Women at Work

Where are women in the business market place today? While many work in offices and retail stores, etc 3 shifts or the regular work week 9-5, others are getting creative and stepping out on the ledge so to speak. More and more they are starting up small businesses. Years ago we wouldn't think of getting gutsy in the business world.

 In Society today, There are two kinds of small business owners: Those who have the right attitude for success,who aren't afraid to take the bull by the horns, make a few mistakes to learn what they did wrong, and accept advice from peers to gain strength and get stronger.... and those who don’t. There are any number of reasons why people get into entrepreneurship, but some people get into it without realizing that they’re not actually cut out for this difficult work. Owning a business is no cup of tea for a lot of people....sure it sounds easy....but trust me, with dreams come the realities, sometimes good, and other times quite straining to ones mind. IT takes a lot out of you and with advertising and marketing alone, the costs and budgets fly high leaving some people to wonder "how am I going to do this?" ......When in fact the question a true believer will ask is "what steps do I need to take to get there?" OK, so that is the positive business owner.

 Meanwhile, others are seemingly born for this, having an instinctual proficiency for running a business and building it into something big. Sure big takes time. Rome wasn't built over night, but I'll bet they had awesome blueprints? However, even if you aren’t a natural businessperson, this doesn’t mean that you are necessarily doomed to fail. It’s all about what type of attitude you take toward your business, and practically everyone is capable of finding that right mindset. Gather your thoughts, take a deep breath and know that I started my own small businesses. It does take hard work everyday, but at the end of the day whether I win or lose, I know that I pushed myself to the limits and learned more today. Never fear asking for help or advice, in the business world, I am a proud woman who accepts advice and can also take ridicule. He who laughs, laughs last....I sell panties and lingerie for a living and I love it. Simply Delicious Lingerie was a dream that I had because I was tired of seeing women getting treated poorly if they weren't pretty enough, or skinny enough, or smart enough. Ladies, I am no beauty, and I have had my share of problems, come close to failing, but the words "No" "Quit" and "Fail" are 3 words not in my vocab, therefore, I find a way to rise above and just be me! Simply Delicious Lingerie is for the woman who is beautiful on the inside, but who doesn't know quite how to make that glow sparkle on the outside.....it's not all about the sexy lingerie, it's about how confident the woman wearing it is! I hope to make a difference.

If you think you can do something, you should try it.....no time like the present, and you can't fail if you don't try!Here are a few steps about success:

Understanding & Accepting that You Will Succeed

The first and most important element of a successful attitude and great peace of mind is to know that you are going to make it no matter what. See the glass half full! Many people are so filled with self-doubt that they hobble themselves from the beginning, lacking the confidence to take the bold steps and committed action needed to get a business off the ground. In contrast, when you are absolutely certain that you are going to succeed, you proceed with a great degree of self-assurance, and in many cases that self-assurance in itself leads to business success.

Meanwhile, having faith in your own success also helps you get through those difficult moments where the profits aren’t rolling in as you wish they were. People who aren’t cut out for this work tend to fold at these moments, telling themselves, “Well, I gave it my best shot,” and then calling it quits. What? Why? believe it or not, it happens, a lot.  However, if you truly believe in yourself, you will persevere through these moments, making the necessary adjustments to become profitable and keep growing. My grandmother used to tell me, "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door!" Let me tell you....."I have built plenty!" I keep on knocking and knocking! I network and mingle and do what ever I can to get my business name out there.

Must Have Determination and a Hard Work Ethic

Of course, a lot goes in to running, and building your own business whether it be a franchise you have purchased or something created by you from the ground up. Honestly, if confidence were the only thing necessary for business success, then business would be easy, but there is more to it than that. This is a tough world! Successful entrepreneurs aren’t just confident; they also love their work, have passion for it, and approach it with an unquenchable determination. Not everyone can achieve this type of attitude. Successful people even revel in temporary failure, in a way, as these setbacks can prove instructive and, for a smart business owner, can lead to greater success. There are times when I felt as if I took three steps forward to take two steps back. It's never fun, but we learn. You push yourself harder, and you set higher goals.

