2015 Aboutme - Petina Chambler

One of my first blog entries was an about me entry.  

It is the most popular entry on my blog, 

I get an average of 5 people viewing it a day.

3/4 of them are coming from Social Networks. 

I have a link in my Profiles to the about me entry.

In setting up my G+ Profile, I found it was starting to look more like a resume.

I knew most people on the Social Networks don't want to know how many businesses I've done over the years.

My making the 1st about me page, was driven by my thoughts that some people will want to know more about me while others will not.

Is the link that they were going to before I updated my profiles.  

Now instead of a plain Jane Blog entry.  They get to watch a Video. 

There is a mistake in the video I am 1/4 Chickasaw not 3/4, sorry.
Keeping to the thoughts that most people clicking the link on my profile to learn more about me, aren't looking for my business history, I only mention my 1st business in the video.  So a lot of information about me that is on the old blog entry is not in the video.

Why run with a video that has such a big mistake in it?
I am human, I make mistakes.
In my 1st Video.  I talk about some of my hang ups.

In the above blog entry I write about my first video, and my hang ups.

A Perfectionist is another word for Procrastinator.
In life nothing is going to be Perfect.
If everything in my life had to be spic and span perfect, I would never upload an about me Video.
That is why, I'm running with the video mistakes and all.

I'm a High School drop out.  I did get my GED(General Education Diploma),
The car wreck destroyed my dreams, and it took me many years to recover from the injuries.

My life is full of mistakes and accidents that have made me who I am today.
Is who you are, not made up of your past mistakes, and the accidents that have happened to you?
My video mistake wasn't intentional.  But I'm going to own it.
If you noticed I was starting to get tongue tied, at the end of the video.
The next take, only ended up with more mistakes.

My kids are a part of who I am.

About Me- Petina May Blackbird Chambler-Phelps

I grew up in a self employed family, my father was a large house hold appliance repair man.
My first business was a lemonade stand on the court house lawn, I was maybe six or seven.
At twelve I sold homemade hard candy suckers to my class mates.
At thirteen we moved into the country and I was in charge of the family fruit stand.
At fourteen we added a firework stand.
At fifteen we added snow cones.
Then the late 1990's the price fell on oil and many people including my father went looking for work in the bigger cities.
I was Assistant Apartment Manger under my mother, while my father worked for the Management Company as a repair man. The Management Company moved us around a lot, cause we specialized. We were what you would call fixers. We moved into the ran down apartments and built them back up and had them out of the red and back into the black under a year. The owner's wife of the Mangagement Company died, and his son didn't want to take over the business so he retired closing the business down.
It was then I got my first job working for someone that wasn't family. I took an after school job taking care of a kennel of dogs.
I got a sales job for a company that focused on selling items to the employees in businesses. I got in a car wreck the first day of working on my own. It was two weeks before my 19th birthday.
Dad moved us back to Sulphur, Oklahoma not long after I was released from the hospital.
My uncle talked my dad into starting a rabbit business. The guy that was suppose to buy the rabbits didn't show. So I started selling dressed rabbits around town. That is how I meet my husband.
I married him and became a house wife. In 1999, I became a mother of my son, in 2004 I became a mother to my baby girl.
I'm not sure about dates but I opened an Ebay store selling old paperback books sometime between 1999 and 2004 to bring in some extra money, but I didn't keep it up.
2014 opened an online Designer T-shirt and nick nack store, called What's Next? The Future.
