Smart Women, American Girl® and Building Your Brand

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

A few weeks ago, I took a vacation with my family to New York City. While there, we visited the American Girl® store. My daughter Jenna loves this store, and it’s easy to understand why so many girls are attracted to this brand. When you enter the store, the “experience” begins. This got me thinking about how Smart Women could learn from American Girl® how to build a business image or brand that lasts.

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 Take The Leap

The other day, I was listening to one of Madonna’s great dance tunes, “Jump.”  It’s a fun song that makes me want to jump up and dance around the room.  It also motivates me into thoughts about the “jump” in my own life–to take the leap to the next level.  This got me thinking about how Smart Women take the leap into realizing their Big Ideas, Dreams, and Goals.

Smart Women Know What They Want

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Last week, after my husband Greg read my article “Smart Women Are a Lot Like Rocket Ships,” he had an interesting question: He said, “Every week you write about the same thing–making your Big Idea happen, Reaching your Goals and Dreams, getting the right support, blah, blah, blah… when are you going to write about something else?”

Being a woman who encourages new ideas and new perspectives, I went to take a bubble bath (a nightly self-care ritual!) and reflect on his question.
