What in the world does Blog Action Day have to do with Ending Poverty??!
By admin | October 14, 2008
Blog Action Day is tomorrow (October 15).
So, what in the world is Blog Action Day, and what does it have to do with Ending Poverty?
It’s purpose: for bloggers everywhere to come up with actionable ways to help end poverty, spur their readers to DO something about it, and then for they themselves (the bloggers) to take action as well.
(In case you didn’t know it, it’s estimated that there are over 112 million blogs, according to Technorati… If 1/10 of 1/10 did something about ending poverty… that’s still over 1,000,000 people doing something on the same day to help end poverty~!)
We at Empowering Women in Business will be blogging about some powerful ways to empower women, decrease poverty (and, incidentally, still increase your bottom line!), and multiply ways of empowering others as much as possible with as great an effect as possible!
In the mean time, below is a great list of “88 ways to DO Something About Poverty Right Now, found on the BlogActionDay.org website. I’ve bolded my favorites!
(’Got an idea to add to this list?
Please leave a comment and I’ll be sure to post it and link back to your site!)

Learn Networking and Self-Promotion Techniques from a 3-year-old?!
By admin | October 9, 2008
Learn networking from a 3 year old?!
Are you Crazy?
Well, no, not really.
Afterall, 3-year-olds still naturally feel good about themselves and are shameless about asking for what they want.
Of course, not all promoting and networking will turn a prospect into a customer or business partner… In fact, sometimes it can backfire.
However, if you can learn to promote like a 3-year-old, then you will get more clients, more qualified business partners and more life-long-friends than we even know what to do with! Read the rest of this entry »