In reality, it’s more than just an overall, philosophical love for one’s work. It’s also about having the right attitude to stick it through the daily bump and grind. Especially if you’re going to be running your business from home rather than from a traditional workplace, getting up every morning and setting to work with determination can become challenging at times. If you want to be successful, you’ll get through these moments. I get slack all the time from people..."Oh you get to sleep in" and "Oh, you don't have to fight the traffic from bed" Let me tell you something, as a single mom for the past 13 years, raising kids, putting them through private schools and college and to study abroad, I worked my ass off. I worked 2-3 jobs because education is an important gift and something every child should have. I didn't sit around with my feet up eating "Bon'Bons" all day....I was on the go go go. I worked 50-60 hours work weeks, cleaned the house, cooked the meals, and paid my bills....oh, and had cancer 4 times and had to deal with that. today with my businesses it's even more difficult and the hours are longer....it's not easy, and anyone who thinks that it is should seriously try it sometime. Owning my businesses had made me very strong both physically and mentally. Furthermore, anyone that can sit back and say that I am not a strong person truly doesn't know me or the strength and determination I have within, so sit back and look out. I have energy, strength, and an army of determination!  Journey once sang, "Don't Stop Believing" .....anything worth having is certainly worth fighting for! Nothing in life is easy, if it was, we'd all own a business.

In closing, to make a small business work, you have to be able to do this in the long run. Anyone can keep a positive attitude for a few weeks or even a few months, but to sustain it over the course of years is the real challenge. If you think you can do this, then starting a small business may be the perfect course for you. Find your inner strengths and your weaknesses and focus on each of them. I still make my list of "Pro's" and "Con's" before I take on a new task. Think smart, and don't put your buggy in front of the horse! You'll get run over and burn out. Like a candle, there are times where I burn at both ends,...not good for you, certainly not healthy, or so everyone keeps telling me....If owning a small business were so easy, everyone would be doing it. Set your priorities, gather your thoughts, have a solid business proforma and great moral support! Your key to success depends on you.

Women of the 21st century are setting out to establish their share of the market. Did you know that women are increasing their presence in the marketplace as successful business owners. In fact, women make up 40% of all entrepreneurs today. As they quickly approach their male counterparts, women face different decisions and challenges when becoming an entrepreneur.  Confidence is a MUST!! Ladies, if others are putting your ideas down, these are not the people to be around. Your friends and family should support you, if they don't it's time to reevaluate!

Why Men Make Relationship Mistakes....

“One day you’re gonna want her. That girl that knew she wasn’t perfect, but tried to be for you. That girl who wanted nothing more than to be there for you, and loving you was the only way she could. The girl who sees your flaws, but values them as much as your strengths. That girl who still can’t bring herself to hate you, even though sometimes you probably deserve it. The girl that should have you, but doesn’t.”

So why didn't she get the guy? I've got 4 reasons that are pretty simple.....read them, and learn from them, and perhaps this will help someone else "not" make the same mistakes.....nevertheless, life is about learning, and mistakes.....they are what makes us grow....after all, we are only human.

REASON #1 - THEY'RE STUCK AND CANNOT GET OVER A PAST RELATIONSHIP 
 Sound familiar anyone? Ahhhh the ole' "you're everything I wanted but now isn't the best time." Anyone every heard that excuse? In most cases with men their relationship that didn't work out simply because of some stupid mistake that he felt really bad about it. Naturally, the relationship fails, thinking that talking would help him sort his feelings out but he's too proud to do it.

Unfortunately,if you snooze you loose gentlemen so take my advice and lay all the cards on the table....then if the relationship is truly over walk away, take time off from dating to get your head turned back around and move forward learning from this relationship and its mistakes so that you don't duplicate them in the future.

REASON #2 - THEY WEREN'T EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE
It's a sad statistic, but 80-90% of the single men you meet aren't ready or willing (or both) to handle a serious relationship. That's why shortly after the relationship starts, things go downhill and end in a break-up. These men weren't suited to handle a big commitment to begin with! Men who fall into this category include players and guys who prioritize work over relationships. It's too bad, but there are a lot of single men out there who "could have been" great boyfriends -- it's just that their hearts and minds weren't ready for you at the time!

Again, there's little you can do DIRECTLY to change the minds of these men, I call them boys, because they sure as hell don't know how to act like a real man. Even if you did manage to get them to commit to a relationship with you, it's often only a matter of time before they fall out of love with you.

