FAD- A fashion that is taken up with great enthusiasm for a brief period of time; a craze. The acronym is FOR A DAY.
Most people thought and some still think that Facebook is a fad. Well, 6 years and 500 million users later, I think it’s safe to say it’s not a fad.
In my opinion, most fads are tangible, Von Dutch trucker hats, beanie babies and the current one, Silly Bandz. I will admit, I am a sucker for fads. I am also the first one to get sick of something. At the age of 11, I saw an opportunity with my beanie babies. Instead of playing with my beloved plastic pellet stuffed animals, I put them behind a glass enclosed case in my bedroom. I secretly envied my peers delightfully ripping of that TY tag and playing with their beanie babies until the toy no longer resembled the animal it originally represented. It was at this age that I realized I was an entrepreneur and I had enough self-control to be successful. Before the Beanie Baby market dropped out, I sold my prized collection for $5,000 in cash. I made about a $4,500 profit and at 11 years old, I felt like I was set for life.
I have always lived my life working extremely hard while looking for opportunities to challenge myself. That is why I started Gossip Genie. With each new client, there is a new set of challenges which I love. I take my work extremely seriously and that means I am not happy until my clients are happy.
