It Doesn't Take A Man To Run A Business

It Doesn't Take A Man To Run A Business: Women Business Owners
Copyright © Kimberly Flores, Rich Mom
http://www.rich-mom.biz


Owning a business used to be a man's world, and many of them still think they have a monopoly on business ownership.
The truth is that as more women enter into the world of business ownership, men are finding that they have to compete with an equal partner who knows just as much if not more than he does about running a business. This is likely the result of more women attending college and pursuing degrees in business that make them at least equivalent to a man in terms of business expertise.

Certainly many men do not like to admit that, but many women have the personal skills to work better with the public than their male counterparts. As women, and especially mothers, we have more patience when dealing with issues than our male counterparts. This is especially true of a retail business that requires a large amount of problem solving.

Does the fact that more women are beginning to own businesses mean that men will feel more of a competitive edge? Possibly, but then again, having a little competition is good for business, and if a man knows his competition is female, he is quite often having his ego tested, so therefore works harder to overcome the fear of a woman-owned business becoming more profitable. The government knows the potential for women-owned business, and as such, they fall under one of the special categories for funding for minority-owned businesses.

Though women are not likely to join the male-dominated construction or car repair-type businesses, they are definitely going to give them a good run for their money in accounting, legal, and medical fields. Law firms, accounting firms, and doctors are all fields once dominated by males, but the last thirty years has shown a boom in the number of women who enter these fields.

In fact, statistics indicate that women are better in business math, which gives them an edge over males in the accounting field. Women are also less likely to back down when pushed into a corner, a quality that makes them good in the legal field. If they are also parents, they are more skilled at determining the guilt or innocence of a client, having faced it at home on many occasions.

With more women opting for business-ownership, men can no longer consider
themselves the "experts" in this vocation. In addition, it's something that should not require the use of gender selection in order to determine abilities, but should be based solely on skills. After all, we have evolved beyond the generation when women's sole function was to get married and raise babies. In the 21st century, a woman has an expanded role, and she assumes that role in her rightful place next to every man who is doing the same function.

3. Your article might also be placed on the publisher's home page. If they publish each issue on their home page this will give you some extra exposure.

4. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher archives their e-zine on their site. People might want to read the back issues before they make the decision to subscribe.

5. You will get free advertising. This will allow you to spend your profits on other forms of advertising. You could buy advertisements in other e-zines that don't publish your articles.

6. You might get extra income from people wanting to hire you to write other articles, books, or even ask to speak at seminars. This is a great way to multiply your income.

7. You could allow e-zine publishers to publish your articles in their free e-books. Since people give them away, your advertising could multiply all over the internet.

8. You will get your article published all over the web when you submit it to an e-zine publisher that has a free content directory on their web site. They'll allow their visitors to republish your article.

9. You'll gain people's trust. If they read your article and like it, they won't be as hesitant to buy your product or service. You will then be able to increase your profits.

10. You could get your article guaranteed to run in an e-zine. You could agree to run one of their articles in your e-zine if, in exchange, they run yours in their e-zine. It's a win/win situation.

The Three Golden Laws of Home Business

The Three Golden Laws of Home Business

Copyright © Kimberly Flores, Rich Mom

http://www.rich-mom.biz

Starting, running, and turning a profit out of a home business does not have to be the tall task that most people make it out to be. While it certainly isn't easy, it doesn't have to be overly difficult either. With a little bit of forethought and planning, even the hardest, most complex of things can become relatively simple.
 

There are three golden laws in running a home business. If followed, these laws will help you create a dynamic home business, one that allows you make a decent living. If ignored, these laws will ensure that your home business does not rise above average operating results.

 

First, plan all the way to the end. You must have a concrete vision for the business. Where will it be five, ten, twenty years from now? What sort of scale will it have? What will it be doing differently, and what things will remain the same? Try to envision all the obstacles that may come up and prepare plans to meet them. To be sure, you will be unable to foresee all the crises that will occur. But mentally, you must be prepared for them as they come. Circumstances should not catch you completely off-guard; you should have a measure of preparation against ever-changing situations.


 

Second, work hard – and make your people work hard as well. With your home business, everything will start with you. You must work to become the greatest, most capable individual that you can become. Spare no expense in your education, within reason, as long as such education is helping you prepare for the future. Then, be sure that you work as hard as you can, learning all the ins and outs of the trade of which you are in. A good work ethic is important to success, and you should not neglect it. A corollary to this is that you should hire people who are just as hard-working as you are. Be sure to set targets for both yourself and others, and measure what gets done. Give reward liberally to those who achieve.


 

Third, utilize the power of personal networks. There is an old adage that says "It is not what you know, but whom you know." While we may rebel against what this truism may imply, the fact remains that worldly success depends on a high degree to the number and quality of people who are kindly disposed towards you. Your personal network, as well as the networks of the people who work for you, should be utilized to their full potential, in terms of advertising and sales efforts. Treat those in your personal network well, provide the necessary services, and they in turn may promote your business to those in their networks.

10 Amazing Ways To Jump Start Your Sales

Today's feature article is:

10 Amazing Ways To Jump Start Your Sales

Visit our sponsor:
-------------------------------------------------------
Would you like to make money online, but don't know where
to begin? Here's 3 easy steps that really work:
http://www.testedtough.com/pips.html
-------------------------------------------------------

1. Find a strategic business partner. Look for ones that
have the same objective. You can trade leads, share marketing
info, sell package deals, etc.


2. Brand your name and business. You can easily do this by
just writing articles and submitting them to e-zines or
web sites for republishing.


3. Start an auction on your web site. The type of auction
could be related to the theme of your site.
You'll draw traffic from auctioneers and bidders.


4. Remember to take a little time out of your day
or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the
difference between success and failure.


5. Model other successful business or people. I'm
not saying out right copy them, but practice some
of the same habits that have made them succeed.


6. Take risks to improve your business. Sometimes
businesses don't want to advertise unless it's free,
sometimes you have to spend money to get results.


7. Include emotional words in your advertisements.
Use ones like love, security, relief, freedom, happy,
satisfaction, fun, etc.


8. Ask people online to review your web site. You
can use the comments you get to improve your web
site or you may turn the reviewer into a customer.


9. Out source part of your workload. You'll save
on most employee costs. You could out source
your secretarial work, accounting, marketing, etc.


10. Combine a product and service together in a
package deal. It could increase your sales. If you're
selling a book, offer an hour of consulting with it.

New Book Reviews:

Women in positions of leadership, from home business owners to corporate executives, will find the words offered in the Great Little Book for the Peak Performance Woman moving and inspirational. 128 pp. Brian Tracey

Something for Nothing - Brian Tracy

Something for Nothing - Brian Tracy

"The worst day in a man's life is when he sits down and begins thinking about how he can get something for nothing." --Thomas Jefferson

The United States of America is the greatest country in the world, and perhaps in all of history. Americans are the most generous people on earth. They give more money to help others than all the countries of the world put together.

America takes in more immigrants each year than all other countries. America produces 25% of all the goods and services in the world with only 5% of the population.

America is the most powerful country on earth militarily, and the only country that has never sought to expand by conquest and imperialism.

And yet today, America is in great danger of losing its moral, ethical and political bearings than at any other time.

In the headlong rush to get something for nothing, America is becoming a national "grabbing match" where everyone is trying to get money and benefits at the expense of everyone else.

In this block-busting book, Brian Tracy explains, step-by-step how we got into this financial fantasyland, and how we can get out -- starting today.
