5 Steps to Success:
1. Realize the importance of a mentor- It is so important, especially just starting out to have someone who has done what you are trying to do. They assist you with listing your goals and reaching them. They can answer questions you don't have the answers to. Amongst a great many other advantages.
2. Increase visability.- You want to get your name out there. Show people your character. You need to stand out by building your brand name. Which is YOU
3. Communicate effectively- You want to speak in a way that most people will understand you. Talk the way your customers talk. Be clear and know what you are talking about. Be Bold.
4. Balance home/ work- Understand that even if you are working from your home office that each day you should set aside time to work on 'work' only. Get a business line and a house line. During 'business hours' answer your business line only. And have your family call you on your cell phone if there is an emergency. Learn how to be time efficient if you aren't already. This will free up some of your much needed time.
5. Take Smart Risks.- Just because there is a risk that you may not WIN doesn't mean that you won't. Women have a gut instinct that is second to none. Our other senses run on overdrive which is why we get that gut feeling. Go with it. It's ok to be nervous but nothing was ever gained by doing nothing beside, you guessed it "NOTHING"
