Notes From Mandie's Desk September 14th , 2007

Dear Roaring Woman!

Surprise, surprise.....  Despite the fact that people are TIRED of email - our survey about newsletters says differently.  Did you answer the survey Read more here  If you would like to offer your opinion - please do - and don't be surprised if you start getting the newsletter weekly again!

Global Warming - A different Perspective
What kind of change are you creating in the world?  You say - WHO ME?  Yes you!  This past week I had the opportunity to meet with 200 women entrepreneurs from all over Canada at 3 separate events.  And as I was driving to the first event - I got lost.  So I began looking around at the traffic jam I was in and seeing the faces of the drivers around me.  The all looked miserable!  Unhappy.  Stressed.  And I began to think.  The women I was meeting - no matter their current state of business all maintained one thing.  They loved what they did.  And we all know what that means.

When you love what you do - you have an entirely different outlook on the world.  You become kinder, more understanding and fulfilled.  And that ladies - spills over into your community, your family, your clients.  You make the world a better place.  SO - are you making a difference in the world?  Absolutely - maybe it is time this cold world experienced our kind of global warming.  You have left behind your unique footprint.  You have changed the world.

So make sure you take care of you and your business.  Take the time to learn how to build it.  Share it with others.  Don't think of it as 'selling' your product or service- think of it as sharing the wealth.  You are educating people on how they can have better lives by doing what you do - or providing products you provide.  When we stop 'working' so hard and practice envisioning our destinations - our businesses cannot help but to succeed!

Have an abundant and profitable week!

NEED TO KNOW


Did you know? We recently found several people involved in networking clubs or directories that were paying good money for NOTHING.  That's right.  And they did not even realize it.  Some people paid $220 a year to be listed on a web site - no link - no phone number.  Just a name on a club listing and no way to find them.

We also found a web site where members paid $29.99 a month for a listing - and when you went to their page you fond a huge ad to JOIN the web site.  Then when you finally found their profile - they could not mention their business.  That is $360 a year to advertise the web site - not themselves!  They were paying to advertise someone else's web site.

We found several directories that charged $75 and up to list their company - but there was no reason to ever go to the web site.  In fact except for the members NO ONE had ever heard of the site - so how in the world were they advertising their members?

In response to our members request - we are opening a 2nd Chapter in Calgary in the NORTH.  Our South meetings are now being run by Carmen Robinson - the second Tuesday of every month at the Delta South.  (Southland and MacLeod Trail)

New Meetings  - to begin in Halifax, Kingston, Duncan and Victoria.  Please tell your colleagues and anyone you know who might be interested in those areas that in order to get notified of the meeting they must sign up for our newsletter and indicate the city they live in or the nearest meeting.  You too can update your profile so that you get invitations.  You can update your profile by clicking on the link at the bottom of this newsletter

WEBSITE stuff:  Please bear with us during our growth phase.  The web site looks fantastic - but there were a few glitches when it was recently moved to a new server.  Many of theses small glitches will be fixed and cleaned up in the next week.

EDUCATIONAL FUND - HELP!  We have the money and no one to help us give it away!  We are looking for several volunteers to sit on a Board of Directors that meets once a month by teleconference.  Please contact us if you are willing to commit 1 hour a month to help us bless others.  Contact - rwedfund@roaringwomen.com
