We had the good fortune of connecting with Betsy Wiersma and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Betsy, what is the most important factor behind your success?
My brand, the CampExperience Network, uses love as a business tool! Our motto is to “Do Good and Have Fun” and in 15 years we have helped over 5000 women build their personal and business success while raising over $1 million for charities in Colorado and around the world. We build relationships as we come together to share like-hearted projects. And from the relationships and experiences we then do business and refer business. We call this magic of an active and growing network of powerful women “Sisterhood By Choice” and our guests and attendees are the “Camp Sisters.” We do this with a strategy of inclusion, acceptance, and FUN! This translates into monthly live and virtual networking events, four Signature Events including our annual Fall Retreat, a sponsorship Co-op to maximize investment in the Network and Charity Partners who benefit from our events and activities. During COVID lockdowns, I have made daily videos showcasing our philosophy under the theme “Love is the antivirus,” and we have added tactical podcasts to support our Network. The magic is the LOVE!
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a craftlete. It is the artist version of athlete! It started with making and selling macramé bead bracelets in 4th grade and today is a line of cards, blessing journals, card decks, original art, prints and now the art and insights book The STEW. https://campexperience.com/
