If you were asked to give advice to being more successful in business, what would you say? I’ve been thinking about this as I’ve been speaking to younger workers recently. These are young men and women who are just starting to work or have worked for just a few years. Can you think back to when you just started working?
Thirty women business owners from Afghanistan and Rwanda are visiting the United States as part of a Peace Through Business Program to learn more about building and sustaining their companies.
Lori, I never thought about the celebrity factor. You bring up a good point. I think there are many people who value celebrity input when it isn't really relevant. Thanks for writing.

How Do You Dress to Impress? (Sleeves or No Sleeves?)
As much as many women would want to believe that it does not or should not matter, attire that shows more flesh is a subliminal message of less power. Women buy into thinking that it is okay to be more stylish because it is commonplace to see e.g. news anchors in low cut styles. It is a mistake to equate celebrity business images with the real world.

Thanks for the excellent insight. As a Start Up Business Consultant, I hear the horror stories of new and budding entrepreneurs who have been hard hit by the recession. My advice is to boostrap! I believe we are beginning to see the cracks from an economic system that preaches Borrow! Borrow! Borrow! What happens when you just can't get your hands on small business loans? I believe we are seeing this right NOW!
We ought to be teaching new entrepreneurs how to take charge of their financial futures by bootstrapping -- and not perpetuating a system of debt -- which is the root cause of the recession in the first place. You can start a new business without BIG bank loans. I know because I teach bootstrap financing everyday. I know it works. http://StartUpBusinessSurvivalGuide.com ...
