Starting Over - Hi, I live in Australia and for the past 7 years I've been part of a consortium working in Australia and the UK on radical change in the education sector - developing ways of improving student engagement to the end of improving student, teacher, parent and school satisfaction and results. The results have been very positive and pretty amazing but my interests have been moving increasingly to my own expertise of developing leaders and facilitating change in people and organisations outside of the education sector. Therefore last October we agreed that I could remain part of the consortium but develop my own practice as well (the other two members are doing the same and its a good arrangement for all of us). I'm now facing the challenge of re-establishing myself and of developing a "web presence" - quite an interesting task for someone in their late 60's! Its fun and I'm learning a lot. I'd welcome any inputs or suggestions.
Looking for business partners. - Hello Entrepreneurs, I'm new to this forum. I am from India and looking for business partners and mentors for my ongoing business venture since last five years. Now we are expanding our business with different countries. The business is related to the Software development / website designing / ecommerce solutions /online marketing sector. Anyone who has management skills, entrepreneurship skills or who has experience in the software development sector, feel free to contact me. I am open to any discussion/suggestion and about my plan. Let’s get this business started.
World Recession - The latest recession has started to affect the main markets of the world but many predict it will reach developing countries soon in a big way. Does anybody know whether this is due to a natural economic circle or it was really meant to happen that way by the so called "secret meeting of bankers and powerful people"?

Are you Self Employed or a Business Woman? - Us women are especially vulnerable to thinking we can do EVERYTHING ourselves! I'm not immune to this way of thinking either. (It seems to go with the territory of having XX chromosomes and growing up in our North American culture.) Anyhow, this kind of thinking can actually trip us women up when it comes to business. I've heard it said that a true business is something you create that can eventually run by itself. A business is meant to give us freedom and not tie us down. A business works FOR YOU. If you are the one working FOR YOUR BUSINESS, then I invite you to open up to the possibility of using your entrepreneur skills to recreate a business that works for you. When I was first challenged on this concept, it was a huge AHA moment. I am grateful because I realized I was still a little stuck on working harder instead of working smarter. I've opened up to a whole new world of possibility and now I'm thinking MUCH BIGGER than before. I expect my income will be much bigger as well. In all honesty, I've realized that my coaching business has been a glorified job. I will still do coaching because I love to do it, but now I am in the process of developing multiple streams of income that use my time more efficiently and products that sell even while I'm on holidays. I'm also developing a retail store which will eventually mostly run itself. Then I will move on to my next project. It's liberating to be on the path of creating businesses that work FOR me. This is how I can run multiple companies without wearing out! In fact, I plan on having MORE time for me. So, what are you doing? Are you self employed or running a business?
