Why 75% of Women Struggle to Succeed in Business
| |
| When you look at the list of what women 'do' in their businesses it looks something like this..
1. General administration
2. Email
3. Website maintenance
4. Phone calls
5. Marketing
6. Social Networking
7. Client work
8. Bookkeeping
9. Running errands
plus much much more.
Of course this 'to do' list is similar to what men 'do' in business, however the woman in business is also responsible for the personal side of life. Having children and partners plus take care of the household can consume your day without even going anywhere near their business!
The biggest barrier to their success is they often try to 'do' everything themselves, which is impossible. While they are 'doing' the day-day basics, there's no time to work 'on' the business. There's no time to look after their no. 1 asset... themselves. |

Small Business Marketing Are You Marketing with a Net or a Spear

| When I was back in college, over a decade ago, I decided that when I was done I would run off to Alaska and work in the fishing industry.

Why Leaders Are Successful In Network Marketing And Others Aren't
| |
| All successful leaders have the same attributes and they stay focused on the project at hand. Most people are very fickle jumping from pillar to post and not really knowing why or what they are doing. They tend to blame every other person or thing for their failures instead of looking at themselves and searching for the real problem which usually comes from within.

How To Build An Optimum Mix Of Knowledge Workers And General Assistants
| |
| When do you consider outsourcing most profitable? This is an ambiguous question, considering the general notion that outsourcing by default is profitable. As evolution innately leads to more profitability, outsourcing has also evolved from just giving out all non-core tasks, to a more productive tool that brings in more meaning and profitability to your business.
