It’s hard to believe that a year ago today (5th November 2008) the Secret Women’s Business Network blog was born.
The SWBN itself was born from a germ of an idea a couple of months earlier, but the blog became our official public face and we’ve shared some interesting developments and events over that year; from competitions to crazies (you know who you are), fun stuff to special reports, Cool Tools to interviews with some great business people, and a lot more in between.

The sad thing about this post is that it won’t be read by those that need it most. The newcomer to the internet who is looking for the goose that will lay the golden egg for them.
We were all there once, shiny new in our ignorance, afraid and excited at the same time. Reminds me of the first day I opened the doors on my first business. Even though it was a well established existing business in a prime position that couldn’t help but make money, I was freaking out …
Last Friday, thanks to Twitter, it came to my attention that a particularly nasty article had been written in the Daily Mail by Jan Moir about the death of singer Stephen Gately. I avoid reading newspapers for this very reason – slanted, biased and (as in the case of the Daily Mail which was our family’s newspaper during my formative years) often bigoted writing.
I won’t go into great detail about the article originally entitled (and then changed after the complaints started to reach the Daily Mail) “Why there was nothing …
We’re always quick to shout about bad customer service, so here’s some GOOD for a change.
In the UK we have been experiencing a bunch of postal strikes, and many businesses (including Amazon) have sought out new ways to get mail delivered.
LoveFilm is probably the UK’s biggest internet-based DVD rental company and rely on Royal Mail to deliver their DVDs to customers.

I just watched Chris Brogan’s second vidcast on being An Overnight Success and felt the excitement of being able to say “Yes we ARE doing something about spreading what we have learned with people who need help”.
In fact we are sending out emails shortly to those who are joining us, to put what we know and what they can do, into ACTION.
I challenge every one of our readers to go out and help one person this week using what you already know. Have a chat to your kid’s teacher, or …
I hope it means NO CHANGE at all for you because you have been transparent and ethical in how you advertise your products and your dealings with advertisers. Here’s a quick run down of that they said (and as usual this is not legal advice, get a lawyer for that professional help).
1. Results one can generally expect.
No more of those “I made a milion dollars” unless that is what most people do make from the product. The safe harbour of being able to fine print “results are not typical” have …
Here’s a question, is there somewhere you go because you just love the service you get there?
Today I went to a cafe for breakfast. A cafe that I know is just terrible, but they have all-day-breakfast and you know, maybe they will hit a home run… I mean they can’t be bad all of the time can they?
Well yes they can… they had no sausages for the breakfast, they had no banana for the banana smoothie, they charged me full price even when they didn’t serve what we asked …
