Another one of our newer WomenCorp partners, Kent Irwin, has published a great article on how to prevent personal financial disasters and how to rescue them if you've already had problems. This is a must-do, a first priority, if you're an entrepreneur or an entrepreneur wannabe. After all, if you can't manage personal finances, how can you manage a business? Real food for thought.
Take a look at Kent's article and then take a look at your personal financial world to see where you stack up.
Have a great day!

Keeping Teens Safe: MySpace in the News Again!
One of WomenCorp's newer partners, Cynthia Bazin, has done it again!
She's got a timely and informative article to help keep kids safe online. Every day lately, we're hearing news about something bad happening to somebody because of Internet activities - MySpace, Facebook, chat, and more. The fact is that a lot of wonderful things happen on the Internet but that's not the focus of national news. It's the bad news we hear first. Let's all work together to eliminate the bad news and start making only good news. Where else but - on the Internet?!
Take a look at Cynthia's article, get started, spread the word, and have a fantastic (and safe) day!

Shhhhh...I've Got a Secret!
WANNA KNOW MORE???
For those of you who wonder what people really do at all those trade shows, I'm gonna tell you their secrets!
I've learned a lot through the years attending trade shows and you can maximize your time and money by learning some of my tricks of the trade (no pun intended there).
Trade shows, targeted properly, can be a great way to market your products or services. But, you've got to do it right. Take a look at my new video and you'll get the idea.

Holiday Shopping: Spending Too Much? Get Fiscally Fit!
Cyber Monday proved to be a big winner for the online retailers. Some reports show that sales were up 21% from last year!
Here's a tidbit from the Associated Press:
"ComScore Inc. reported on Tuesday that consumers spent $733 million online on Monday, a 21% gain from the same day a year ago. ComScore had expected that sales would exceed the $700 million figure."
And who says our economy is not looking up? People are still shopping. That means we're hopeful. We are believing for good things, for money in the bank, for giving to friends and family, and for a great future.
If you're not one of those big spenders because you simply don't have the money, or you were one of the big spenders and know you'll regret it in January, take a look at this video. It's time to get fiscally fit. Make that your New Years Resolution. Instead of losing 10 pounds, add 10 points to your credit score. Add $10K to your retirement account. You get the picture. Subscribe to WomenCorp online magazine and get educated, inspired, and connected. Are You Fiscally Fit? Go here and find out!

Cyber Monday: Focus on Safety
Cyber Monday is here! This is the day when so many online retailers, large and small, offer fantastic discounts, free shipping, and incentives galore to buy your Christmas presents from them.
Since I already did my Christmas shopping (I just couldn't resist bringing that up again!) I didn't do Cyber Monday. But I did think a lot about all those people buying gifts online and hope that they are practicing safe shopping. Sad to say, but there are a lot of scam artists out there now looking to make a quick buck and this is busy season for them, too.
One of our newer partners at WomenCorp, Cynthia Bazin, owner of a security and investigations company, wrote an article in the last issue on Personal Safety and Security Tips. She makes some great points and offers suggestions all of us can use. Check it out!

Christmas Shopping and Black Friday
Did you do it?
Did you get up at 3 a.m. and hit the 4 a.m. sales at Best Buy? Did you sleep off yesterday's turkey and get up with the chickens?
Judging from the early word from the retail world, if you did, you were one of many. Now I don't really need a lot of that stuff right now, and already have some of my Christmas shopping done (or planned), so I didn't hit the sales. Yes, I have already started my shopping! Please, though, don't hate me because I'm practical. You can do it too! Seriously, we had a great Thanksgiving dinner and gathering and there is truly so much to be thankful for. Sometimes, spending that precious little extra time with family on Black Friday is the best way to spend the day.
We here at WomenCorp are busy behind the scenes (since we've already got our shopping done...) planning some fun and profit-focused stuff for the magazine. You have been great to let us know how much you're enjoying the magazine. We have an awesome group of partners and must admit, the content is superb. Next year is already gearing up to be a record-breaker for many of us and we're planning to share our secrets with YOU! That's what it's all about, right? Helping you, our readers, to enjoy the fantastic and profitable life you deserve.
Closing out for today, take a look at one of our newer partners, Kent Irwin and his (yes sir, we now have two men on our partner team!) latest article. At this time of year when we all tend to spend way too much money and then worry ourselves sick in January about how we're gonna recover financially (and lose those 10 holiday pounds), thinking about personal finances in advance sounds like a smart thing to do. Check it out!

