Intro Post – Building a Million Dollar Business Part Time

It’s time to share the Hot Mommas Project ‘Insider’s Blog” which I have previously kept secret and off the Hot Mommas Project site. Starting today, it’s out – and part of this blog. I will have a “Million Dollar Biz-Part Time” category here. Subscribe at the right. The below is retroactively posted from March 25, 2008. This is when I had no idea if the project would be a success or failure. Today, we’re the world’s largest women’s case study library. Women’s stories, making a difference, serving as role models, in a credible teachable format used from bookclubs to boardrooms.Read More »Intro Post – Building a Million Dollar Business Part Time

The Good Gals: The Washington Area Women’s Foundation – Best of Class Women and Philanthropy

Lorraine stood before the crowd of Washington, DC women, proudly announcing her age: “I’m 65,” she said and adds, “I know some people don’t like to talk about their age.” But Lorraine is happy to have gotten this far. She is a recovered 40-year heroin addict. Lorriane was in jail. Her two year-old daughter was taken from her 38 years ago, never to return. Despite her personal tragedies, or perhaps because of them, Lorriane’s life changed forever when she walked into Goodwill Industries.

Toolkit for Women’s Success: Do Women Lie When They Act Perfect?

 

Why do you love me so? Knock it off.

 

By Kathy Korman Frey

A post by Athena Vongalis-Macrow and Andrea Gallant on the blog of Harvard Business School Publishing is entitled: Stop Stereotyping Female Leaders.  The myth of the “superwoman” is discussed, and how this myth continues to be perpetuated by women themselves.  This is sad not only because women feel pressure to appear or be perfect, but also because this is what we are teaching the next generation. Expectations are killing women across this great nation of ours…both expectations of ourselves, and those from others whether actual or perceived.Read More »Toolkit for Women’s Success: Do Women Lie When They Act Perfect?

Scholarships: Young Entrepreneurs, Get Your Game On

Last week, I met with a board member from the Girls Scouts. It was an inspirational lunch filled with the potential – and actions – of what is possible for this generation of girls and women.  One thing I was particularly proud of was being part of a start-up dance company in Washington, DC.  Then, young entrepreneurs got a pat on the back and – maybe – a hike in their allowance. Now, these young entrepreneurs can win between $1,000 and $10,000 toward their college education.Read More »Scholarships: Young Entrepreneurs, Get Your Game On

Toolkit for Women’s Success: Joining the New Women’s “In” Crowd

 

 

 

By Kathy Korman Frey

This morning I spoke with one of our Hot Mommas Project judges.  She just got a massive promotion.  “You’ve got an entire empire now!” I said.  We agreed to make a time to have coffee or take a walk.

Thoughts running through my head as I hung up:
