My Best Business Advice

I think that challenging our beliefs brings the opportunity to advance our business and ourselves. I guess these are "fierce conversations" with ourselves. What is my belief about sales? What is my belief about success and how much I can have? What is my belief about how business should be conducted? Are these beliefs working to advance my business or are they holding me back? If they are not serving me well, what would I like to believe instead? I think our beliefs/thoughts are the things that hold us back the most.

A farewell send off for Tery

Thank you! It's been a pleasure being part of such a wonderful group of entrepreneurial women! I wish everyone all the best with their businesses.

This morning I met with Janet, Mary Ann and Nancy at Chompie's for a breakfast. We did a live podcast. Victoria was there in spirit. Please have a listen to our podcast.

You if you don't want to type using gabcast.com is very easy. You use your phone dial an 800 number and it creates your podcast. You can pick up the code easily from gabcast and cut and paste it into blogger's edit html tab. Let me know if you have any questions.

Best wishes!
Tery

My best business advice....

Since we all have different backgrounds, I thought it would be wise to compile our brilliant thoughts together. My best business advice is..... Please share yours.

Creativity and criticism are your best friends when it come to growth. When someone criticizes your work, shake off the feeling of worthlessness and analyze their review to see if they have a point. Chances are others may be feeling the same but haven't said anything. Further, it helps to take your ego out of the business and focus on what is best for the business instead.