Gratitude: The Meaning Of Thanksgiving
If you're reading this, you're probably a lot like me. We've got a lot to be grateful for. Even the ability to read is so easy to take for granted but there are still so many people in the world who can't read. And some who can't see.
When we sit down to list all the seemingly little things - you know, those things we take for granted - it can be overwhelming. With all the depressing things going on in the world, it's truly nice to take a step away from the 24-hour news channel and pay a visit to nature.
I'm grateful for the ability to take a walk in nature, enjoying the fresh air, the beautiful flowers, and at this time of year, the gorgeous fall colors of the trees while they are still dense with leaves. For my family and good health, I'm grateful.
Let's all remember to give thanks this year for all the big blessings and the little blessings and to share some of our blessings with somebody who is struggling right now. This world is full of beauty. Relax and take a look at this video.
You'll love it! Every time I watch it I feel inspired and full of gratitude.
I hope you'll all have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving holiday!

We've Got Issues! Six of them now - Come See...
Time sure does pass fast when you're having fun! It seems like yesterday that we launched WomenCorp magazine. That was three months ago! We just published issue #6 this week and it's chock full of even more over-the-top, you've just gotta have this information. One of our newer partners, Cynthia Bazin, founder of Private Investigation & Security Consulting Agency, The Bazin Group, LLC, shares a few critical safety and security tips.
Joan Stewart, AKA The Publicity Hound, tips us off to a superb idea for publicity using holiday gift guides. Check out her article and you'll get some great ideas.
Pat Lynch of Women's Radio profiles The Breast Cancer Fund and its focus on the environment. Although we hear more and more about men who develop breast cancer, it's still typically women, and we need to stay as educated as possible about the disease, and offer support whenever we can to other women who are struggling with it.
Jody DeVere of AskPatty.com, asks us, "Teen Drivers: Track Them or Trust Them?" You'll find some intriguing information and stats that will get you thinking in this article.
We're planning a couple of surprises during the next several weeks. Be sure to check back regularly and see what we're up to!

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

How to Be Unique in a Competitive Business
The countdown is on! WomenCorp magazine's official launch is right around the corner and we are so excited! Behind the scenes here, there's a whir of activity, keyboards tapping, phones calls being made, last minute tweaks to this page and that, and the satisfying next-to-last check on the publication checklist. You know how that feels, right? When we first got the idea for the magazine, we had to seriously think about how we'd set it up and what we had to offer that was so unique. Going into a business without a plan and without knowing your unique selling points is foolish. If you've already started a business, or are thinking about starting one, take a quick listen to this tip and be ready to hone in on your uniqueness!

Why Acknowledging Talent is Crucial To Survival in Business
One of the leading management experts in the world, Peter Drucker, said "Increasingly the success, indeed the survival, of every business will depend on the performance of its knowledge workforce."
Yet companies are letting talented business women walk out the door every day.
The solution should be clear, find a way to keep them or lose your competitive edge. A large company cannot afford to be without talent. The problem is, old style management treats all employees the same. Instead of acknowledging unique differences, they encourage people to blend in and fit the mold.
Change must occur rapidly or these companies will continue to lose talent, particularly women. The reason for this is that women are tired of the rat race and they're starting to become vocal about it. It's showing up everywhere in women's magazines, bookshelves, radio shows and television commentaries.
Women are tired of doing all and being all without any recognition.
Tom Peters wrote about a National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) survey conducted to find out how women were acknowledged at work. The results were...
28% said verbal
2% said monetary
3% said tangible rewards or incentives
43% said a combination
24% said praise isn't often awarded.
That is why so many women are starting their own businesses. They simply see no point in toiling away for hours to produce results that are never acknowledged.
It's a new day. Women will start new businesses and women will be successful simply because they understand the value of providing emotional support, that feeling of satisfaction from simply being acknowledged, combined with pay for performance to keep their good employees.
Will existing large corporations catch on? Time will tell.
