The Benefits of Recruiting Volunteers

Posted by PChip | Published in: Business Blogging | Add the first Comment

A digi-scrapping group I’m a member of recently moved from their Yahoo Group into a new forum setting and they’ve attached a blog to their website as well. The DigiD4O is a group for people who do scrapbooking for others on a professional level.  There’s some great networking going on over there. As a matter of fact, a colleague of this group and I were chattering about guest blogging and how it could benefit their members and the new blog at the same time. That discussion prompted me to do some additional research on the subject and write todays article.

What’s Going On Behind the Scenes?

Posted by PChip | Published in: General Info | (1) Comment-Add Yours!

Were you wondering where I’ve been?  Sorry for the pause in blogging lately.  I’m as eclectic in my activities as I am in my love of varied art mediums.  So there are times when I get really wrapped up in things that keep me out of the blogosphere.  During the last two weeks have been popping in to check on things, but for the most part I’ve been working playing with other creative endeavors.  Here’s a quick look behind the curtains of my little world.

Projects Ready to go Postal

Over the weekend I was flexing my artful muscles with my clay and altered dolls - trying to finish up a big project started a couple of months ago.  Wahoo - I accomplished the first 14 dolls in a series of what I suspect will be 20 at the most.  There was only one little piece of digi-ness on these projects and that was nothing more than a typed quote I added to the frame and my signature block on the back.  So not much computer time on that at all.  Thirteen of these were spoken for upfront and they are ready to package and ship out.  I’m excited about finishing up this first round on the project.  I’m holding off on the last 6 dolls until after the holiday season.

Depending on how you look at the term “Joint Venture” and how you utilize a joint venture, it can mean different things to people. That’s the reason why there are slight variations in definitions for the term. Which definition you choose as your “official” one may vary from what other people consider the official definition of a joint venture (JV). However there are some very strong commonalities in the definitions:

1. A JV is an agreement between two or more people or businesses
2. JV’s provide benefits to all parities involved
3. JV’s are built around relationships

A Business JV

If you look at a JV from the business perspective, it is a strategic partnering and legal agreement between organizations, individuals, or businesses to mutually accomplish business objectives. The parties agree to work together in a manner that involves contributing equally, and they usually share assets, costs, risks, profits, other rewards, and/or the controls of a business endeavor. The venture can be for one specific project only, or it can be a long-term continuing business relationship. JV’s may or may not involve the exchange of money between the people involved. Many of them don’t.
