MELISSA BOLTON'S ARCHETYPAL BRANDING PROGRAM

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO DETERMINE WHO YOU REALLY ARE IN THE WORLD OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP OR SOLO-ENTREPRENEURSHIP?  TO LEARN WHAT REALLY DEFINES YOUR PRODUCT OR BRAND?

TO DISCOVER YOUR ARCHETYPE USE THE SECOND LINK ON MY LEFT-HAND SIDE BAR TO MELISSA BOLTON'S BLOG.  THEN PERUSE THAT PAGE AND GO TO THE LINK THAT SAYS: HERE     THAT LINK WILL TAKE YOU TO THE PDF. EVALUATION FORM WHICH IS THREE PAGES LONG.  IT IS BEST TO PRINT OUT THE EVALUATION ASSESSMENT FORM TO DETERMINE YOUR ARCHETYPAL EVALUATION.

THE EVALUATION IS SELF-EXPLANATORY.  THEN YOU CAN GO TO MELISSA'S PINTEREST PAGE TO VIEW YOUR ARCHETYPE BRANDING EVALUATION. (ACCESS TO THE MELISSA'S PINTEREST PAGE IS ALSO MY LEFT SIDEBAR).  BE ADVISED THERE IS MORE THAN JUST THE SELF- ASSESSMENT EVALUATION AS MELISSA IS A CONSULTANT AND HER PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE FOR $49.   CHECK OUT HER ENTIRE BLOG AS THERE IS LOTS OF INFORMATION AS YOU LOOK AROUND.

I was so intrigued when I came upon Melissa Bolton's ARCHETYPAL BRANDING PROGRAM.   Melissa has created a unique program based on whatever your own style happens to be, whether it is in the realm of one-of-a-kind art, fashion, your own boutique, spiritual self-help website...Melissa will help you on your road to success to help determine what will bring customers to your domain.
PREPARE TO BE AMAZED AS YOU TAKE MELISSA'S 'ARCHETYPE' SELF-ASSESSMENT EVALUATION WHICH I HAVE THE LINK POSTED ON MY LEFT SIDE BAR.
  THERE ARE ACTUALLY 12 DIFFERENT ARCHETYPE EVALUATION DESCRIPTIONS WHICH DEFINE WHAT WILL WORK BEST WITH YOUR BUSINESS BRAND.  THE ARCHETYPES ARE:

THE LUMINARY    THE INNOCENT   THE EXPLORER   THE MONARCH   THE CREATOR
THE NURTURER   THE MAGICIAN   THE WARRIOR   THE MAVERICK   THE PASSIONATE   THE JESTER    (AND)   THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

YOU CAN VIEW THESE ARCHETYPAL TYPES ON MELISSA'S PINTEREST PAGE BY CLICKING ON EACH ONE SEPARATELY.   I VIEWED THEM 'BEFORE' I TOOK THE SELF-ASSESSMENT EVALUATION.   I LIKED THE SURPRISE WHEN MY BRANDING WAS COMPLETE!!!

I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS SHORT AND SIMPLE, AS MELISSA'S WEBSITE AND PAGES ARE SELF-EXPLANATORY.  PLEASE READ THROUGH HER 'PAGES' AND ACCESS WHAT SHE MAKES AVAILABLE AT THE TOP OF EACH PAGE. 

MELISSA HAS A PINTEREST PAGE WHICH SHOWS THE ACTUAL ARCHETYPE BRANDING WITH DEFINED QUOTES WHICH WILL BE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TO YOUR BRAND.
I WILL POST THE LINK FOR HER PINTEREST PAGE TOO.

ENJOY THIS INCREDIBLE JOURNEY TO FIND YOURSELF, YOUR BUSINESS BRAND AND BE ON YOUR ROAD TO SUCCESS.

ACTUALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO POST TWO OF THE ARCHETYPE BRANDS WHICH DEFINED ME.   AND LIKE MELISSA SAID, NO TWO BRANDINGS ARE THE SAME, AND WHAT DEFINES ONE PERSON MAY NOT DEFINE THE NEXT PERSON, WHICH IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.  IT HAS TO DO WITH PERSONAL TASTES AND WHAT THE BRAND YOU ARE PROMOTING AND WHAT WILL DRAW THE CUSTOMERS TO YOUR TYPE OF MERCHANDISE.  THIS IS SUCH A POSITIVE PROGRAM MANY TOP NAME ARTISTS HAVE BEEN GREATLY INSPIRED AND HELPED WITH MELISSA'S EXPERTISE.

