What Women Really Need to Know to Market a Business
Do you know what you really need to know to market your business effectively? If you’re like most women in business, you started your business because you are in love with an idea or a product, and are firmly convinced that everybody else in the world will be just as enamored of the product or service as you are.

4 Easy Steps to Finding Legitimate Work At Home Jobs
A few months ago, I was enjoying my morning bowl of cereal and going through my bills. I got nervous, went on line to check my bank balance and began to panic. I had no idea where I would come up with the money to cover everything. Earlier this year, I asked my boss for a much deserved raise, but unsurprisingly, with the state of the economy, he said no. This was right on the heels of not receiving a year end bonus. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I pledged to myself that I would start working only 8 hours a day instead of my usual 10. I would head home and spend 2-3 hours each night working on my own business.

The Empire Strikes Back?
This week I came across the expression ‘Vigilante Consumer’ for the first time. It seems that consumers are starting to strike back at companies that make it difficult to deal with them when they have a problem. You know what I mean? They have the attitude that they are perfect or at least doing the best that is physically possible to be done and you have a problem that shows a mistake has been made or that the system has failed. You want to explain the problem and nobody listens!

Right #3 You Have the Right to...Take Care of Yourself!
I have a confession to make. Like many of you, I'm a single mom who's been without insurance - for eight years. In that time I cared for sick and dying parents (they passed away just 4 months apart). I also moved in with my ex-husband and cared for him while he fought cancer (he's now in remission). And I continually care for my diabetic daughter, help with my grandchildren, work on another daughter's ventures, market my business, work, write, and in the meantime take plenty of vitamins, aspirins, sinus tabs, Nyquil, and diet pills. I fall into bed at night exhausted, often only to stare at the TV or the ceiling. I was recently coaching a physician who shocked me with this eye-opener. Years ago, she said, it was the talk of the emergency room when a 49-year-old came in with a heart att

Is Creativity an airy fairy notion or an absolute requirement for the small businessperson
I admire artists and poets. But I say to you that a peak creative effort is to envision something in business, to say it's going to happen when no-one else can see it, and then make it happen according to your vision. You may not get mentioned in the same breath as Rembrandt or Mozart. Your friends or your spouse may take your creativity for granted. But you can't make a small business work without it. This note is to ask you to examine your own creative force, and give you some tips on calling on it when you need it.

Stop working and start Earning?
I want you to close your eyes and ask yourself, what you would really love to do with the rest of your life, if you didn't have to work ever again. Just think, today, you will complete the sale of your business, which means that neither you nor your family will ever HAVE to work again. I emphasized Have, because some may want to work. There are even some amongst us, who on their deathbed will be thinking how much more they could have achieved in work.

Work From Home Business Means Giving Up Your Day Job Mentality
Work from home business and a day job mentality are opposites that do not attract. A job mentality is getting up in the morning and going out to put in an 8 and one half hour work day. When the work day is done you come home to relax, put your feet up and forget about the workplace until the next day when you start all over again. The tasks you are expected to carry out are clearly identified when you accept the job. All of that changes when you work for yourself. Dreaming of a home based business often includes a scene where you are sitting in an easy chair sipping coffee or your favorite beverage with the phone at your side. If that phone is not ringing off the hook then you are dreaming about a vacation not a home based business business. You must understand that owning a work from home business means giving up your day job mentality.
A False Assumption Made by Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs
In his best selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber said that most people fall victim to the most disastrous assumption anyone can make about going into business. He calls it 'The Fatal Assumption'. That Fatal Assumption is: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work. In other words, don't assume that if you know how to bake pies (technical work of a business), it means you know how to successfully run a business that sells pies (business that does that technical work).
Here’s how to Improve your Work and Life Balance
Not matter what office you work in, it is stressful. Whether you work for Google or a small 5-man business, it’s something that you simply cannot avoid. Nowadays, the world puts so many demands on us that we sometimes have to find a balance between work and play. We rush here, we rush there, we work longer hours, we have the family chores to do, we sleep and we want to have fun as well, don’t we? Unfortunately, work is taking over our lives and that impacts our lifestyle. Some of those that decide to put their lifestyle before their work can end up losing their jobs and that’s wrong but in today’s work environment, it is unfortunately true. But that doesn’t mean you have to ignore your personal life just so you can continue to climb up the ladder of job success.
Is A Work At Home Internet Business Opportunity The Best?
The ability to leverage the internet with a work at home business means our ‘store’ is always open.

Do You Have A CHOOSE Day?
Work life balance and starting a small business are not often seen on the same page. Somewhere in the "silent code book for small business - author unknown" there is a rule that says you have to work your butt off to be successful.

BUT if you work yourself into a burnout frenzy, you are NOT going to be able to work effectively IN your business, let alone ON your business.

50/50 Never Works in Relationships
The old cliche in order to make it work we have to have a 50/50 deal. You have to do your part and I have to do mine. We have to split things evenly. This business partnership will only work if it is 50/50. This marriage will only work if it is 50/50. Otherwise it is never going to work. Any of that sound familiar to you? We have heard that one before. Of course we have. Yet things don't work when we give 50 and the other person gives 50. Trust me. We tried it in business. We tired it in marriage. And what we have found to many times is that things still don't work. Why?
