her daughter. She created Peekaboo Beans in 2006 after noticing the clothes she bought for her vivacious child were hindering her from moving around freely. The buttons and snaps dug into her little waist and limbs, and prevented her from unadulterated play. It gave Costa the idea to construct better clothing for children.
Costa designed her colourful line of kids­wear to be versatile. The pants and sleeves have zippers so they can easily come off, and if there’s an accidental spill, parents can just

DSA President Responds To Seeking Alpha Post

 
American Direct Selling Association (DSA) President Joseph Mariano responds to a post by Bill Keep on stock market insights and analysis site Seeking Alpha. 
As a platform for investment research, the opinions presented via Seeking Alpha inform countless decisions, large and small, taken by corporations, government and the public.  It is therefore important that contributors act in good faith to get the facts right.
I am concerned that Bill Keep, one of your frequent contributors, has chosen to co-opt Seeking Alpha into a mouthpiece for attacks against direct selling, one of the oldest ways that Americans choose to work independently, typically on a part-time basis.  By showing blatant disregard for the facts about DSA and direct selling with little to no accountability for his mis-statements, Keep diminishes Seeking Alpha’s credibility and jeopardizes the ability

Ambit Energy’s Vincent Polidori Shares His Success Story

Vincent Polidori from Ambit Energy shares his story; 
I started my Ambit Energy business back in the Summer of 2007 a couple of months after the NYC launch for electric. I had been introduced to the opportunity from a childhood friend that I trusted and like me was a Financial Adviser. In addition I also maintained a Real Estate license part time so between the 2 businesses I was working 70 + hr weeks.
To be honest I really didn’t know how I could fit in or make time for a third career so on blind faith and with the understanding that this was a 100% necessity based service, I jumped in. I did what most new network marketers do and that’s tell everyone I knew starting with friends,family, and business associates about
