Time Management

If it was any other Sunday, I would stay up and work until I couldn't work anymore. However, as
my new Monday Resolution I, have decided to wake up extra early and start my week off right.

This month is all about finishing the pilot for the premiere and in preparation for the premiere (date TBD early 2010), I need to approach key sponsors to make this happen.








I will set my alarm at 8am, Stay in my black knock off version of a black Juicy Couture sweatsuit and while I heat up water for the morning green tea, I will sit on the carpet and work on my middle splits while downing a liter of NYC tap water before my tea. Just typing this seems like a dream lifestyle way of beginning my morning.

After a warm up i will then do 50 pliés (when I go back to Ohio I am taking private ballet lessons) and then work on the following to do list:








1. Tweet what time it is
2. Research the Tory Burch foundation.
3. Identify who I want to approach as sponsors for the step and repeat
4. Design perspectus for potential sponsors
5. Take 20 min and walk to health food store to order 32 oz of organic vegetable and apple/carrot juice
6. Check Twitter and Facebook
7. Finish perspectus
8. Text Marigo and Email Sara Claire and Esther regarding scenes that need to be filmed
9. Follow up with Zara Terez
10. Call The World Bar and find out if I can film there for a drink filmed meeting with Emily
11. Take a break and finish reading The Trump Card
12. Eat
13. Drink water!
14. Go!!! To the apple store and find the right person to talk to about having the premiere there! That would be a dream!!

Wow. I am really looking forward to my day.

I have to write to do lists more often. I hope it helps my mind focus and manages my time beyond my wildest expectations.

15. Otrera and marigo
16. Write femmetrepreneurs questions to send to femmes to feature them on my blog.









Happy Monday! Xo

@ToryBurch @IvankaTrump

Flying solo at the Tory Burch featuring Ivanka Trump gala was intimidating at first. It takes some femmetrepreneur "balls point pens" to attend a gala alone. I bought the Trump Card business bible and sat down on the low white couch to read. I was immediately enchanted.



2 pages in, the what I assumed to be the book manager of the event approached me and asked if i would like Ivanka to sign the book. I walked over to the book table display and the stunning Ivanka Trump greeted me. She looks the same as she does in her ads and television appearances- just classy gorgeous.



She asked me if I read the book. I have not. I told her I can relate to being born into a wealthy family but in the end it's on me to work hard. She asked me what business I am in and to be honest I didn't know what to say. I wanted to talk about The Lights show but all that came out was that my father is a pioneering physician. I didn't want tonight to be about me- it was all about her. I can't wait to read the book to brush up on modern business etiquette. I handed her her gift that I had designed and gave Tory's gift to her sales rep because I just missed her.


After a couple glasses of the finest champagne and caviar, I started mingling with the Patrick Mcmullen camera man and actor/model side job servers and found out that the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad is speaking tomorrow night in the city.



Then the night became magical. I was speaking to model Emile from Australia by the entrance and as two fabulously dressed young women walked by to leave, I seized the moment and said, "do you mind if I ask you ladies a question." "Sure", they broke stride. I proceeded to ask them if they were entrepreneurs. No, however one worked for Tory Burch.



After exhanging cards I suddenly realized I was closing out the place with the staff. I rushed to take iPhone stills as one of the sales reps complimented by bebe diamond fishnet stockings.

Feeling confident (yes the champagne was that fabulous) I found myself cliquing with Caroline who manages all the Tory Burch social media and online marketing. I am interested in doing a post on Tory and she is interested in @NewYorkCityPR. We can't wait to have coffee at Machiatto next week.

Tory Burch
6-8— celebrating new eyewear launch and the Trump Card.

Serendipity and energy is a funny thing. For the past week I have been dreaming about Ivanka Trump either guest starring on The Lights (I already wrote out the scene where I am in a dream speaking to her in the boardroom) or narrating the voice overs. What does a femmetrepreneur do when Ivanka Trump tweets that she will be at the Tory Burch Nolita boutique in just a few hours! We drop whatever we are doing and rearrange our schedules to follow this Celestine Prophecy.


Now, I have to re-write the script and nix filming me going to Borders/Barnes & Noble to purchase the Trump Card— Ivanka Trump's latest book about business. I spoke with someone at the boutique and cameras of course are not allowed—I am actually happy about this since it's been a long time that I have been out with just a cocktail in hand enjoying just meeting people naturally without the intimidation of the camera.

With a purchase of her book ( $24.99) you receive a Trump gift bag! I am SO excited! Also, Tory Burch is not only celebrating the Trump Card– she is launching her eyewear collection! Did you all know that my father pioneered LASIK eye surgery?— and yet I am still in glasses & contacts! Ha! I am waiting for his inside the eye contact lens. Can they make me look like Edward Cullen?
(Oh just went to the website and see sunglasses— I wonder if she is coming out with lenses?

Anyway! Tory Burch will also have some items from her spring collection.

Wow. Ivanka Trump & Tory Burch— major femmetrepreneurs.

My plan is to go— even if I am solo, buy The Trump Card and have a reading date with my hors d'ouvres and cocktail. I actually am not going to be on the prowl to network as I am on a great path with my circle of solid femme colleagues, however I will just live in the moment and see how the energy is and where it takes me.

Now, I have about one hour and 15 minutes to shower, choose an outfit in my limited selection of a suitcase, print a card to give to Ivanka Trump and take the 30 min train there from Brooklyn.

It's now 5:10 and I am showered and the design gift for Ivanka and Tory are done. Not bad. Now, the question! what to wear!


I just had to whip up some business cards too! (I arrived at 7:15).
