them make mistakes; it is reasonable and how they will learn

Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight
- Hi Ladies,
I had an idea on how we could really offer some support to one another here on the Forum.
I thought it might be fun if we invited one of the Ladies here to put her business in the spotlight. Then we could all have an opportunity to do a little Peer Mentoring.
After a specific length of time, we could then open it up for the next woman to present her business.
What do you think? Do you want to be the woman who gets some free tips first? If so, tell us your situation and we'll get started!
I'm looking forward to hearing what you think.
Warmly,
Tami
