Increase your sales by as much as 30% just by tooting your own horn! As women business owners, we believe in symmetry. This means we work very hard to keep the emotional playing field level.

Did you know that by 2010 the number of Gen Ys will outnumber baby boomers? Do you have your marketing "hands" on this demographic?

I have been volunteering my time this week interviewing women business owners in order to participate in a fantastic mentoring program. A program that I co-created and co-chair for the Greater Woman's Business Council. It's a complete joy (it must be, I dedicate an entire week to it every year!)

I've recently heard countless business owners say they aren't taking the time this year to do strategic planning for the coming year. They're claiming that because of the slow economy and less business, planning isn't that important or they'll just use the plan from previous years.

To that I say, "what the hell?".
