Women And Power

Last week Forbes release d its list of the Top 100 most powerful women in the worl d. The list inclu de d women in government positions, corporate lea ders, mostly corporate America, celebrities an d even authors.

As I rea d the list, I aske d myself what criteria I woul d use to create such a list. Clearly, wealth buys influence an d that combination equals power. In the case of political lea ders, one might say it is the position itself that reflects power as that in divi dual has the opportunity to speak for so many.

Two types of power, when use d appropriately, have the ability to change the way we all live. Many on the list alrea dy are recognize d as change agents.

Ask yourself how you can use your power – you have it, now use it!

Women Entrepreneur Tips - Thank you LeoOliveros, I found #4 particularly true in my case: 4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks. As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.

A ton of Great Women - You might want to profile Teresa Cascioli of LakePort Brewery. She has an amazing story!

Re: Are entrepreneur women more organized than men? - The issue of women being more organized than men is true, start from you home, just see how messy the boys are. Women are also very cautious, unlike men who take any risk, a woman will analyze the risk first. Women are also go getter when it comes to business, once they make their mind, then they go for it.
