Money Solves a Lot of Problems

The more money you make – the more choices you have in life. I’ve been saying this for years and it seems many women have an attachment to striving and struggling and not making much (or any) money in our own businesses or careers. Many women won’t let themselves make a single dollar beyond their comfort zone. It’s like their driving down the freeway with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brakes at the same time. Ouch! Part of it has to do with the kind of work we choose (If you sell merchandise at a retail store ostensibly you make a lot less money than if you sell jet airplanes.) and part of it has to do with a subconscious decision to “stay small.”

“Testosterone-Free” Marketing for Women that Works

Women are starting businesses in the US and many other countries at twice the rate of men. It’s amazing progress and adds billions to our economy. But why are businesses owned by women still often not taken seriously?

How Sarah Palin may Change American Women Business Owners

Sarah Palin electrified the crowd at the RNC Wednesday night in St. Paul. Men cheered and laughed at the snipes and jokes and GOP women looked up enthralled with this new post-feminist woman with unshakeable confidence who calls herself “a hockey mom” and “a pitbull” and then sticks it to the competition.

Loving Yourself – a secret key to business success

I’ve mentored an amazing number of women (and men) in marketing over the years. What I’ve noticed is for many people they have the mistaken impression our business is separate and different from how we think and feel about ourselves. Not so. If you don’t appreciate and value who you are and what good things you bring to your business – others will miss out on what you offer that’s unique, different and better for your ideal customers. Here are three empowering thoughts that may help:

Are You Cheating When You Make a Profit?

One strong impressions I get from many women home-based business owners is that deep in your heart you’re cheating others if you make a profit.

How can this be?

Big Life?

Have you ever wanted to live a big life? Was it ever your dream – or is it still your dream to make it really big? The fact that I still haven’t quite arrived and reached my goals became acutely aware to me when I heard of NBC’s Tim Russert’s passing from a sudden heart attack (he’s eight years older than me).

Why being “a Nice Girl” can Rip You Off

This is not for the ladies who sigh, “I may not make much money with my business but at least I’m home with my kids.” This is not for women dabbling at a business as a hobby. This post is for women who’ve worked hard, been around the block a few times and are ready for results.

MasterMinding can be Secret Key to Success (part 2:4)

In the fall of 1991 I started MasterMinding with a group of four other people who came together weekly. This was before the Internet and before I knew about bridge lines for teleconferences, etc. We used to meet at a little Thai restaurant and where they had good, cheap food and they didn’t push you out the door like so many restaurants do these days. I needed so much help. My life was a hot mess.
