The Spirit of the Female Entrepreneur
I have just got of the phone to one of my favourite female entrepreneurs – who was so excited and full of the exuberance that only we mothers know when we are on our way to our child’s “first ever school excursion” as the most esteemed “parent helper”.
It took me straight back to the early days of my own sons schooling and how proud I was to be able to participate in his first and most precious memories.
Just like my friend whose words were… “The rewards of being able to work for myself and be able to participate make up the “GOLD NUGGETS” in my day.
These are PRICELESS MOMENTS!
In the next breath she was filling me in on the absolutely awesome, gigantic deal she is about to pull off that will set her apart in the entrepreneurial world as one of the best!
As we talked about the campaign and the strategy I felt the gratitude that I and all my female entrepreneur friends feel as we get to experience the best of both worlds….
I wanted to remind us all that our vision, our dreams and goals for ourselves and our families are worth all the effort, the stress, the hardship, the worry – the daily annoyances to reap the reward and benefits of being in control of our own lives and our own destiny’s.
The spirit of the entrepreneurial Mum is alive and well – and today a little boys eyes are sparkling and his heart is singing because his mum had the courage to take their financial future into her own hands.
I feel so proud of her and all of us “spirited women” who are out there making it happen….
I raise my “Latte Glass” to you all
Can We Really Have It All?
The question I hear so often from my women friends is “Can we really have it all?” – “Is there really a way to have both personal and business success?”
As women, we take on so many different roles: wife, mother, friend, homemaker, business maker and it seems we are so often so busy caring for everyone else that we find it difficult to find the time to care for ourselves and dare I say follow our own “passion”. In fact we are often so busy helping everyone else develop their passions that we lose touch with what our own “passion” really is.
Suddenly we find ourselves at 40+ asking ourselves the tough question “Is it too late for me to follow my bliss and find my own passion”
Well I am here to tell you that – yes it is possible. From one who has been there and done it. To achieve the at home mum, lifestyle business – that I call my “Cafe Latte Lifestyle” by finding the balance to be both a successful home based business woman with time and lifestyle freedom and a full time mum…
Running your own home based business gives you the opportunity to utilize all your innate skills. There is no doubt that women are born networkers, communicators, promoters and story tellers… that is why they make the perfect entrepreneurs.
We seem to have been born with the natural tendencies to promote our products and services, especially the ones that we have had personal success with and we naturally communicate trust. The thing that I have found that holds women back most of all is that they just don’t know where to start.
Over the next few weeks I will be sharing with you some of the strategies that I have learned for getting started… You see, what most people do is they get a brilliant idea that they get all excited about… but then you start to have doubts and start focusing on all the work involved and get bogged down in the details.
My advice to you…before you start to get snowed under with all the things you have to do (or in many cases “think” you have to do), there are some simple steps that you can take to push forward – through the ‘doubt barrier’ and start heading for the success that you deserve.
Right now I urge you to put “Develop my Dream Business” at the top of your TO DO LIST… and work towards turning your passion into a real “Cafe Latte Lifestyle”
See you in the Cafes of the world
