Comment on Attention Business Mums: Are you failing to plan or planning to fail… by Tanya Middleton

I love your KISS approach, I completley agree with you. I used to be an “off the fly” kind of gal when it comes to business, I believed that my first instincts were the ones to follow, but ultimatley I was stressed out all the time. Having confidence in your planning and keeping organized is vital to your company’s success, and your mental health! It’s important that women support each other in this fast paced business culture. I actually work with Microsoft, and right now I’m really excited to spread the word about the “Vision to Venture” tour they’re having between April and May, which will consist of five live events. Susan Solovic, the best-selling author and CEO of SBTV.com, will be giving the keynote speech-“Girls Guide to Building a Million Dollar Business”-geared toward women entrepreneurs like yourself. You can see more and register at http://smallbusiness.officelive.com/v2v/ so let me know what you think! And if you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to answer them 

I hadn’t thought about journalling for business – what a great idea.

Great article on journaling. I will include a link at my website and suggest everyone read it. I journal in my personal life, but never really thought of journaling at work. I will now have a journal there too.

Thanks Nick

Comment on Business Development and Networking Events in Brisbane by Coby Edmunds

I really enjoyed my first Mums in Business session on Wednesday at The Springwood. I’ve had goals in place for a while now but it became obvious to me that I have been procrastinating on them.

After the session and a bit of shopping I went to a small restaurant in Springwood and worked through the booklet that Kerry provided us with – then I wrote down my goals.

I woke up the next morning at 3am with a couple of ideas. I decided not to publish my book on parenting but create an instantly downloadable eBook instead – I get a lot of requests for help by email sent in the middle of the night.

I also decided to offer four free workshops at a nearby school – Cleveland State High School. It has an excellent, almost new Performing Arts Centre and Film & TV studio. I am in the process of negotiating the making of 4 DVD’s and CD’s of these workshops. I guess it is fair to say that less than 24 hours after creating my goals I have aleady failed to follow them. I am sure these ideas are better.

I want an audience of interested mums and dads and I also want to give them an opportunity to attend for free. I will even provide tea, coffee and biscuits.

The four topics are:
Creating Calm
Why Don’t My Kids Do As the Are Told? (Am I talking in Swahili?)
Help Your Child Learn, Achieve Success & Feel Confident
What Children REALLY Need

I would like to ask MIB to for any other ideas or topics that you feel are relevant and helpful for mums of today. If you are interested in attending any of these free 2 hour workshops (to be held on Sunday afternoons) please let me know. When I get enough expressions of interest – I already have quite a few, I will be able to organize things a little more.

Thanks Kerry & the other mums who were at The Springwood on Wednesday – you really helped me get off my bum!
