A Message from Phyllis Pometta, Founder of Baby Swags

ALL GOOD THINGS COME WITH TIME…and patience!

I have been in this business going on 4 years. My actual anniversary for being in business is September 6, 2006. With each gifting I have done, it has always felt like the first one all over again. I truly love what I do and truly love and respect all the companies that I have had the pleasure to work with over the course of my years here. There have been some major bumps in the road for me personally and professionally, but somehow I have held my head up high, have been grateful for these amazing opportunities and have always been true to myself and to my clients. I have been burned, as we all have at one point or another and I have dusted myself off, regained my focus, and pushed ahead and I am so glad that I did and that I never once caved in and gave up. So many times we question our business, our abilities, and we come so close to throwing in the towel. While we are always looking for the bottom line, sometimes you have to look at your appreciation. Is greed driving you or is true passion and love for what you are doing driving you? While I am not making millions of dollars over here at Baby Swags headquarters, I feel as if I am the richest woman on the planet. I have an amazing husband who, may not always say it the way I’d like to hear it, or express it the way he had planned, he is always there for me when I need him, and he is proud of all I have done. I have 3 children who are beautiful and amazingly talented in their own ways, who simply put, adore me. I have a family who loves me and is excited to see me get excited when I receive calls from Hollywood. I have a network of women *and men* who I completely respect and am honored to know. And, I have a growing and thriving business that I truly love and get excited for every day. While things may seem to take a long time to process and get together, like the boutique and the magazine…I know in my heart that with all this love and dedication it will all come together and be a huge success! After all, I am “building my empire” as I tell my children!

There will be some changes made at Baby Swags, from individual giftings, to pre & post gifting procedures, to levels of participation, and exclusivity. We are finally adding our magazine, Tots To Teens Magazine to our family of businesses and I am excited to share the guide with you. Baby Swags, The Mommy Mentor and Tots To Teens Magazine is currently entering a whole new world and the adventure with the three is just beginning. I am so happy to have you all be a part of my new adventures.

I’ve always said that if you surround yourself with the right team of people, anything is possible. I honestly believe that, which is why I am so grateful you have stuck with me over the course of my business journey. It’s amazing to me how I still have clients that have stuck by me since the very first gifting close to 4 years ago! All I can say to you all is thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for allowing me into your business journey. I hope that as the days, months and years go by we can all be appreciative in knowing that all good things come with time…and patience.
