CAREER

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Guy Kawasaki, world-famous entrepreneur and author, who I have followed for some time, and admire. Why Guy Kawasaki on Women On The Fence you may ask? Because he has been a huge supporter of businesswomen and mompreneurs for years, and he has insight for us all.

In his new book, Guy discusses a concept that we can adopt in our everyday lives to be more successful… at home, at work, with our partners. That concept is… enchantment. Because the goal of this blog is to always push you off the fence and self improve, here is a concept which you may enjoy.

“Every year, we at Women’s Post compile our list of the Top 20 Women of the Year. Some of these women are well-known while some operate under the radar. Some have made a spectacular contribution to their industry this year while others are women to watch for in the year to come. They are from different industries, backgrounds, and all have unique characteristics that make them truly great women. Read on for some inspiration and snapshots of our picks.”

I’m thrilled to remind you that tomorrow, Wednesday, January 19th, 1:00 -1:30PM will kick off my weekly radio segment where we can talk business! You will be able to CALL ME with your business start-up questions and I will answer them live, on air. And it’s not just for women. IT’S ALL START-UP and that includes MEN too!

Starting Wednesdays 1:00 -1:30PM, I will be the Weekly Business Start-Up Correspondent for The Kim Fraser Show, on CJAD Talk Radio, AM 800. You can also listen live www.CJAD.com.

I was shocked and thrilled to see this posted on Twitter last night. Suzy Welch, author and wife of Jack Welch, famous businessman and former Chairman & CEO of General Electric, posted this about my new book, 99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Starting Their Own Business.

And for those that asked, no, I never sent her a copy of my book. She bought it off Amazon herself and then surprised me last night.

I’m ready for a successful 2011. I love new beginnings. Tabula Rasa – a clean slate to start over and make it right.

2010 was an interesting year. And although I am on vacation, I couldn’t end off 2010 without a recap of a few life lessons learned, memories shared, milestones celebrated, and tough times endured. 2010 was without a doubt, the most interesting year of my life. This was my year ‘off the fence.’ Euphoric at times, to be honest. To have received a second chance to build something from nothing, was a truly a dream come true. That’s what 2010 was for me… something from nothing.

Starting every Wednesday 1:00 -1:30PM, in the New Year, I will be the weekly business start-up correspondent for The Kim Fraser Show, on CJAD Talk Radio, AM 800, or CJAD.com. The show has 150,000 daily listeners, and you will now be able to CALL ME with all your business startup questions. So many of you MomPreneurs, businesswomen, small business owners and others have asked me how we can connect. So now, I am thrilled to be accessible to you on the air… LIVE. And it’s not just for women. IT’S ALL START-UP and that includes MEN too!

This aired last week on CTV. For all women looking to get motivated in the right direction. Enjoy.
