The Shape of Doing Business Is Changing: Curvy
Plus-size friendly entrepreneurs around the world are letting their voices be heard and are ready to put their money where their mouth is. The Curvy Coach has launched to support & promote business owners in this often overlooked industry.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA, August 27, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Kimmoy Matthews, CEO of www.thecurvycoach.com is shaping the new way of doing business; she's keeping it curvy. The Curvy Coach is kicking off the Exclusive Curvy Coaching program which is a one of kind program that provides entrepreneurs insight to the business opportunities in the plus-size industry as well as business and marketing strategies to grow their curvy-friendly businesses.

"The plus-size community makes up over 60% of the population but we're treated like the invisible people." I became more aware of this as I saw big-box companies ceasing production of plus-size clothing. It didn't make business sense to cut out the true majority. I knew it was because they really didn't take the time to get to know us or market to us as a plus-size community. That 'build and they will come' mentally doesn't work with us. I also noticed that the entrepreneurs within the plus-size community were leaving a lot of money on the table; there is more to us than fashion. Kimmoy also noted the plus-size entrepreneurs didn't have many business role models speaking to their business needs directly.

Now is the time for plus-size entrepreneurs to start businesses. With the popularity of shows such as "Dance Your A** Off", "Drop Dead Diva", and "More To Love" the opportunities are exponential if done correctly. That is why I created a coaching program for those who are just starting out and even those entrepreneurs who are seeking a new market for their company. The Curvy Coaching program is making memberships available for charter members beginning September of 2009. "I'm excited to be hosting monthly in-depth training sessions with my members on an intimate level. After receiving such great feedback from the 1st ever Plus-Size Business Tele-Summit, I knew I had to keep the momentum going." The plus-size community is in need for this type of support and information to create successful businesses that meets our needs and wants.

Members can expect to learn the 'ins-and-outs' of what a curvy-friendly business really means, how to develop a vision and strategic plan, identify those who you want to serve, offering products and services that your market wants, marketing techniques that attracts your ideal clients, and much more. Matthews noted, "I believe in continuing education and support, so members have the opportunity to keep their membership as long as they want without any obligations." Much like subscribing to a magazine each and every month, but with coaching and training specifically designed for your plus-size business.

Kimmoy also known as The Curvy Coach for pioneering the 1st ever Plus-Size Business Tele-Summit. She introduced the online plus-size community to exclusive business tips and strategies and offered motivational support. "I recognize the importance of having a strong support system, a mentor, and a business coach in your entrepreneurial life especially in the plus-size community," said Kimmoy. "The areas of your life that is most important to you is where you need the most support, whether it is spiritual, marital, physical, educational, or business-wise."
