The Smart Women’s Manifesto

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

I have about 29 items on my “to do” list this morning.  I’ve got a teleclass at 12:00 with the National Association of Entrepreneur Moms where I’m going to share the 5 most valuable secrets that I’ve learned over the last  20+ years to take a business from idea and start-up to a six figure income.  Tomorrow I will be hosting my Passion, Purpose, Plan Circle here in Los Angles for women who really want to re-invent their lives and take themselves to a different, more desirable place.

It’s weird though.  I’ve had this nagging feeling all morning.  You know what I mean?  Something’s not quite right but you can’t put your finger on it?  Yeah, that feeling.  I’ve been up since 5:30 and it’s now 9:15 and for some reason I’m feeling the need to describe, clarify, or just write about why I gave birth to Smart Women Smart Solutions over 5 years ago and why I created the Women’s Success Circles and all the other “sibling” programs that came along.

About 10 years ago, when I was in my late 30’s, I began to go through a major transition in my life.  I knew that something was changing inside of me but I wasn’t able to see, clarify or know what it was at the time.  I had lost my passion, my “spark” for my professional life and just felt the “blues.”  After some soul-searching, I decided that I needed to figure out what was next for me—sort of a re-invention I guess.  I went through and developed a process that I used to create a new, passionate, meaningful life for myself.   I also knew that I was not alone.  If I felt this way it was quite possible that many other women probably did too.  I knew that other women might be questioning what might be next for them, ready for a change but not sure how to figure it all out.
