Building a Million Dollar Business Part Time #2: TRIAGE

I spent two nights at the hospital this week with my mom who is getting a bionic knee. Triage in the literal sense there. In the figurative sense, my schedule and prioritization process needs major help. Plate clearing MUST happen NOW for me to be able to act on the plans below. Otherwise, I’m just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Click here for Building Million Dollar Business Part Time… Read More »Building a Million Dollar Business Part Time #2: TRIAGE

Laughing When It’s Not Funny: Part 2

An in-depth interview with my dearest friend, and leading social entrepreneur Julie Silard Kantor really opened my eyes to the power of humor playing a role in being a successful person and professional. (The Hot Mommas Project is currently developing a case on her which will be available over the next month.) It helped today. My grandmother just died. It was okay at first. I thought, “She’s 93. It was… Read More »Laughing When It’s Not Funny: Part 2

Young Hot Mommas Help Alzheimer’s

Laughing When It’s Not Funny

Featured here is a picture of my car. So, clearly, this is not good. My husband arranges for a rental car, I sit inside, and it smells like Cheech and/or Chong has been living in the car for several decades. And, as upset as I felt about the accident (that our sitter was in….with my car…), whenever I thought of 'The Ganja Mobile' it made me laugh. The whole situation… Read More »Laughing When It’s Not Funny

Even Hot Mommas(TM) Need to Relax

Women, leadership. What does it have to do with this photo? Pictured here is the Sunset Beach Hotel bar/restaurant (www.sunsetbeachli.com) at Shelter Island in New York. My family had lunch on the rooftop after collecting shells on the little beach across the street. Very Euro and charming. The point? Preliminary results from our Hot Mommas(TM) Project Survey (a survey of high achieving women) revealed an interesting finding: Success is a… Read More »Even Hot Mommas(TM) Need to Relax

The Opting Out Myth

I am always a fan of playing devil’s advocate and pushing back against the “opting out” media flurries. Sharon Hadary of the Center for Women’s Business Research notes “Rather than withdrawing from the economy and shutting down their ambitions, an extraordinary number of women have taken direct control of their destinies through business ownership. In fact, today there are more than 10 million women who own and lead businesses!” For… Read More »The Opting Out Myth
