It’s time to toot you horn!!
Want to make a woman feel uncomfortable? Just ask about her strengths.
It’s no stereotype: Studies show that women are notoriously bad at promoting themselves.

Making The Most Out Of Networking…
When you are commencing in your own business, attending networking events can be a tad overwhelming. If you compare networking to other forms of new business development, it is less expensive and very effective.
You’ll need to find the right networking event for you and your business. It’s also important to remember that it does take time to reap the benefits of networking. Just like you can’t build a highly successful business or career overnight, the same patience and timing needs to be applied to networking.
For anyone new to networking the most important lesson to learn is that it’s not all about ‘you.’ The key to successful networking is showing interest in other people and what they are doing, genuine interest too. The best networkers have a real interest in people and it shows because they come across as authentic in their interactions.

Wealth Creation For Women
Wealth creation and freedom are no longer a part of the boys club. Many smart, savvy women are now creating financial freedom. Our banks, investment companies and financial planners specifically target these financially sophisticated females. It’s hard to believe that wealth creation for women was an unheard of industry 10 years ago!
When you are starting out, the road to financial freedom can seem daunting, if not a little overwhelming. But like all areas, the key to success is educating yourself, gaining confidence and taking action. I spoke to Dale Gillham, CEO of Wealth Within about this recently. He has some great advice on this topic so please check out his article below.

Financial independence is a goal many strive to achieve, yet only a few accomplish.
A tale from a female entrepreneur…
How I Discovered my Mojo! 
A few years I ago I had a wake up call. I realized that I’d been lied to over and over again!
I was living in NYC working in a stressful job in TV development and trying to secure investment for my wellness company, Bodylove.
Totally under paid as I toiled away at 16-hour days, my only salvation from going insane during the long enduring winter was my local gym. I loved my gym because it was the only luxury I could afford and for an hour a day I felt that I was living at a resort in the Maldives.

Lingerie or Underwear
Recently, after a great girlie trip to the Bunya mountains, I realised that I was sadly lacking in the lingerie department. Well when I say sadly lacking, I mean wearing sexy lingerie is not an everyday event for me. I have always thought lingerie was something for special occasions. Isn’t underwear and lingerie two totally different things? Apparently not.
According to my niece in her early twenties, wearing beautiful lingerie is an every day occurrence. She was appalled that I might consider saving such treasures for evenings of romance. ‘What do you wear the rest of the time, nanna knickers’ she scoffed. Well I wouldn’t have quite called them that.

The new marketing target, Gamma Women
I often catch myself presuming I know my female audience well, simply because I am one. I expect I’m probably not alone in making this common mistake.
Like any major market segment however, shifts and changes are regular and it seems those who continually cultivate a deeper understanding of the modern women, are at the forefront.
Marketing to women is globally big business, with thousands of companies competing in this multibillion dollar industry world-wide. Long gone are the days where women waited patiently for an allowance each week and their buying power consisted of controlling the grocery shopping. Women are now responsible for 80% of all household purchases.
