From the Desk of Image Consultant, Amy
McNish...
Greetings Everyone!
I pray that everyone is good health and with a peace of
mind... Well, as we draw closer to the end of the first
quarter of the year, I want to take a moment of reflection
and growth...
As many of you may already know this, but on January

2. 18, 2012 I lost my older brother Xavier McNish, to heart
failure. He was only 34 years old. And he left behind his only daughter that is 13 years
old. This has been a real hard time for me and my family. Everyone says that people
deal with death in different ways, and I must say I felt like I was going crazy. Starting my
New Year off with so much hurt and pain, is nothing easy to deal with.
I am a firm believer in God and He has carried me through this storm like a butterfly. I
am so grateful for His grace and mercy. I truly appreciate my true friends and family, that
prayed for me, and my strength. I am a true believer in God and Family First and
everything else comes later.
Out of all of that I Thank God that I was able to turn things around, and with my
brother's strenght in me I am such a stronger woman. I truly believe anything is possible
only if you BELEIVE!
Image Consulting & Designs by Amy has been growing and taking on new found
heights. The blessing are just pouring in! As you will read below, for the month of March
we have just progressed so much, it is hard to keep up. So Exciting!
I have added three new members to the team, Malcom Barrnett, is my Assistant, Diane
Pringle, Lead Fashion Intern, and Candance Woods, Image Consulting Intern. My team
is AMAZING! They work hard to ensure that my name is represented very well! I truly
appreciate them. If you see them with me out and about, make sure you say Hello!
One thing I have learned about life, when add new people to your team you have to let
some people go! Some clients are NOT for you so you have to LET THEM GO! Some
partners are NOT for you, so you have to LET THEM GO! God will bless you with 10
more NEW ones, trust me I am a living testimony! I had too many "Constituents, and
Comrades" in my life! But it's okay because I am truly BLESSED with "Confidants"...
So, I leave you with this encouraging statement from TD Jakes:
" 3 basic types of people that you will interact with if you are a child of destiny! Be
careful who you share your dream with"...
1) Confidants. You have very few of them. They are for you. They are in for the long
haul. You will never inherit your kingdom until you have a confidant. They will confront
you. If you have two or three of these relationships in your life you are a blessed
person.
2) Constituents. They are for what you are for. As long as you are for what they are for
they will walk and labor with you ... but they are not for you ... but what you are for. You
could mistake your constituents for your confidants.
3) Comrades. They are against what you are against. They will team up with you to help
fight a greater enemy. They will only be with you until the victory is accomplished.

"DRESS FOR
SUCCESS"
Spring Into Fashion
Seminar was a "HUGE
SUCCESS!"...
As many small business
owners may already know
this, but it is so HARD to get
a CONTRACT through the
government. Even when
you know someone that
knows someone! Well, after
many years of pressing
forward, Image Consulting &
Designs by Amy was able to get through! Yes, that's right we GOT IN!
Our FIRST Government Contract was presented on March 21st, 2012, Image
Consulting & Designs by Amy had the opportunity to present the "Dress for Success"
Seminar. It was such a HUGE SUCCESS! Every seat in the conference room was filled,
and got lots of GREAT feedback!
In the "Spring into Fashion" part of the presentation, we wanted to give "Real Life"
Examples of "How to Dress for Success"... So, we contracted one of the best modeling
agencies in the DMV area. IHI Modeling Agency was amazing. Very professional models,
on time, and very easy to work with.
"As Lead Consultant of my Image Company, I am always busy, and things are done at a
very fast pace. And I must say Ms. Nickeeliah Freeman, has one of the best agencies
out there! I was very impressed and pleased. Thomas and Viola where great, and the
audience loved them! "... ~ Amy
