I didn't really know what to expect other than what I had read on the Women's
Small Business Expo web site http://www.womenssmallbusinessexpo.com
and what Linda Hollander, the founder, had conveyed to me during my first
women networking event in Beverly Hills about two months ago. In short, it
was phenomenal! I'm glad I attended the 3-day seminar in Palms Springs, CA
at the end of April 2004. First, I really didn't think I was going to go given the
fact that most of my time and money were dedicated to my company, which I
officially registered about 4 months ago. In fact, because my business was
just born, it actually made sense for me to attend.
It was my first business seminar ever. So far, I've mainly seen and heard from
my husband how he thinks business should be done, but I have a complete
different view. Consequently, you really can't discuss your visions with
someone who doesn't share your approach on how to do business. As a
result you start doubting yourself after a while, right? You start doubting
yourself because you don't know any more than what lies within the barriers
of your daily environment. You can't really know anything different unless you
get to taste a glimpse what lies beyond those barriers. No one is going to
break those barriers for you. You have to do it yourself. So I did.
There were approximately 10 speakers present, talking about strategies in
marketing, power networking, risk taking, financing, success, internet, media
approaches, and getting your product on the market. The overall feel of this 3-
day seminar surprised me. I expected some boring lectures on business, but
instead the speakers had filled the room with an unspeakable energy and
vibe. 200 women were captured by the words of extremely motivated and
inspirational speakers. It was unbelievable!
I profited the most from the Women's Small Business Expo to see how other
women think, feel, talk and go about business. I was so happy to see that in
fact my attitude and approach to business wasn't that far off from other
successful women. In truth, I'm rather proud of myself considering how quickly
I had built my own firm and product while others were still talking about what
they were going to do. My doubts had all of a sudden disappeared, and were
replaced with confidence and heightened self-esteem, motivation and the
urge to move on. I met a group of people who shared my vision, a group of
women who thought like I did.
In summary, I would definitely recommend Linda Hollander's Women's Small
Business Expo if you need a touch of confidence, motivation and inspiration
on a level that encompasses the mind, body and spirit. You are not only
setting up amazing business relationships, but you will also find friendship.
Part of the seminar was to create a success team with people who you
connected with over these three days. You will talk to your success team on a
weekly bases to support each other in reaching everyone's business goal
and get to the next level. As we all know so well, the whole is greater than the
sum of its parts.
It was a fantastic experience and it took me a whole day to settle back into
reality after four days in Palms Springs amongst all these amazing women I
had met during that venture. Thank you, Linda, for having arranged this
fabulous event and gathered such a great group of people. You allowed me
to go beyond my daily environment and get a glimpse into a whole other
world...the world of women in business

Flattering Styles For
Women With Curves
by: Her Plus Life
Are you one of those fabulous women that has curves, and you would like
to know a fun way of showing them off? There are several ways to make your
figure look the way that you want. It is all in the manner that you carry
yourself. Being confident and following a few basic rules on how to dress
will make you look like the woman you want to be.
The first rule is to go out and buy the correct size bra. A good bra
will make your outfits look the way that they should. Having curves is a
wonderful thing to have, but you need to know how to make them fit right
with your clothing style. It is amazing what a great bra can do for your
figure.
The second rule is buying clothes that are the right size for you. So,
go ahead and throw away all those clothes that are too baggy on you. Say
hello to a more fun, alive figure. Stop hiding it. Wearing sizes too big
or small for your body frame will only accentuate your weight, and not
your lovely curves. You do not want to wear shapeless styles. Try wearing
semi-fitted separates. It will make you look taller and thinner, and make
it look like you have a more sculpted waist. Wear tops that just skim your
waist and hips. Jackets should be worn just to the length of your
fingertips. As for your bottoms, select clothes that tend to taper
downwards. It will look better than other styles. Skirts will look good if
they are not too high. If you can sit in your skirt without it ridding up
on you, then you are all set. Shift dresses are great especially with a
round neckline. It will even out your proportions wonderfully.
The third rule is not to wear anything that is too bold, and that calls
extra attention to yourself. That means no super bold prints, no big patch
pockets, no oversized buttons or bows, and no horizontal patterns. You
want to wear a nice crisp line of color, and then accessorize with just a
few simple accessories such as jewelry or a scarf. Sometimes even just
wearing one solid color all over is great look. It will add height to your
frame, and shrink your width.
The last rule is very easy. You should buy the best quality that you
can afford. Quality fabrics can make all the difference in how you look.
Fine fabrics look better than stiff fabrics that can add inches onto your
body. In addition, well-made clothes will hold their shape better. Better
shape will improve your shape too. If you follow all these rules, you will
look and feel better. So go out, and let your light shine. Better clothes,
for a better you!
