Did U Miss Me???
It's been a while since I've posted. Many new faces, many don't know who I am and some of U don't wanna know.
Just a little re-cap...lot's has changed, for those who know me (I've changed my website once again), opening up a second office at a prime location in Minneapolis, just got my company certified as a Minnority Owned Business and many new things are in the horizon for 2008!
With the new office and additional staff, we just recently published a new Lingerie Calendar featuring some of the most beautiful women, I've worked with in Minneapolis and I've decided that all the proceeds will go to the student models to help pay for their education (wanna buy it?), just getting ready to launch a new magazine called EXPOSURE! in '08 which will help companies get some exposure, just signed a deal to put 2gether a local TV show on theCW and getting ready 2 sign an agreement with CBS Billboards/local radio and TV stations to put 2gether some small business advertising packages, and last but not least also working with the Minneapolis community to try to help the unfortunate and pretty much keeping myself VERY VERY busy.
Please don't take this post the wrong way, I'm not here to try to sell my services, I just wanted 2 say hello and give a little update for those who I've known through the years on what's going on in my little boring life!
If U'r bored, check out the site and let me know what U think. I'm adding the spanish version in the next few days and still tweaking! Lot's going on and at times I miss this place and most of all the people, I've had the pleasure of knowing...my goal is 2 visit more often!
Take care and dare 2 B Wild!
Michael

Oh, yeah. There are various groups like: http://www.nmsdconline.com (National) and in Minnesota it's the http://www.mmsdc.org (local).
Many corporations like Target, Carlson, General Mills, etc. belong to these organizations to try to find certified suppliers that meet a certain criteria in order to work with Minority owned companies whether it's race or a woman owned business. Many corporations have a Supplier Diversity division that works with these organizations and that's how I've managed to get a lot of my corporate business. Many of these corporations will consider you if you are not certified but there's less loops to go through if you are.
