In addition to hosting the Bag Ladies suite sponsored by EDEN BodyWorks, I also participated as a speaker for the conference hosting one of the Success Blueprints Roundtables. My topic of discussion was Growing, Creating and Defining Your Niche. Let me tell you… my nerves were so bad leading up to the discussion. I could have locked myself in the bathroom and never come out. I may have gotten off to a rocky start but we ended up having a great discussion. #GladThatsOver. I’m thankful that all these beautiful ladies joined my discussion. We had a great time! Here are a few key points from our Niche discussion:
- Share what you are passionate about.
- Define your point of difference.
- Be yourself, don’t try to do something because everyone else is.
- Know your readers.
- Connect with others in your niche.
- Be the expert in your niche.
- Your niche is you! No one else can do what you do (your point of difference)!

The keynote speaker of Blogalicious was Amy Dubois Barnett, Editor-in-Chief of Eboni Magazine and author of Get Yours. Amy is also former EIC of Harper’s Bazaar and editing manager of Teen People. With all these awesome accolades under her belt, Amy spoke to us like she was with a group of her girl friends. She kept it so real and talked about low points of her life and when she finally took responsibility for her own life. She shared her 7 tips to taking control of your life.
- Embrace fear as Growth.
- Be true to yourself.
- Realize your value and demand the best at all times.
- Put into the universe what you want to get back.
- Have integrity.
- Stay independent, this is your life and no one can live it for you.
- Do something meaningful everyday.
The conference was awesome and wish I had more time to hang but I had to jet off to NYC after my round-table discussion. Did you attend Blogalicious? What were your takeaways?
