Oh man! This is the kind of thing that I have been wanting to write for ever but never thought I could…

There are so many lessons to be learned about starting, launching and growing a new business. Yes the verdict is out - only about two thirds of new small businesses will survive after two years, and less than half within five, according to the Small Business Administration. The good news is this statistic is better than is used to be...the bad is there are still a considerable number that aren't making it. Sometimes, as women, our lack of confidence in our abilities, or lack

We all have rules… Rules about what we have to do in order to be fulfilled and make money… Who we have to be… How exactly we have to make it happen… So many hidden rules, so many obvious ones…

On the other end of the phone, a prospective supplier was nattering on about a software platform that many of her clients use. I had just said, I don’t use that system and don’t have an interest in adopting it, and gave my reasons. This is a great example of how we (yes, I include myself here too!) can really get off track when talking with someone who is a possible client. It’s tempting to talk about what we know, instead of what the prospective client wants to know. Inst

I’m daunted by the amount of paperwork and filing that accumulated last year while I, as a fine art photographer, pursued Important Marketing Activities. In the meantime, the paperwork remains to be filed, I have several projects planned, and (OMG) even though it’s still early in the year, I’m overwhelmed with feelings that time is running out! In the midst of tax deadlines, I relentlessly admonish myself to finish that filing and organize my home office. Yet, there are

It is very much true that a good FOREX trading course could possibly turn you into a successful and booming FOREX trader. FOREX may be a new word for some of us, so let’s first define what it is.

Now let us understand what makes forex currency trading system the best home based business,

WHAT IS A BUSINESS PLAN? Business planning has had a bad rap! Think of it this way: if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there. A business plan is a blueprint for success. It is a series of specific steps you map out as a path to reaching your business goals. This doesn’t mean that the plan won’t change. However, if you keep your eyes on the prize (your vision), then the more specific you make your roadmap, the greater your chances of reaching your destination.

Internet business opportunities are like saplings. The better nourishment and care they receive, the more green and beautiful they look.

One of the big fears people have about having their own business is that it is risky. And that’s true. I don’t want to minimize that, because you’re taking a risk to put your economic welfare in your own hands. (You’re also taking a risk, and I would argue a bigger one, to put your economic well-being in someone else’s hands, but that’s for another article!) What’s also true is that taking risks to have your own business can be reduced by the choices you make. And having yo

True confession: I was a scientist. I say that because that’s what I did two degrees in, and my early career was spent in that realm. I wouldn’t describe myself that way anymore, but there is one thing about science that suited me perfectly. I’m very curious. And my curiosity is both eclectic and broad. My innate curiosity has served me very well in business. It can serve you too. The basis of all science is curiosity. “I wonder what would happen if…” is behind every disco

The Chinese proverb, “May you live in interesting times,” was never more poignant than it is right now. Every single one of us is undergoing significant change, whether we want to or not.

You’ve likely already noticed that any cracks in your self-worth show up in your business…big time!

I was sitting in my doctor’s office. She’d just done an exam for causes of my vertigo (fortunately benign) and was speedily typing her notes into the computer. A little hesitantly, I said, “I forgot, I have another question”. She immediately stopped typing, and swiveled her chair to face me, expectant. I asked my question, and after fully answering it, she turned back to the computer. Wow, I thought. That was an awesome example of presence. I felt seen. I felt heard. I felt