REASON #3 - THEY'RE REALLY NOT HAVING MUCH FUN
With  the first two reasons, we talked about the two biggest problems that men have about commitment, and how they keep them from staying in a relationship with you, no matter how good you think the relationship may be going....are you following me here? If you've noticed, I mentioned in the first two reasons that trying to DIRECTLY change his mind, such as by trying to make him talk about the problem, or trying to force him to commit to you, or by criticizing, or by arguing, or by begging, or WHATEVER... ...it DOESN'T work! I will backfire on you and YOU WILL be left with nothing!! BACK OFF LADIES! It's easy to think you're doing the right thing -- after all, the best way to solve a problem is by taking a scientific, logical, step-by-step process to solve it, right? Hell no, we open our yap and it all comes out, foot in mouth..over and over and over again.

 When you try to approach your relationship problems in this manner, you're simply taking the focus AWAY from the relationship and putting it ONTO the problem. In your case, the problem will only get bigger and bigger.

And, as I keep saying, what you focus on GROWS! The relationship becomes less and less fun for him, until the point of where he begins canceling dinners, and date nights becuase 1) He'd rather stay in alone, or 2) He'd rather be with the boys in the land of the living where there are no rules! Believe me gals, when he's in a relationship that's not fun, he'll inevitably start looking for his enjoyment elsewhere. It's often that simple which is why I believe this is the biggest reason why so many guys leave the women they love.

REASON #4 - FIX THE PROBLEM, AND FIND THE SOLUTION! 
So here's my TWO CENTS, don't focus on the problem. Focus on the relationship! Honestly it doesn't matter how good your intentions were, if you try to fix the relationship the wrong way, then bad things happen.

Do you know why he doesn't like talking about the problems in your relationship? It's simply because he's a guy and his pride is hinged on the health and happiness of the relationship he's leading. When you corner him and try to talk about any problems, you're basically indicating that he's not doing too well of a job! That's why guys don't like talking about the problems. And that's why, when you ask them if anything's bothering them, they just say, "Nothing, I'm fine" -- even if they're really troubled. SO WHAT'S THE RIGHT WAY? Ladies, let's face it....there are some relationship problems that you can fix, and then there are some you simply cannot.

Sometimes, you really don't have a choice but to let him go. But guess what? That's not really a bad thing! No relationship should ever take that much work to make it right.....if things aren't heading in the right direction now, they won't be. It usually takes a while for him to sit back and realize something.....by spending so much time on this "bad" relationship of the past, he very well may have just lost the best part of his future......if it's real love, it will never die, nor will it fail you.

Top Ten Things Men Find Super Attractive with Women

When it comes right down to it, women want to know.....what does a man find so sexy and attractive about me? On the contrary to us wanting to admit it, we ask this question again and again...and we really never understand what it is that make men like us? Until now.....I've got the answers. They were not at all what I anticipated, and in addition to my responses, none were obscene like I had almost imagined they would be,...rather quaint, and respectable.

1. You are affectionate and caring. Even though men won't admit that they love to display public affection, deep within them is the feeling of wanting it more often. Show them some love.

2. You are delicate. Yes, you read it right. Men love to take care of women. Not financially, but in a way that makes her feel so special and cared for. This brings out men's egos. They feel like they are the protector. In this way, they feel so manly and superior.

3. You can cook your way right into their heart and stomach...... "The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach," is true. They will love you to death if you cook for them. Guys love to be treated special, so cooking for him would win his heart and he'll love when his stomach is full. He will be singing your praises!

4. You are quite humorous. Although they want the soft side of you, they love to see you smile....especially  when you are in the sunlight. Men admitted to me that this is a complete turn on to see a silhouette of a women's soft skin in the natural sunlight. Laugh,.... Hey, you may crack some jokes; this can make them feel comfortable whenever they also want to joke around. This is also a great way to break the ice! Show off your silly side!

5. You are creative. Guys love the natural side of women when she can transpire inner strength and knowledge of how to be productive and creative. Doing things that might be gutsy makes women seem attractive and fun to be with.

6. You are adventurous and spontaneous. Men are thrilled whenever women try new things without hesitation. Girls who are brave and have a free spirit are less of a burden to men. Approaching things in life fearlessly is what guys are looking for in a prospective date. Indulge in the romance.....it makes the adventuresome part seems so much more rewarding and exciting!

