Mary Foley - Click Here To Read Mary's Articles - Mary Foley has been increasing her own sanity, confidence and fun since her freshman year in engineering at Virginia Tech. Thankfully, her university experience didn't put her over the edge, but it did cause her to search for a career she loved. She didn't anticipate she would find it as an $8 an hour customer service rep at then-unknown America Online. During Mary'ss 10 year AOL career she thrived on the company;s intense hyper-growth, being promoted four times and becoming the company;s first head of corporate training. Even while experiencing success, her sanity was tested again and again. She survived six layoffs, a difficult marriage, and bumped her head on the glass ceiling (even though she is only 5' 2" tall). Not satisfied to settle, Mary reached deep inside to find her inner courage - the bodaciousness - to reinvent her life. That decision set her on a path where she has never looked back. She went on to earn a Master'ss degree in Organization Development, became co-owner of a human resources company, started her own company, and wrote her first book, all by the age of 36. Today, Mary is the author of three books, a popular national speaker, and former co-host of the Girlfriend We Gotta Talk! radio show. Her latest book, "Live Like Your Nail Color, Even If You Have Naked Nails" became an instant Amazon bestseller. Now, instead of solving engineering problems Mary inspires women with practical advice to create sanity for their lives and confidence for their careers - all while having a bit of fun! Mary is an active member of many local and national organizations including the National Speaker'ss Association (NSA) and the American Business Women's Association (ABWA). In 2010, she was honored as the ABWA Richmond Business Woman of the Year. Mary has appeared on the cover of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine and spoofed on the E! Entertainment TV Show The Soup. Spoofed or not, Mary takes life in stride, declaring "Wearing red nail polish really helps!"

Sarah James-Cyrus - Click Here To Read Sarah's Articles - My name is Sarah James-Cyrus and I am 31 years old.  I graduated as a Trainee Barrister in 2001 BUT  currently working with the Emergency Services sector. This job has been a real eye opener for me. It was whilst working on a Borough and seeing the level of crime, that I felt compelled to try and reach out to some of the youths on the streets today. My motivation to write has stemmed from personal experience, as both my father and brother have been victims of violent attacks. My First Book :My bookDear Diary; Trapped in a Stereotyped World follows the journey of a 14yr old black girl experiencing life in South London. As a typical teenager, she worries about her appearance, is susceptible to naive thoughts, craves a boyfriend and thinks that no one understands her.   There is a contrast of sweet, naïve humour, with the harsh and shocking reality of the streets of London today. The main character is Tia, whose most powerful resources are her stable family and mature mentality. At the beginning of the book, her friend is stabbed and it is at that point that she starts to question everything. Her thoughts start to focus on black on black violence, racism, complexes and her own personal insecurities. In addition I am a freelance writer, please free to check out past articles/sample chapters of my first book on my website. THANKS.

lolly daskal - Click Here To Read lolly's Articles - I am a successful entrepreneur who is offering coaching and training support for the very serious entrepreneur. I can introduce you to a program that has generated much wealth for me and for the entrepreneurs that I have trained in a short period of time. Most people making the transition into entrepreneurship have bad habits, or no habits at all, and working with a millionaire standing over your shoulder will change you quickly, and a 90 day program will make the changes in you permanent. Aspiring Entrepreneurs need to learn and master time management and focus, and there is no better way to do that then learn from someone who's mastered it. I work on a first come first serve basis only. If you are serious about achieving the same level success that I have do not hesitate, but ACT NOW. Your background or previous business history is not a factor. This could very well be the business you have been searching for. EVERY person who follows my simple system consistently gets results. The only thing you need is the DESIRE to succeed. I provide everything else.

Veronika Freeman - Click Here To Read Veronika's Articles - I've been an entrepreneur since 2003. My business, dotcalm, is graphic and print design, and the majority of my clients are women-owned and small businesses. They say I'm a "networking queen" and my self-imposed title of "stress-free design therapist" is well deserved! I have a blog for women entrepreneurs at http://www.WEBlogMV.com. I also have a site discussing elements of strong web design at http://www.WorldWideWebmistress.com. You can see samples of my work at http://www.StressFreeDesign.com; and my second career as a domain name and hosting manager is featured at http://www.dotcalmdomains.com I wish you all much success and please let me know if there's anything I can do to support your mission - I believe in abundance and that there is enough work for all - no competition - only cooperation!
