Like all businesses (and individuals) should from time to time, we have been re-evaluating our goals, plans and aims here at the Secret Women’s Business Network and seeing if they still hold true and whether we needed to adjust our course or make changes.
Allison, Barb and I started the SWBN less than 10 months ago and our goals still remain the same:
To teach good solid business foundations (not just strategies).
To enable women to discover their greatest skills and talents and use them within their businesses
To encourage masterminding and collaboration on …

Yesterday’s post generated a bit of private interest in the “why would you need to get help when you know how to do this yourself” kind. It’s a justified question and one that can catch people up at even the highest levels when they believe they can “do it all” because they have been able to do it before, or they have learned all there is to know about a subject.
We know that elite athletes require a trainer to keep them fit and exercised, but what is less well known …
My biggest struggle these days is not motivating myself to work on the online businesses I am setting up (don’t get me wrong though, I am no superwoman and some days ARE a struggle). My biggest struggle is being in the office of my day job, performing work that doesn’t inspire me any more. When you make the decision to go where your heart tells you to go, everything else is ashes.
Be aware of this “downer” if you are making the decision to leave your career/current employment as it can …
This is probably my favourite Photo Friday, because I just love my animals! ~Barb
Barb’s Favourite Trouble Maker
When I was a girl, and well into my teens, my sister and I were horse crazy. Almost every other weekend during the summer was spent competing at horseshows. It was a lot of work but it was a real passion. I was very lucky to have the beautiful horse that I had from age 14 to 18. He was a gorgeous thoroughbred/quarterhorse cross palomino gelding with a beautiful gait and long flowing tail, …
You are casually browsing in a supermarket and you round the corner to see a display set up with a delicious sizzling frypan and small plates offering a free taste of what is on display. What is the thought process that your mind goes through?
That smells nice
It looks really easy to cook
I bet it tastes good with green beans
I needed an idea for tonight’s dinner, problem solved
I’ll buy some
The woman doing the cooking does not offer you the whole thing for free, or a similar lesser product for free. She …
Ever seen someone’s marketing copy read “it’s not your fault“?
The Make Money and Weightloss markets (among others) have built their foundations on this principle. Even if they don’t say it outright it’s implied.
People wouldn’t buy into a weightloss product in their thousands if the implication was they were completely to blame for being obese! They don’t want to hear that their obsession with fast food is what’s making them fat. They want to be told that the chemicals in modern food manufacturing is preventing their weightloss. Or, they have a …
Are you “borrowing” from your business by stripping it of profit every month?
If you are a sole trader, as many are online, it can be tempting and easy to believe that all the money your business makes is yours to spend. And, in a way, you’re correct. After all, it’s just YOU, no employees to pay and no one will know any different. Right?
By treating all your business earnings as your wage, you are depriving it of any future investment and a buffer when times are tougher.* Believe me, I’m …
About a month ago, I started experiencing pain when typing on the computer. Now, this is not a new thing for me, as I happen to have a pain condition, but it had been a long time since the pain was consistently bad enough to stop me from being productive.
I’m doing better now, but the experience did drive home a few things that I thought I should share.
As an entrepreneur, you need to be prepared for the unexpected
In the online world, a sudden inability to type is kinda, well…a big …
I’ve teased this one long enough! Here is the latest SWBN podcast with Susan Lewis chatting about her experiences over the last 6 months as a member of Seth Godin’s exclusive MBA program in New York.
Susan has so much to share about what she has learned over the past 6 months, in what appears to have been a whirlwind experience. She also talks about her plans for the future and some of the projects she has in the works.
