WSJ: WOMEN LEADERS IN BUSINESS

There is a good conversation going on in the Wall Street Journal about thought leaders in business.

The first article is...
New Breed of Business Gurus Rises
There is an obvious lack of women on this list. The methodology probably has a lot to do with the lack of women on the list.
There is another column that looks at why this is. It also looks like there will be lots of comments.

The second article is...
Ayn Rand, Where Are You?
This is definitely worth checking out. My comments are below.

"There are lots of women who are successful thought leaders.

Their ideas, creativity etc are opening new ways to think and succeed.

When I have been to conferences some of the best speakers and presenters have been women.

If you create a list of the top 20 Women [thinkers, analysts, leaders etc, there will be lots of people interested in reading it.

If you are interested, go to Twitter and look for the top 100 people by followers. You will find some extremely talented women.

A few you will want to check out are Pistachio & missrogue
There are probably about 10 women in the list.

Also recommended is smallbiztrends / Anita Campbell, she is not yet on the list…"

G3: Gotta Get Goals

It has been said that we become what we think about. Things we want to do, achieve and become are goals. No goals, no anything. Goals + persistence + tenacity = Achievement

Get some goals in your mind. Some you really truly want. Focus on them. Think about what you need to do to accomplish them.

Pick some Short [S], Medium [M] and Long [L] Term goals

[S]hort - Goals that can be achieved within a month.
[M]edium - Goals that take longer than a month and perhaps up to three years.
[L]ong Term - Goals that take three or more years to achieve.

These are simple definitions of the time frames. Make adjustments if you so desire. This system is flexible so you can make it fit your personality and beliefs.
The point is to think about what you really want, then to decide if you are willing to work hard and long enough to accomplish it.

Come up with a few goals for each time frame.


What are your thoughts?

THE WAY TO A GREAT DAY



" The way to a great day; make it that way for others."

Take some time and think about how you can serve others. In doing so you will find a way to create value and happiness.

The more you serve, the more you deserve. Serving comes before deserving. That's just the way it is.

Service is more highly valued that you think.

How can you serve to make it a Great Day?
