Feeling older than you should be to have “…not yet become a success and reached your goals”?!

By admin | October 3, 2008

Admit it… we don’t always meet our goals on target… And sometimes, as we review our lives, we see that we haven’t hit a LOT of our major life goals that we thought we should have “by our age,” and may not feel a success.

Some of you are thinking, “Yeah, so what?  I’m just going to keep on getting out there until I hit my goals!”
Great!  You’re a part of the optimistic, glass-is-half-full Group I. Good for you!

The rest of you, who may feel a little deflated about your success now and then… Read the rest of this entry »

By admin | September 26, 2008

Okay, so you’re ready to blast off on your own venture with a great business idea- where do you start?

Yes, even if you’re starting up with a networking marketing company or some other “business in a box,” you STILL need a business plan.

Wanna know the Sales Techniques that allow you to Sell like a Pro without being a jerk?!

By admin | September 25, 2008

How do you sell, make a lot of money, and not come across as (or feel like) a jerk?

Fear not– it’s not only possible, but when you know the right sales techniques, you’ll be better at sales than you ever were using the pushy-jerk techniques that many of us first learned in sales.

A few years back, I got a job with a national mortgage company as a loan officer with prospects of “high commissions and happiness” glowing in my starry eyes. I joined the company when I saw just how much money loan officers were making at the time, and how glamourous the lifestyle sounded (there was a lot of getting around to meet people!). I realized that to make a lot of money, one has to be in sales. After all, “nothing happens until a sale is made” (Red Motley- 1946), so why not… Read the rest of this entry »

By admin | September 22, 2008

As the Stock Market goes down and the Financial Crisis snowballs even further, how do we, as women entrepreneurs, immunize ourselves and our businesses from the fall?
The mortgage crisis continues to grow, major companies like Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers- former pillars of American financial greatness- are going under one after the other, after the other. Most financial advisors say that the worst is yet to come, and that we have to brace ourselves for one of the worst economic depressions since World War II…

So, what is one to do? Read the rest of this entry »

How do Women Entrepreneurs balance Career and Family… and still be successful (like Loral Langemeir, Sarah Palin or Michelle Obama do)?

By admin | September 6, 2008

As women entrepreneurs, there are a few blessings that we bring to the table, and a few challenges too. As I speak with women in business, here’s some of the things that come up (as both blessings and challenges):
* We Juggle a LOT of things-
* Family

What Marketing Strategy Should You Use for Your Business to Attract Long-Term Loyal Paying Customers and Clients??

By admin | August 8, 2008

Of course, that’s what we all want: Long Term Loyal Customers who love us so much that they return again and again. But to do that, you have to build loyalty, and that takes time, so how do you make money in the mean time?

The challenge here, especially when your business is in its infancy, is to find and attract paying customers quickly. But making a quick sale doesn’t necessarily lead to long-term clients. So, how do we bridge the gap and get some serious Client Attraction going on?

The answer lies… Read the rest of this entry »

What do I mean by, “Empowering Others is a Serious Business??”

By admin | July 2, 2008

Well, this week, I mean several things.

We already know that “Personal Growth” and “Self Improvement” are big topics with lots of businesses based on it starting and growing every day.

Just look at Earl Nightengale, Bob Proctor, Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins, etc., as well as the thousands of books and websites that spring up every day (like 117selfimprovementgifts.com… smile).

The dictionary defines “Empowerment” as, “to give power or authority to…” or “to enable or permit.” I believe that now-adays, colloquially-speaking, we use “empowerment” to also mean “to inspire,” “to give tools to do…,” and… Read the rest of this entry »
