But I'll save details about my personal soap opera for another day. Advice as generic as my Wednesday horoscope and not based on one minute of true experience won't get us very far. The kind of practical, school-of-hard-knocks tips that will? Check out the re:invention blog.
I learned about this site from another small-business blogger, Rieva Lesonsky, whose admission about her General Hospital addiction (speaking of soap operas) had me at her Luke & Laura headline. About re:invention, Rieva points to a weekly blog feature called "10 Tips for 10 Million Women," which "highlights a woman business owner or executive and her top 10 tips for business success…With 45 articles archived on the blog so far, that’s 450 tips. I know there’s something there for you."
Absolutely. Here are three pieces of advice that hit home for me:
1. "I once heard Zig Ziglar give a presentation and declare, 'To get what you want in life, help someone else get what they want.' Zig is right. The goodwill and positive energy you create from a great referral will always come back tenfold." -- Marie Schuerlein, founder and CEO of Seattle-based Affirmagy
2. "Put away your inner critic who wants you to do things perfectly. As I say to my clients, Perfect is the enemy of done.'" -- Lisa Nirell, Chief Energy Officer of Sunriver, Ore.-based EnergizeGrowth
3. "It's inconceivable that you could have in-depth knowledge of every aspect of your business. Acknowledge your weak areas and surround yourself with competent resources and trusted partners and learn from them." -- Lesely Mattos, owner of San Francisco-based Adesso Albums
