What makes a powerful  business woman?  Check her birthdate.

Are you a sliver sista thinking of starting your own business-now is the time


A world of opportunities opens up when you turn 50. Today, there are entire web sites, companies, and services devoted to the over-50 demographic. Find your niche in that market. -- S. Mitchell

1. Women over 50 are a powerful market force in today's economy. Women buy 80% of consumer goods and services, and among the 80 million baby boomers, that's power. -- N. O'Reilly

2. Women over 50 are president, CEO, and the star of their own lives. If you have the attitude that life is precious, that life is grandiose, that you don't want to waste any time, you will make this quality time. -- S. Mitchell

3. The entrepreneurial spirit is booming in 50-year-old women. She's following her dreams, starting her own business. She's forming partnerships with other women's businesses. She knows that collaboration is a valuable part of being successful. -- N. O'Reilly
Once the college bills are out of the way and children launch their own households, the discretionary spending power of 50-plus women soars. They spend 2.5 times what the average person spends. Women are the primary buyers for computers, cars, banking, financial services and a lot of other big-ticket categories. – Marti Barletta, Primetime Women

RESOURCES FOR THE MATURE WOMAN ENTREPRENEUR

AARP, the American Association of Retired Persons, is an organization that caters not only to retired female workers but also to older workers in general. AARP is a North American organization that caters to people over fifty and will help to provide information on pretty much anything that concerns older people such as health, investment and small business information, Medicare and where to find the best insurance.

There are however some sites that cater to the specific needs of the mature female  and one of them is called WAHM. Work At Home Mothers is set up to provide support and advice to any female with children or grandchildren that has a vested interest in starting or continuing a home based business. This can range from financial backing without the discrimination hassle or just counseling for when things get too tough to handle on your own.

3 Ways to Claim Your Mental Wealth!

I'd rather be wealthy mentally any day than rich with no mental ability to recreate financial wealth. - T. Newby


It's been more than 20 years now that I've learned the power of mental wealth and all of its benefits.  I've not always applied what I learned, but as I got older I soon realized the the need for this mental ability even more.

Mental wealth is one's ability to eliminate the habits of negative thinking, negative self-doubt and fear and embrace positive life changing habits and actions that result in a number of positive emotions and experiences including: joy, abundance, peace, happiness, and supportive relationships to name a few.

To be mentally wealthy means that you could lose any material possession including money and gain it all back and more because of your ability to bounce back in a positive manner mentally.  It means that you do not place material wealth as a priority over your mental ability to create all types of wealth.  

It also means that your daily state of mind is at a constant calmness and you're always seeking new and creative ways to accomplish your dreams and goals - the lack of money, people and environments are never as excuses.

Below are 3 Ways to Start Claiming Your Wealth!

  1. Identify and eliminate habits that are preventing you from accomplishing your dreams and goals.  This is not a simple process, but you just start with one defeating habit at a time. Make a plan of how you will eliminate each habit, identify challenges to the elimination process and how you will overcome them.
  2. Release the negative things around you.  Look around you and find the joy in the material things you have now, release any negative relationships, remove yourself from environments that are harming you  and feeding negatively into your well-being.
  3. Embrace your ability to have mental wealth each morning by feeding yourself with positive words, thoughts and dreams and visions.

Just by implementing the above suggestions, you'll start seeing changes in YOU quickly!  Mental wealth is a process that must be practiced consistently. Don't be hard on yourself or feel that this type of power won't work for you - Embrace it now and move forward!

Creative PR

I love coming up with ways to get the word out about my business. Back when my partner and I started the doll company we didn’t have any money so I had to be creative. To this day I still love to be creative and from being creative I was able to get over $25,000 in free publicity for our company. I almost went into the Public Relations field and sometimes I think I should have because I think I am kind of good at it. Anyway I know that most of you know that I recently released my film RISE: An Entrepreneurs Journey To The Top. Before I shot the film I started thinking of all of the ways that I could market the film. So what I want to do right now is share with what I did as part of my PR campaign and maybe you can use it or something similar in your business.I made a list of business and women magazines. I then ordered a case of popcorn and packaged the popcorn with the DVD and my press release in a big envelope and sent it out to the editors of the magazines. I will let you know how that went, because I just did this.When it comes to getting the word out about your company you have to come up with a strategic plan and be creative. PR is one of the best ways to get your name out there. I know a lot of people talk about advertising, which can also be good, but most people will believe in your product much faster if they see a story about you in their favorite publication or on the news. I remember when I was on the John Walsh show. That was amazing because the show was national, so family members all the way down in Georgia saw me. That boosted the company so much and our credibility. It was around that time I decided to write the books about starting your own business, because so many people started coming to me about learning how to start a business and I figured now was the best time for me to get the book out there to piggy back off of the momentum I had going.Until Next TimeMuch SuccessAudreyAudrey is a business coach and the author of The Sister Inc. Blueprint For Starting And Running A Successful Business. She is also the executive producer of the film RISE: An Entrepreneurs Journey To The Top.
