Working in Groups: How Do You Feel?

by Barbara on January 23, 2012

Check out this piece from Jezebel:  “Working in Groups Makes Women Feel Dumb”.  Does it make you feel dumb, or just lose patience because others can’t keep up? I’d love to hear more about how you feel about working in groups.

I Didn’t Ask for It. And YOU Get It!

by Barbara on December 22, 2011

The Year End Quickstart Sale is on!

I didn’t ask for it. I didn’t ask for anyone to help me kick off a year-end sale of the “How to Ask for Money Quickstart Program”. But it happened.

Today in ForbesWoman, Erica Nicole writes a nice piece called “How to Ask for What You Want–And Get It All“. It includes some great advice around making a list of what your business needs, a list of experts who can help you get it and asking for 5-minute  phone calls from each. A pretty cool strategy. And fine, if you are completely over your fears of asking.

Which is where I come in.

Starting today you can get 50% off the How to Ask for Money Quickstart Program, the quickest way to start banishing your asking-for-money fears, and to grab a whole pile of tools to give you the confidence to get your business growing. Head on over to the Year End Sale page for all the scoop.

If you’re  serious about getting it all this year, you need to crank up your courage to ask for it. The Year End Quickstart Sale is the perfect time to get everything you need to start doing just that. But hurry…this great offer will go away soon.

July 10, 2011

We hear it every day. “Buy this product/blueprint/system/whatever, and simplify your life!” Now really, how can buying and having more stuff make your life simpler and easier?

Then she said that women should “take a page from men and own their own success.” Why do we need to “take a [...]
