Franchise Opportunities For Business Women
Twice as many women today are going into business for themselves as men. Will you be one of them?
Here's the real facts of business startup...Most people don't make it.
Why?
Because they don't have a realistic business plan and expectation of what it will take. Often they end up spending themselves into debt while they experiment with different ways to open and operate a business or they don't earn enough to survive for long.
This is where a proven plan and product can be easier, cheaper and more likely to succeed.
One way to do it is to buy a franchise. But there are hundreds out there. How do you know what's right for you?
There are companies that specialize in analyzing franchises. Some are good at it and some will push anything. For my money, I'd seriously consider the one that's turning franchise operators away because they want only the best for their clients. FranNet is one such company - headed up by a woman, no less!
The key to find the right business for you is to know who you are, what talents you have and what interests you. You not only want, but need, a business that is a perfect fit for your interests and skill sets to be the most successful. One of the reasons I like the way FranNet does it is that they act as consultants, actually taking you through a series of questions first to identify a true match.
Whatever you do, plan to succeed by doing your homework FIRST! And remember that you don't have to go it alone. There are coaches and mentors who can help you identify what's right for you, then focus to achieve it.

The Tale of Going From Peanut Butter To Lear Jets
The rags to riches story is always a good one. But how often is the hero of the story actually a woman? More than you might think...
I read this in a recent article from the Daily Progress "it’s nice not to be the only woman in the lecture hall each day. Every woman likes to have girlfriends,” she said." The she was Jamala Massenburg, who was hired as a product design engineer for the Ford Motor Co. After succeeding in her career, she still wanted to improve her credentials. That's when she became one of the increasing, but still small numbers, of women to enroll at Darden School of Business.
Jamala, like many women, found that it was much easier to succeed when surrounded by other like-minded women. Does that mean, though, that you've got to enroll in business school to get ahead? The answer is unequivocably NO!
You can be whatever you want! Many women have proven it.
It does mean, though, that it's easier when you have friends. Many of us have felt that we must do everything ourselves, but the most successful women are often women who found mentors to provide inspiration, motivation and information. Many of these women, after finding success, became mentors to others as their way of giving back.
Kandee G is one of those women. An inspirational and motivational speaker who went from being a single mom who ate peanut butter from a jar to a lady who's flown on lear jets to her speaking events, Kandee G proved woman can change their lives.
Her latest book, Now Boarding: Next Stop Your Remarkable Life demonstrates exactly how a business woman can change her life by change her life by changing her thoughts.
She a guest speaker at the upcoming teleseminar on Tuesday, Sept 4th. All WomenCorp subscribers are invited to attend. Hear Kandee G