7. Girlie girl turns tomboy. Men love the "dude" inside of you. There are times when guys need a little time off and need someone who could understand them. I;m not saying you need to be one of the guys, I'm saying watching a sporting event may bring out the "sexy" in you (in his eyes).....and quite the turn on that you enjoy watching a game together! Your boyish traits make them feel that they have a guy friend in you. Also, your tomboy side can make them find you interesting.

8. You are incognito. Men consider your mystery as a challenge, and men love challenges. It is like playing the hard-to-get game of the 60's. This will keep them constantly interested in you. They don't want to end the fun just yet. They like the chase and you like playing hard to get!

9. You are quite the fashionista. Whether you are on a date or just strolling down the mall, your look will always be the main attraction. Always look available and fabulous. Men love to see the shape of your body, your flawless legs, and the curves of your breasts. Be realistic, men are really sensual and have somewhat dirty, naughty minds.

10. You wear your Choo's well. Men love your sexy look whenever you wear your pretty stilettos. It brings out the curves of your body and makes you walk like a hot top model. All women love feeling like this....It's sensual, sexy and seductive. What a way to please your man. This really makes you a bit flirty....yet still a little old fashion. This makes you, every mans dream.....whether they like to admit it or not. Men don't really want to end up with a loud mouth trampy type gal, they want a respectable woman that can adhere to their needs, be their partner, and the one to step in and take charge when you need to step away.

Business Lunch Etiquette

The Waiter Rule

Ahhhh the rules......Believe it or not, what you do in front of your office staff says a lot about who you are, and an easy way to discover this is to watch how you treat people outside of the office. How about at a business lunch?  Do not disrespect the wait staff! The "waiter rule" is quite simple. It says that how a person treats the waiter or waitress shows his value system and who he really is inside. During a friendly lunch with a manager, an employee is going to be on best behavior. The way he treats the manager is not an indication of who he really is. When he is rude to the waiter, it shows that he is quite willing to be rude and condescending to people with less status or in service positions. An employee who is polite to the waiter or waitress shows that he values common courtesy and will treat those working under him well. He is more likely to get a promotion than his rude colleague.

1) Treat restaurant servers with respect. 2) Remember to say "please" and "thank you."

Business Lunch Etiquette

When dining with co-workers and business associates, basic table manners and the rules of restaurant etiquette apply. In addition, there are other considerations to remember when networking.

• Even though it is lunchtime, recognize that recognize that it is still a work environment. Do not say things at lunch that would not be said in the office, because they may be repeated in the office.
• Do not gossip about absent colleagues.
• Do not berate the boss or the business. Have some respect, and if there is nothing nice to say, say nothing.
• Continue to take work seriously.

Drinking Alcoholic Beverages

Sometimes there is a fine line between appearing so stiff-necked you can't have any fun, and getting drunk and being a fool. Giving others either impression will result in being un-included in the future.

• Never, never , never be the only person drinking.
• If everybody is drinking at lunch, have one and nurse it slowly, or order something non-alcoholic.
• At lunch, it is easy to say with a laugh and a smile, "I can't, I have to go back to work!"

Get More Calcium!

What is Calcium and why is it so important to our bodies? Calcium is a mineral that the body needs for numerous functions, including building and maintaining bones and teeth, blood clotting, the transmission of nerve impulses, and the regulation of the heart's rhythm. It is quite essential that we all have it. Lacking it could cause health concerns down the road. Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in the human body is stored in the bones and teeth. The remaining 1 percent is found in the blood and other tissues. Don't you want to maintain your body? We all want strong teeth and bones. I know that as I begin to get older, I notice that I am lacking vitamins and nutrients. I've been trying to take in more Calcium,....this includes eating more greens. I did some research for you because I am not the expert here. I actually learned a few things from this article. I want to feel 40 when I'm 60 so I am paying attention to what I need.

The body gets the calcium it needs in two ways. One is by eating foods or supplements that contain calcium. Good sources include dairy products, which have the highest concentration per serving of highly absorbing calcium, and dark leafy greens or dried beans, which have varying amounts of absorbing calcium. Calcium supplements often contain vitamin D; taking calcium paired with vitamin D seems to be more beneficial for bone health than taking calcium alone.

The other way the body gets calcium is by pulling it from bones. This happens when blood levels of calcium drop too low, usually when it's been awhile since having eaten a meal containing calcium. Ideally, the calcium that is "borrowed" from the bones will be replaced at a later point...but, this doesn't always happen. Most important, this payback can't be accomplished simply by eating more calcium.

