Claudia Beck, Artist, Graphic Designer and Business Owner

Helping Other Business Owners is Claudia Beck's Passion
Claudia Beck is a lifelong artist, graphic designer and business owner. Having worked for other companies her entire career, when she became a Mom just over 10 years ago, she decided to leave the work force. Claudia wanted to and felt she needed to stay home and work. This way she could have the time to be "Mom": the one to take care of and teach her son about life, be there when he needed a hug, a kiss and a playmate too.
While continually doing freelance graphic design during this "post employee" lifestyle she also dabbled with a variety of costly and unsuccessful direct sales companies, money-making programs and other financially draining systems, so she set on a quest to develop her own business, which turned out to be businesses. These could then be based on what she really wanted to do anyway therefore much more worthy of the time it took her to develop and run them.
Because of learning from her mistakes and taking a lot of time to make those mistakes too -- her 10 years as an online marketer and business owner has actually paid off. She has owned and run a variety of niche sites, headed up business networks, written countless articles on a variety of topics and is a huge participator and advocate of affiliate marketing.

Claudia says, "Way back when -- in the middle of my career -- I pined away wishing I had chosen a different one because I felt that as a mere graphic designer working for someone else, I was not helping others to the extent that I wanted to nor felt that I could do. But now, with my current businesses I am able to comprehensively help other business owners and those who want to be, in a variety of personal, hands on ways. This is what I truly LOVE to do."
"I have been fortunate enough to take on this endeavor during an amazing technological time in history. With the advent of the internet and all of our other technological advances that we are experiencing over the last 15 or so years, it has enabled me to help folks all over the world from my simple little Studio based out of my home. I never would have imagined having a client base that circled the globe! Not only do I have clients world-wide, but many great new business partners and 'dear to me' friends from every corner of the earth as well. What a fantastic time it is to start a business -- own a business -- work to grow a business! I am blessed to be a part of it and even more so to be situated that I can help others do the same."

Claudia's ultimate goal with these companies is to consolidate them all into one comprehensive business promotions service under her Sunflowers and Seagulls Promotional Services umbrella. She is planning to add other much needed services for business owners such as website hosting and providing them access to 3rd party services such as commercial printing.
Claudia also very much enjoys writing as a way of transferring knowledge to others.

She also writes for article directories and has written numerous articles for her own websites and blog on a variety of topics.
Claudia concludes, "I try to, and LOVE to, meet all of my clients and potential clients personally however possible. So whether it's via an instant chat session, through a computer voice service such as Skype (http://www.jdoqocy.com/8o121kjspjr69EB9CAD687CED8FF) or face to face I try to be as accessible to my clients as possible."
