Please beware of Erin Baldwin, The Baldwin Companies and We Love Startups (whose website no longer exists). I won a lawsuit against her in February for which she has not paid a dime. She closed her bank accounts, got evicted from her home and refuses to show up to be served. There are several other clients of hers getting ready to sue her as well. The woman is nothing but a con artist who was also recently arrested for domestic violence.

Jennifer, what a great idea, I hate most of the bathrobes that I use at all high end hotels. Once you get off your feet and you are ready to get a retirement savings plan started for yourself, let me know, I can help you with tax strategies and investment options that are geared towards small business owners. Best of luck to you !

Hi Jennifer, glad to help with your site hosting question. GoDaddy's e-commerce services are very affordable; however, their control panel can be a little hard to get a handle on. Have you looked into Yahoo's web hosting services? They are easy and they'll also get you started with search marketing and send you a book about it. I have several clients who like the easy interface. In a few years when your site is going strong, you can hire a web developer to enhance the site with more customization and branding, and possibly move it to a dedicated server for you. Hope this helps! Let me know how it's going! -Nadene, SiteFixx

Thanks for your nice words. I was just at a resort this weekend and I was thinking EXACTLY that - that the robes are never just right. How smart to take an idea like that and run with it! What city do you live in?

I love what you said about not liking being told what to do - that rocks! That was one of my chief motivators, too! You're on your way, girl! Let me know if I can help along the way - sometimes it good to get a little inside scoop when you are first starting out to avoid those common pitfalls! Money is not a motivator for me either; it is a satisfier. My motivation is accomplishment and helping others avoid the mistakes I made in my first few years. Hook up with Leisa Ruiz from Pura Vida Day Spa - she has only the BEST stuff at her day spa. She is on this site. Take good care! Erin

Where did you get your idea for your business or the business you'd like to start?
I love going to high end Hotels and Resorts and sampling out their bathrobes. I have never found one that has taken me over the top nor been geared towards the environment. So I figured I love Bathrobes, I hate people telling me what to do so why not, it also helped that my great friend was a purchasing manager at a prime Hotel.... and well the rest is history.
