Smart Women Make It Happen

Friday, June 25th, 2010

A few days ago, I happened to get caught in the typical bumper to bumper LA traffic near the location of my last “job” before I began my journey as a woman entrepreneur.  I had some time to reflect on where I was back then and where I am today.  As the images of my life passed through my mind much like the scenes in a movie, I asked myself, “How did I go from where I was back then to where I am today?”  The answer popped into my mind almost immediately:  I took action.  Smart Women make their Big Ideas, Dreams and Goals happen.

Smart Women and the Race Against Time

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Over the last few days, I’ve spent some time with women entrepreneurs who are all having the same challenge—the race against time or “time management.” Whether you are an attorney, a fitness professional or a business coach, time is the like the elusive lover—you can never get enough! Here are a few comments I heard over the last few days:

– “I’m never able to get it all done.”
– “I can’t figure out which “to-do” should be done first.”
– “It only takes 10 minutes.”
