Cash In on Your Feminine Strengths                    By Linda Hollander

You were born with the ability to make your dreams into reality. Being a woman is your base of power, not your weakness. Women entrepreneurs are the fastest growing segment of the economy. We are starting businesses at twice the rate of men and claiming our true economic power. It's not because we've been held back for so long. It's because we're good at it. Here are some ways to cash in on your feminine strengths.

 

•  Nurture Your Clients

 

Women are all about connections and relationships. From the time of birth, women are relationship-oriented. In business, this translates to nurturing clients, listening to their problems and providing great customer service. In sales, women are able to focus on helping others rather than pushing products. They ask poignant questions, learn their customer's needs, and offer extraordinary solutions.

 

•  Develop Your Intuition

 

Some of the most talented business people can read profit and loss statements, but neglect to pay attention to their intuition. Use that famous female sixth sense. If you get a bad feeling about the character of a prospective customer or business associate, heed your body's warning instead of ignoring it. Your first impression is usually right. Listen to your inner voice.

 

You may need to make quiet time to develop your intuition. Have the courage to cut out the “monkey chatter,” the 1,500 words going through your head every minute. If your mind is constantly processing obligations and deadlines, your creativity and intuition won't be able to surface. Quiet time allows you to listen to your own inner voice and move forward with the wisdom it communicates.

 

•  Seek Out Mentors

 

Finding a mentor is the fast-track to success. It allows you to tap into the skills and knowledge of visionaries at a higher level. Many successful businesspeople have had mentors who believed in them and pushed them to excel. Without their mentors, they believe they'd be flipping burgers in a fast food joint.

 

Mentors come in many forms. Some women are lucky enough to find mentors within their own families. For Patti Regan of the Regan Group, a full service marketing firm, it was her father who told her she could do anything, and helped her build her business by strategizing on how she could get clients. Over the years, he offered Patti great advice, inspiration, insight, and breakthroughs.

 

Many successful entrepreneurs have found their mentors high in the echelons of business. Doug Mellinger, CEO of PRT Group, a global software engineering services company, called the “number one guy at Merrill Lynch”. Mellinger simply asked the man at Merrill Lynch to be his mentor, requesting that they meet every six to eight weeks so he could ask for advice and get feedback. The man was flattered by the request, and impressed by Mellinger's persistence. He said “Sure!” Today, PRT has approximately nine hundred employees and eleven locations worldwide.

 

•  Form Success Teams

 

A success team is a group of people who gather at regular intervals to help each other achieve their goals. The group intelligence activates imagination and creative energy. Being with successful people who believe in you and who are actively working on behalf of your success instills tremendous confidence. The members of your success team balance out your strengths, weaknesses, experience, and expertise, and widen your horizons.

 

The benefits of success teams are myriad. You will tap into the resources, skills, and knowledge of the other members. The group intelligence will help you accelerate your goal attainment, giving you a fresh perspective on projects that you are extremely close to. You'll be amazed by the degree to which a synergy of your success team works to inspire tremendous brainstorming.

 

•  Practice Lifetime Learning

 

There's a reason that women are more likely to ask for directions than men. We're willing to learn. We're also willing to change. We seek out ways to better our lives and the lives of the people we care about. Sometimes change can be frightening, but if you're looking for a sure route to personal growth, the best kick-butt self improvement course you can ever sign up for is your own business.

School is never out for the pros. Don't ever become complacent and think that you know it all. You've got to invest in yourself. Develop the mindset of a wide-eyed child always eager to learn new things. Each day brings you new problems to solve, new challenges, new things to learn. Finding mentors, attending seminars, reading books, and forming success teams are all a part of the course.

 

For women, success is the ability to live your passionate life and do it bravely. To be fulfilled creatively, financially and emotionally, cash in on the feminine.

Praise for Women's Community from Women in Business
Free Teleconference…

I'm inspired!   Thank you for including me in your telecall.  I look forward to staying current with your progress.  And to receiving your application to become a Specialist. 

The call infected me with possibilities for how I can contribute to our business, Birch Corner Associates, LLC, from my side.  I've had a thriving therapy practice since Bob and I launched our business a year and a half ago.  While the income from that work has been critical through many transitions, I've yearned for the time and way to reestablish my coaching business.  The Women's Community may be the way for me to do that!

Thank you.  I appreciate your incredible energy, perseverance – and belief in the Power of Women!

And I look forward to staying in touch. – Peggy MacArthur
