Dear Entrepreneur,

What can you as a woman business owner do? How can you keep growing your business in today’s economy?

To help you answer these questions, WomenandBiz.com’s guest writers discuss how Being Proactive is key in business success. Furthermore, the columnist and management consultant Jill Kanter, brings up the fact that meditating, finding balance and staying centered is equally important while building one’s venture.

I recently attended the Women’s Leadership Exchange East Coast Summit in New York, and one of the speakers – Mimi Donaldson, empowerment expert, author, speaker and leader, mentioned the importance of being proactive and one way to do it, she says, it is by giving your full attention to your best clients.

In addition to being proactive, finding time to continue learning business and personal skills is as essential, and we are featuring two entrepreneurs whose businesses educate people in becoming the best they can be:

-         Wendy Kaufman, founder of Balancing Life’s Issues Inc., tells her experience in starting and growing her business.

-         Elizabeth Lesser, co-founder of the Omega Institute, and author of “The Seeker’s Guide – Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure” and “Broken Open – How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow”, shares her journey in starting and building her business, and in balancing life and business. She also talks about her inspiration to write her books. [This article will be posted in December]

Please feel free to post comments on the articles you like the most, and share the actions they inspire you to take in order to grow your business.

Happy Holidays and Cheers to your continued success!

All the best being proactive,
