Women Business Owners, Build your Self-esteem and Deepen your Confidence
By admin | July 12, 2009
After reading thousands of hands in the hand analysis (non-predictive palmistry) business, I would say the “Life Lesson” of humanity is self-esteem issues. If you doubt yourself, how are you going to trust something as subtle, fast and laser sharp as your intuition for making business decisions?
Having good self-esteem is vital to harnessing the power of your intuition in business. And here’s the catch: If women business owners ask for help from their intuition and don’t listen, their intuitive awareness may go into hibernation. If you ask and listen, but don’t ACT, then you create stagnation, procrastination and all sorts of challenges.
Here are three quick tips, learned over years of palm reading, for women business owners to build their self-esteem and deepen their confidence in their inner guidance:
Spirituality and Business Tip #1: Delete all non-essential email for one week.
Answer only those emails that are personal or business related. You don’t have to unsubscribe from everything or do anything drastic. Just cut out the noise for one week.
Notice your discomfort in deleting your non-essential email. (I receive hundreds of emails per day. Only 50 are business emails that need responses and by responding to those emails, I actually ADD efficiency to my life.) Notice if you feel anxious that you are going to miss something. Notice if you can’t do it this week and want to put it off to next week. Who REALLY has the answers to your life? You or a message in an electronic box?
Spirituality and Business Tip #2: Don’t do anything – and I do mean anything – that you don’t want to do.
This is different from not doing something because it’s uncomfortable or because you are scared. There is a fine distinction here. If you don’t want to do something, you know it in every cell of your body. BUT you may be tempted to do it anyway in order to: avoid someone’s wrath or criticism, be pleasing, get your way, manipulate someone or get revenge. Just to name some of the many methods of self-betrayal that I see in my palmistry practice.
Spirituality and Business Tip #3: Make commitments to your self that you can keep.
As a palmistry expert, I recommend that instead of saying, “I’m going to start working out five days a week, start writing for two hours every day and start organizing all my paperwork every week,” why not commit to: “I’m going to move my body twice a week in a way that is pleasurable to me. I will write five minutes on Friday and build upon that. I will hire someone to organize my paperwork.” Many women business owners in my palm reading business have learned from this tip. By making commitments you can keep, you build your self-esteem, and hence, your faith in yourself and in your intuition in making business decisions.
Watch the video related to women business
Here is a video about the basic principles for women competing in the workplace. There is great debate as to whether women have access to the same business opportunities as men. This video will answer that question.

Other than being a male model, women can do pretty much any job that a man can do.

Try a local chapter of NAWBO, my mom's a member and they are awesome people. It is a truly wonderful networking community where women biz owners support each other.

In highschool, you should try to take some accounting courses and some marketing courses, as well as as many math courses as you can squeeze in. After that, you can get in to most colleges or universities, however, I recommend looking up a specific program you want and making sure you achieve the entrance requirements. Where in Canada are you? If you're in BC, I highly recommend going to BCIT for business, its an excellent school with very applicable courses and a lot of hands-on experience.

Yes, search it by Karstadt, C & A and Kaufhof Galeria. C & A is cheaper than the other two. These have reasonable prices than Botigue stores.

While there may be a few isolated cases of sex discrimination, the numbers are largely due to the fact that only that many women have the drive for positions like that.

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for starting a for-profit business.
One possible exception is for companies developing or exporting agricultural goods, including food and forest product. Another exception could be the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sbir/index.html , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.
Your best bet actually will be from the states if they offer grant programs for women (or any other special interest groups — minorities, women, disabled, veterans, etc). Or check with non profit organizations, particularly women organizations if they offer grants. Examples include
Iowa Women's Foundation http://www.iawf.org/
New Mexico Women's Foundation http://www.nmwf.org/guidelines.html
Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CON_FAQ2.html
"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."
Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.
Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business — THERE'S NONE.
http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show
Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT – Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program
Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

It is nice when a woman dresses up for her man on occasion. You don't have to wear a business suit, you can wear a dress. Show some bare leg sometimes.

I may be wrong, but more than 50% of the world's poulation is female, so, how does that make you a 'minority'?
