Woman Entrepreneur: Pulling Your Act Together
There you are, in a boardroom meeting with a few of your business colleagues, and in walks a woman. As you observe her, you think to yourself, ” Now she’s really got it together. This woman has got it all figured out. She’s got this one nailed to the floor.” What do you see?

As you know a businesswoman’s appearance is her business card; only much larger in size. It’s also a part of the first impression package. Without even actually knowing someone, you can gather a great deal of information about them: whether they’re confident or not, if they take themselves seriously, if they know what they want, if they are responsible, or whether they’re happy. Of course, appearance says a lot, but it’s not just about what’s on the surface of an individual that matters. Looks can be deceiving, so body language can play a huge role in turning a prospect into a client. Now if you have your superficial act together, then your body language should match. For instance, would you take someone seriously that has all the confidence in the world, but looks like a bum? Not on your life.

In the business world, body language is tantamount to your success. What you are saying must be congruent with the picture you are showing, and role you are playing. Many of us forget, potential clients and business partners are looking for this – especially if they need acne treatment. So therefore you must be congruent, that is you must know what you want, be confident in yourself and what you do, as well as take yourself seriously. This includes looking your best, and staying fit as it exhibits that you care about your well being. This is translated as being concerned about the welfare of others. Clients tend to think, “If they care about their well-being, then they must care about their business.” This means clients and customers. It is important to realize that your clients and business partners are always making connections about you. They are attempting to draw logical conclusions regarding doing business with you.

The brain is our internal switchboard; it’s also our central control. It sorts and applies information about incoming stimuli to decision-making. In many instances, people don’t have any memory to recall upon when making decisions about others. For the most part, the entrepreneur/customer relationship is much the same way. This is especially true when first making contact. The brain works almost frantically sizing up people and situations from a very small amount of information. Although this prospect seems daunting from an entrepreneurial aspect, it’s actually just the opposite. This is your time to shine for the spotlight is upon you.

Three Important Pointers:

1. Eye Contact is Essential: Look at whomever you are addressing square in the eye. This is how you are connecting from a visual standpoint. But most essentially, this says you are solid in your position, are being forthcoming and authentic. “I’m an open book.It illustrates that you are focusing upon what they are doing or saying. It means you are paying attention to them.

2. Smile. Be Energetic and Upbeat. This says that you are happy with what you do. It also says, “If you find out more about me, you will be happy too.” Yes, people are firm believers that happiness is catching.

3. Don’t Slouch. How many times have you heard this growing up? This says you are confident and proficient. Slouching and poor posture is often associated with laziness and irresponsibility.

Being your own boss, and the queen of your empire requires you to think as your clients and business partners do. In other words, instead of looking at yourself face on as in a mirror, view yourself from another perspective—from over there.

Starting A Small Business – How To Find One That Will Produce Instant Cash Profits Anytime You Want

Are you tired of the current program you are on? I mean are you working just too much and need a drastic change in your life for the better? Are you looking to start a small business and get free from a job so you can make some really decent income?

Looking back now, years ago when my kids were young, I could have walked away from my 7 day a week factory job and I could have started making the same money (or better) working just a small part-time business as a house painter.

It’s like that Rod Stewart song where he sings “If I only knew then what I know now”. With all the overtime pay I was making I could still have beat that job by a mile. I could have went to from 56 hours a week to just 30 hours per week with better pay.

As an example, I have been a house painter for years now. If I get slow and need business, I can go out and get something going within a few days. And then I stay busy for weeks or longer. Most of the time longer.

My small, part-time, painting business has been one of the easiest and fastest ways for me to make instant cash. No waiting two weeks or longer for a paycheck, no one to say why are you late again?

No one to tell me that I cant stay home or take a day off anytime I want to. No more having to work with someone that I don’t like. And best of all, if I can’t get the money I want to make, I walk away clean on to the next potential customer.

Have you thought about a small business that produces instant cash flow anytime you need it? A part-time business where you could work just 6 hours a day or less, yet make a full time income? Or just to replace the job you currently have that you absolutely hate?

Just think if you had a way to make an instant $300, $500 or even a thousand dollars or more anytime you needed it without having to borrow it. The power to be able to sit down and write out checks to pay those bills anytime you need to.

To be able to afford to take your wife and kids out to a nice dinner on Friday night or Sunday afternoons. To be able to take a really nice vacation, or buy that new dream car, buy gas, etc.. Before starting a small business you must ask your self a few serious questions. Questions like:

1. What do I enjoy doing the most or know a lot about that I could turn into a profitable small business or part-time business?

2. How much income would I really like to have? (think big)

3. How many hours would I really like to work?

4. How much start-up capital will I need?

5. How can I get an unlimited flow of customers? (this guarantees continuous profit)

6. Can I do this thing anywhere and still make money?

7.) Can I do this just as a part-time business and also make a great income?

The idea is to think big, but at the same time be realistic about it all. Most people think that to start a small part-time business that they will only probably make an extra $500 a week.

Which is not bad by the way. But when you think about Uncle Sam wanting his part plus the cost of gas and the amount of time you may have to spend, only an extra $500 a week may not look all that appealing.

To make a pure $500 a week, taxes will take about 20%. So that drops it down to $400 and if you have to drive anywhere, that could suck up another $50 a week dropping your final weekly profits down to $350.

So the idea for starting a small business or part-time business is to think big. Think low hours, low mileage, big profits. Find a niche market that you already have experience in or would enjoy learning and doing maybe selling the best weight loss pills? It could be anything from an interesting cooking related business to an automotive repair idea or service. The secret is your desire, personal experience and to not be afraid to think big or creatively.