When most people in the United States think of calcium, they immediately think of milk. But should this be so? Milk is actually only one of many sources of calcium—dark leafy green vegetables and some types of legumes are among the other sources—and there are some important reasons why milk may not be the best source for everyone. Lactose intorerant, High saturated content, and now they are even saying that there is risk of some ovarian and prostate cancers.How? High levels of galactose, a sugar released by the digestion of lactose in milk, have been studied as possibly damaging to certain organs.

Despite the debates surrounding milk and calcium, one thing is clear: adequate calcium—both for bone development and for non-bone functions—is key to reducing the risk of osteoporosis. However, the healthiest or safest amount of dietary calcium hasn't yet been established. Different scientific approaches have yielded different estimates, so it's important to consider all the evidence.

Maximum-calcium-retention studies, which examine the maximum amount of calcium that can be forced into bones, suggest a fairly high requirement. To ensure that 95 percent of the population gets this much calcium, the National Academy of Sciences established the following recommended intake levels:

• 1,000 milligrams/day for those age 19 to 50
• 1,200 milligrams/day for those age 50 or over
• 1,000 milligrams/day for pregnant or lactating adult women

What are my thoughts? I want what he's having! Bring on the milk!  Do these sexy ads make you take notice?

Gold Digger or Sugar Baby?

So, what is the true definition of a "gold digger?" Many wonder this, and although we've talked about this before, someone asked me to define it again.....so here goes......The modern definition of a gold digger is a woman who associates with or marries a rich man in order to get valuables from him through gifts or a divorce settlement. Money hungry whore is a better name., but lets be nice and keep it PG material.

The gold digger scenario is not a relationship, per say. Her age could be young or older. It is a one sided affair specifically generated by the female to snare the rich male, to fleece him of his wealth for her own. As long as there are women in the world, a proportion of them will be strictly out for themselves. They want, want want and thy probably won't stop until they get it. They have no feelings emotionally so to speak for the man......actually, they couldn’t care less for the man, as long as he showers her with wealth and gifts, and wouldn’t hesitate to leave him the minute she gets cut off. She sees the man as a male walking ATM machine, and what’s in it for her. So so wrong....

So you wanna be a "sugar baby?" Prepare to enter the world of money, and  sugar daddies. Beware before you do: Make certain that you know the true understanding of what one is and how this works.This is a mutual relationship between a rich older man and a woman, usually a younger woman at that. The term sugar daddy is a modern variant of the word daddy. Daddy describing the age difference between the couple, and prefacing it with sugar, which is the gifts given. Hence the name, Sugar daddy! So, the modern definition of sugar daddy is that of a wealthy, usually older man who gives expensive gifts to someone much younger in return for companionship or sexual favors. However, not all men want sexual favors, in fact I know plenty who are just lonely and want companionship....someone to dine with, or to go to the theatre with, etc. It is not always about the sex.

The biggest difference between a gold digger “relationship” and that of a sugar daddy/sugar baby is that, in the sugar daddy relationship, it is mutually beneficial to both parties concerned. The usually older man has wealth, and affluence which affords him all the luxuries, that life has to offer. A very attractive thing for a younger woman to experience. But sugar daddies have discriminating tastes. They will not be seen with a plain, ordinary, or below average girl. The sugar babe is almost always a young knockout, his eye and arm candy?...Would that be your guess? Probably what you are thinking,...but... Not always....not true. There are many quite smart and sexy younger ladies who know how this works.....then there are some beautiful younger women are looks smart but they couldn't tell you who was the governor or what countries are in war. Her idea of the news is celebrity news on E! Wouldn't you prefer CNN or FOX News? Sure...she will always turn heads in a crowd, but lets hope that she doesn't open her mouth unless she knows how to speak the language. If you are going to pay her good money to be on your arm, make sure she has somewhat of an education as well as knowing how to converse.  Then there is the older pretty mature woman who also seeks the lavish lifestyle, and is usually of higher maintenance than a male her age could ever afford, but has her act together and is looking for assistance, and companionship.They have a unique, mutually beneficial relationship, one in which both sides know their roles, and in which they are both happy! In the true sugar daddy lifestyle, it is a totally win-win situation, as opposed to the gold digger who is interested in only herself and trying to find the means to fast cash and certainly not caring who she hurts along the way.
