The resource for motivating and empowering busy women throughout the world
In continuing with our Woman in Business Series, Elaine features FeminInc.
Love the layout of the blog! The categories on the site are so helpful and direct for problem solving. However, it is quite hard to contact the owner of the blog, which makes it impersonal and less welcoming community for women in business.

Very specialized towards women entrepreneurship in online business marketing. The information is clearly organized and the site is easy to navigate through. It’s a very supportive site! I like the “tools” and “starting plan” that they provide—very doable from what I’ve gathered!

Emphasis on community and support for women in business. Has a lot of helpful resources, which is made easy to find with the eye catching back ground and theme. Accessible through facebook is a plus, since most other websites only have twitter, which is not very common amongst college kids.

When taking on Elaine as an Intern, I asked her what she wanted to gain from her Internship. She said that she wanted to learn about women in business as she has an entrepreneural spirit. So, I set her out to find 10 websites that she resonated with. The only guidelines that I gave her that the site must be owned by a woman and that it talked about business. The type of business was not a concern.
Elaine was to visit the website and then come back and report her findings. What Elaine returned was a list of incredible sites. Some I knew of already and some I didn’t know about.
Over the next several days, we will be sharing Elaine’s reviews in our Women in Business Series. Hope you’ll join us!
That’s it for now. Until next time, wear your heels well!
Whether you’re working from home as a self-employed entrepreneur or are bringing home some work from your full time job, it’s important that you set up a home office and create a productive set of home work habits. While some of these habits and tactics may seem obvious, many others are frequently disregarded. So ask yourself this simple question: Are you making the most out of your work in the following four areas?
Organizing Your Time
Overwhelming yourself with work, whether it’s a freelance setup or the office work that you want to take care of at home, won’t do you any good. Instead, try creating a small list of tasks, either by using viable GTD (getting things done) software or choosing more simple approaches like emailing yourself a to do list. Whichever method you choose, don’t send yourself the next year’s worth of work. Just focus on the day’s work. In addition, set aside specific hours where you will be working. This will allow you to devote your time appropriately and schedule other needed tasks around the required project work. [Read more...]
The phrase ‘Every Little Helps’ is key when you’re a bargain hunter and a keen user of coupons. The codes tend to give you a discount which is a small fraction of the overall price, but if you remain frugal and use them in the right way then your savings over an entire year will be mammoth.
We’ve put together four steps, which should ensure you get those savings from coupon codes and reap the benefits…
Step One: Find your favorite coupon code directories…
The Internet is littered with coupon code websites, some fantastic, and others not so much. Luckily you’ll find more than your fair share of the good ones, but keeping track of every single one will take up too much time. The answer? You need to identify a few favorites (perhaps two to four) so that you’re not overloaded.
Consider factors like user navigation and simplicity of the interface when you choose, how regularly it is updated, whether it lists coupons for items that you are interested in, and whether you can sign up to its RSS feed, or get email updates on the latest deals. [Read more...]
My good friend, Jenny Decki has entered a contest that will change her LIFE if she was to win. Check out this video:
You know YOU have questions for Jenny…here are a few of mine. If you want to know more, leave a comment below and Jenny will answer them for you.
Q: What exactly is this program that you’re entering?
There’s this really cool fitness hangout for moms online called BookieBoo.com and they run a contest to find the next “Mamavation Mom” every seven weeks. The Mamavation Mom is the mom everyone watches as they make a 7-week intense change to their diet and exercise routine. They’re the mom to watch and be inspired by as they go through the Mamavation program. Then, after the 7 weeks they continue to remain active in the BookieBoo community giving advice, support, and love to the rest of the Mamavation Sistahood.
Q: What is your ultimate goal for entering this program?
Q: What’s in it for us?
Once I win I will be posting videos. Inspirational videos, funny videos, ME WORKING OUT videos, food demonstration and cooking videos. Everything you need to feel better about yourself and realize that anyone can truly become healthier with just one decision. To DO it. Let me be YOUR inspiration. Or just let me make you feel better about yourself. Either way, we’re cool. 
Let’s show Jenny some DIVA love and vote for her!
