If you’ve ever watched a turtle slowly cross the road to get to the other side, you know it’s a long journey across. As a business consultant, I talk to small business owners regularly who are at a crossroad and frantically want to take their business to the next level, but finding it difficult to get ‘unstuck.’

At a recent business conference in Washington DC, I met Nell Merlino, CEO of Count Me In and creator of the Make Mine a Million initiative. In our conversation about how to avoid being ‘stuck,’ she stated, “To avoid being stagnant, it is imperative for women entrepreneurs to think BIGGER. To think and dream bigger will enable you to take your business to the next level!”

If your business has been a bit stagnant lately, here are 5 strategies to overcome your fear and get unstuck: Read more...

It’s Generally Easier Said Than Done

It’s no secret that although change is inevitable, we humans don’t seem to have a strong appreciation for it. Change escorts us into the wonderful, exhilarating and, at times, scary world of the unknown. We can’t see the next step and yet we know we have to keep going. It’s generally always easier said than done. Dealing with the stress of a slow economy, especially for people who were laid off or who had their work hours significantly reduced, may take a few innovative approaches and action steps.

Winston Churchill said, “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” Sounds clever as a quote, but in practice - (read rest of article.)

Women Entrepreneurs returning back to work?
by ShaChena Gibbs

Many women entrepreneurs work full time from home building their enterprise. We become solely dependent on the income we have been generating from our entrepreneurial endeavors to pay our bills, to maintain personal and professional expenses. Most of the time your business success can actually achieve this task. But what happens when you hit a slow season? How are you going to maintain? or maybe business is going well, you just need more money a lil sooner?

Have you thought about returning back to the work force? back to Corporate America? Many women entrepreneurs have taken that step. A few of my friends have and they set goals to resign after accomplishing their financial reward within 90 to 120 days or even 12 months.

What's stopping you from going back to the work force? Are you telling yourself, it would be embarrassing to tell your friends and family? You may believe they will laugh and say to you that your business must have failed? Because they tried to talk you out of it in the first place. Don't let this be the reason you struggle to get your business and personal finances off the ground or to the next level.

There are many reasons we can talk ourselves out of going back to work. However, if this is a step you need to make then go right ahead and handle your business. You know what is right for you and your family. Sometime we are the bread winners in the household and must make difficult decisions such as going back to work. Or we need to add to the current income coming in. Either way do not let your perception of what others may say discourage your decision.

Going back to work does not mean your business is failing all the time. You must be a leader and make a choice that you feel is the right one. If you decide to go back to work, set a time goal. It could be 90 days, 120, or 12 months as said above. Just set a goal and stick to it. Getting a financial adviser is strongly recommended. They can be beneficial with assisting you in accomplishing your financial goals.

As entrepreneurs we have to get out our own way. We must make do things we don't want to do and at times we don't want to do them in order to achieve SUCCESS!
