Looking Back Planning Ahead

March is National Women's History Month. Why women's history? Because every girl and woman has the right to know that another of her gender has gone before her and that her dream has potential. Recognizing not only the challenges but also the achievements of women in hsitory provides the foundation for every female to chart her own course. Respecting the journey of those who fought for the vote and the right to be educated and to receive equal pay encourages us to push harder in our own paths. Whatever your dream is, remember those who have gone before you. Now it is your turn to make history. There are more than 10 million woman-owned businesses in the United States and the number continues to increase. Starting your own business is all about making your own history.

Re: Quote of the Day - "If you hesitate, some bolder hand will s Re: Quote of the Day - "If you hesitate, some bolder hand will s - Excellent quote, Evan. This reminds me of the saying, "The early bird catches the worm." It's important to act on impulses, rather than hesitate and plan. Planning isn't a bad thing and is warranted in certain cases, but those who act quickly will get a step ahead of the competition.
Nice List Nice List - Nice list, and I agree with everything you all have added! Planning is the biggest one of all! Look at everything from every aspect possible, and then ask others to look at it as well. It's extremely important that you consider everything before jumping into things, and it goes so much smoother! Also, some young entrepreneurs tend to have an unrealistic mindset (I can sell 4000 of this product in my first week!). Make sure you know what you're getting into, and don't expect something that won't ever happen. ~Marie
