The Power of Social Networking
| |
| You’ve all heard of networking right? Most business women don’t ever use it to its full potential. One of the most common reasons is that it’s just one more thing you have to do in your busy day so it goes into the too hard basket, right!
I know I used to do this. With traditional networking, you stand in a room full of complete strangers pretending to have a good time, all in the hope that you will connect with the right people.
Yes, networking can be a nightmare. It can also be a great thing if you get the right environment for you. Networking is all about building relationships and now-a-days I use both online and offline networking, but I get the greatest benefit from online social networking as I can connect with more people in less time. So what is it and how can it benefit you? |

How to Increase Your Productivity and Profit From Your Image
| |
| I attended a business women's event last week and was amazed at how many of the attendees presented themselves.
This was a business event and the way in which many of them dressed you would have thought they were going to a local football game!
I met a 'coach' who raved about how successful she was and what she does for her clients. This person was at least 10kgs overweight, her chest was exposed and her clothes were very inappropriate for a business environment. If you were looking for a coach, would you consider investing in her services? She obviously had her own issues to deal with. What she said didn't match how she looked.
In contrast there was the mortgage broker who was dressed extremely well in a tailored suit, who obviously took pride in her appearance and looked confident and competent.

Are You Too Big for Your Britches?
| |
| I have seen, to my dismay, many women in business put themselves upon a pedestal and snub peers whom they consider to be of no use to their business. They feel that they are more of a true woman business owner than some other women, basing this all on the type of business the other women own and run. These women in business are making a huge mistake, in my opinion. Not only are they losing potential networking opportunities and a chance to learn valuable lessons, but they are also creating a bad reputation for themselves. |

Women and Men are Different: Financially Speaking
| |
| Men and women think differently, especially about money. Although both men and women are concerned about security; many women think about what money represents, where men tend to think of what money can buy. There is no right or wrong, we just think differently. Money has no gender, anyone, man or woman can earn, spend, save or invest it. The results of a survey of 1,000 spouses conducted for Money Magazine, found men and women had dramatically different ideas about who does what with the family finances and what is important to their partners. 27% of men believe their wives think having the right investments is very important. Yet nearly half of the women surveyed say it is important. 45% of men say that having cash for emergencies is very important to their spouse, when in reality 67% of women believe it's crucial.