I WAS PLEASED AND EXCITED THAT THE FIRST ARCHETYPE BRAND THAT DEFINED ME WAS 'THE CREATOR'.  I ALSO TIED FOR 'PASSIONATE' WITH THE FIRST ARCHETYPE.  SO I AM A 'PASSIONATE/CREATOR' TYPE.
BECAUSE MELISSA WANTS YOU TO 'GET IT RIGHT' WITH YOUR BRANDING, SHE HAS A SECOND BRAND TO DEFINE WHO AND WHAT WILL DRAW CUSTOMERS TO YOUR PRODUCT.   SO, I ALSO TIED WITH TWO DIFFERENT BRANDINGS ON THE SECOND ARCHETYPE.  I AM AN 'INNOCENT' TYPE, AND IT TIED WITH 'THE EXPLORER' .  SO I AM AN 'INNOCENT EXPLORER'.  I WAS VERY IMPRESSED!!!
YOU CAN VISIT MELISSA'S ARCHETYPAL BRANDING PROGRAM SITE AND ALSO HER PINTEREST PAGE TO VIEW WHAT SHE HAS TO OFFER.

THANK YOU!

LOVE TO ALL OF YOU AT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

SHARING PHOTOS OF GOODIES I HAVE FOUND IN COLLECTIBLE STORES AND FLEA MARKETS THIS PAST FALL.

SOMETIMES, WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING I AM LOOKING FOR, I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO COME TO ME.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD THAT HAPPEN TO YOU?  I HAVE PASSED SOMETHING BY, WHEN A PRICE IS TOO HIGH, AND EVENTUALLY I WILL FIND THE COVETED COLLECTIBLE I HAVE BEEN SEEKING, AND WILL FIND IT AT ALMOST HALF THE PRICE FOR WHAT I HAD FIRST SEEN.  IT IS KIND OF SERENDIPITY!!!  I THINK OF THE PHRASE 'ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT', AND SO MANY TIMES THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE WITH ME.

SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO HERE ARE SOME SWEET, SIMPLE TREASURES I HAVE FOUND RECENTLY, AS MY HUBBY AND I ENJOY GOING TO VINTAGE FLEA MARKETS AND COLLECTIBLE STORES.  IT IS AMAZING WHAT CAN BE FOUND THESE DAYS, AND THERE ARE SO MANY VINTAGE ITEMS WHERE NO TWO PIECES ARE EVER ALIKE.

I FOUND THIS COLLECTIBLE NICOL SAYRE REPRODUCTION AT AN ANTIQUE FLEA MARKET IN CAYUCOS, CALIFORNIA.  MY HUSBAND POINTED IT OUT TO ME AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE PRICE WAS GOING TO BE OUT OF MY RANGE.  WELL, BECAUSE THE RIGHT HAND AND LOWER ARM ARE MISSING, THE VENDOR HAD DISCOUNTED THE DOLL TO $15.00.  IT WAS A BARGAIN! I DIDN'T HESITATE TO CAPTURE THIS CHARMING DOLL.  AND I AM SO HAPPY I DID, AS WHEN WE DROVE ON TO MORRO BAY, WE WENT INTO ONE OF OUR FAVORITE COLLECTIBLE STORES AND THE STORE HAD THE VERY SAME DOLL(BUT SHE DID HAVE HER HAND HOLDING A PUMPKIN) IN A VENDOR'S BOOTH FOR $85.00!  I AM A DOLL MAKER SO I AM GOING TO ADD THE ARM AND HAND ONTO THE DOLL I FOUND.
I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR VINTAGE LACE OR HAND CROCHETED BEAUTIES.  THIS VERY CHARMING IRISH ROSE PIECE OF LACE WAS A LOVELY FIND.  I ALSO FOUND THE SWEET HAND MIRROR TOO.
BLACK LACE IS ONE OF MY WEAKNESSES TO FIND.  THIS GORGEOUS PIECE WILL PROBABLY FIND ITS WAY ON TO A HAND-MADE PILLOW, OR INTO A VINTAGE LACY JOURNAL.
THIS WAS THE REAL FIND. A LOVELY 7 FT. BY 4 FT. HAND CROCHETED TABLECLOTH FOR A SONG!  I SAW THE PRICE TAG IN A COLLECTIBLE MALL AND ABOUT FELL OVER.  ONLY $25.00! NOW THAT, WAS A BARGAIN!


THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT THESE LOVELY FINDS OF THE SEASON.   MAY YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!!!
