The year of 2012 is going to bring a lot of change for me, I can feel it! I'm getting excited to have 2011 just...over with. I'm ready to start a new chapter, and for the first time in history- am actually going to have a New Years Resolution! Yayyy!
The Stars of Unique (a group of unique, beautiful women I run)- are going to be going to an old folks home inUtah
Basically a few months back we had auditions. We took a few newer models under our wing to help promote them, as well as build their modeling portfolios. One of the new girls has a passion for singing and dancing- and has always wanted a group of women to carry this dream through. That's totally fine- being my dream was to make a group of beautiful unique models- and did it.
It all started becoming a conflict of interest the first moment I heard about the team. I was holding another audition for Unique, when girls started showing up for this dance team 'so n so' had created. Not only that, but she was also holding auditions that day, including some of my models. I was confused, and it took me about a week to understand that she had started her own team, and that my girls were being added to hers. No big deal at the time- two girls had auditioned and made it to her team, we can still be a family...right? Wrong.
About a week ago, I came to realize that no- not only two of my girls had joined her team- but 7 had seriously considered doing so, if not- joined. Ummm..Unique is a team of about 13 models- that is almost half of my girls on another team together. How Unique is that? After much thought on the matter through the last two months- this news broke my heart. I had to draw a line, and quick- before more of my girls turned up on the other team of dancers. While I do understand they are different areas of business- I want my team of girls to be OUR family, not every girl group out there. So I made the decisions, and as result of that- there are 8 girls left, including myself and management.
While it sounds like business catastrophe- I find it completely opposite. I'm excited for a fresh new start! One with women who were loyal, see what Unique can be- and strive as much as I do for the excellence of the company...not my company and 10 others. The ladies who have previously joined the dancing team had worked with me for a long time. I grew a very strong relationship with them, and really did not want to exclude them from our Unique family, but with girls rapidly joining their team, missing events, causing drama- it had to be done. I hope that in all of this they can understand a business perspective, be professional, and not allow this to ruin our relationship as friends. It's been a really big burden- but now the burden is lifted, and the fellow members of management and me can move forward. <3
