What advice do you have for women who are looking to start a business?

Find your passion, something you would do for free; then, decide how you can make some money while doing it. If you follow your heart, you will never have a bad day at work.

What advice do you have for women who are frustrated with where they are in life right now?

At 45, I made a decision to change the direction my life was headed. I did something really big—I enrolled in a university full-time. I believed in myself enough to know that I could graduate in four years and complete my degree requirements, fulfilling a long-held dream to finish my college education that I had started so long ago. When I graduated from a certificate program in 1993, from a “junior” college, the dean handed out the certificates and said to me, “Don’t stop here, keep going.” Those words haunted me until the day I decided to finish my formal educational.

During my college years, actually in my first year English class (composition) the professor told me I had the gift of writing and that one day I would write a book. I thought she was just being nice and supportive and didn’t really take it to heart. I laughed, telling her that if I ever did write a book, I would dedicate it to her. When she found out I was actually researching writing a non-fiction novel, she exclaimed, “I knew it!” It took all four years, many professors, lots, and lots of essays for me to believe in my abilities. One day, I will have my book published, and my first college professor will be the only dedication on that page.

So my advice to other women who are frustrated as I once was, YOU are the only one who can change your destiny! Do something BIG and take charge of your life.

What are your keys to success?

Faith, research, education, perseverance, marketing, networking online and in person.

What advice do you have for women who are looking to start a business?

Think about what you like to do. Don’t start just any business—it must come from your heart. When you decide on what it is, never give up. Don’t listen to people who make fun of your dream or tell you that you cannot do it. Maybe they can’t (the give up word for won’t), but you can.

What advice do you have for women who are frustrated with where they are in life right now?

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was to really look at what was frustrating or stressing me. If I could do something to improve the situation, do it immediately. If I couldn’t, then I need to blow it to the wind, let the universe take care of it, and move on.

What are your keys to success?

Prepare for opportunity so you will be ready when it comes—never stop learning; Then when it knocks, don’t forget to open the door!

What advice do you have for women who are looking to start a business?

Plan ahead. The main problem I have seen with women I know who are starting businesses is lack of planning. Remember, it can take a few months or even a couple of years before you are earning enough to live on. So, not only do you need a business plan to guide you in starting your business, you need a plan to guide you in maintaining your life and relationships while you do.

What advice do you have for women who are frustrated with where they are in life right now?

Create a vision or a mission statement for your life. I know that sounds odd to many people, but just as most companies are guided by their mission statements, you life can be as well. Once you have envisioned what your purpose for your life is, and put it in writing, you can create goals and start working on the steps necessary to achieve it.

What are your keys to success?

Mostly perseverance. I just don’t quit! Perseverance, hard work, flexibility, willing to listen to those who have been there and done that! Faith in God and faith in yourself.

What advice do you have for women who are looking to start a business?

Follow your dreams and put your passions to work. Most of us as we get older get very caught up with everyday life where we leave ourselves on a shelf. Next to us on that shelf are who the essence of us and who we really are; our passions and our dreams. As young girls we grow up and we’re asked, “What would you want to be when you grow up?” Somewhere along the way, we fall short of our goals and take up other people’s goals.

We forget who we are; we become wives, moms, aunts, employees, and all that is beautiful, but we were women before we were any of that. Stay focused on who you are as a woman and what that represents to you. There is no crazy idea, and there is no limit to what you can achieve. We limit ourselves. Allow yourself the freedom to express yourself. Don’t limit your own potential. It may not be easy, but I feel that I’d rather live with some challenges than live with the regret of not having tried. Failure to me is not trying.

What advice do you have for women who are frustrated with where they are in life right now?

We all have challenges and obstacles that we are faced with otherwise this wouldn’t be “life”. It’s a test. You pass or fail. There is never, ever a negative situation. There is no such thing as “bad luck”. What there is is plenty of procrastination and fear; fear of the unknown causes procrastination. Well, for anyone who is faced with great challenges and you are feeling really low, can anything be worse? NO!! What can be worse is when that challenges passes, because they all do and you wake up and say, “ I should’ve…… do it before it’s too late. Face your fears, face your challenges, and embrace the obstacles. Make them your allies not your enemies and you will persevere in bigger ways than you ever imagined.

What are your keys to success?

Overcoming fear and educating myself about them. When I have been afraid to face something or been afraid to ask a question, I faced it head on. Sometimes with no thought process because it was about survival and I can promise you this, anyone who has been in survival mode for over 35 years as I have learns how to face things head on and not be afraid to stand up for what I believed in. The hardest challenge was to believe in myself and my power. Once I overcame that challenge, everything else never seemed as overwhelming. Stay focused with what comes natural to you and don’t ever lose sight of it.

We have begun to build www.99-series.com as we move towards the bigger picture of building www.ugouget.com. u GO u GET is the umbrella of what the 99 series falls into, but because the 99 book series is on its way to being published, it will be the foundation of u GO u GET because if I never went, I would’ve never gotten!

What advice do you have for women who are looking to start a business?

1. Make sure that you put your time and energy into something that you love to do, otherwise it is just too much work if you are not passionate about it.
2. Learn about marketing and social networking.  Promote yourself first and your products/services will be more interesting.
3. Be true to yourself, and others will relate to you and care what happens to your business.
4. BLOG!  Learn how to promote your blog and/or combination blog and website.
5. There is so much to learn, and new stuff every day.  Be willing to learn, and learn what can help you for free – there is a lot out there on the internet!

What advice do you have for women who are frustrated with where they are in life right now?

You are not stuck, not at the end of the rope, and not at the edge of a cliff (most of the time!).  Try to relax, and listen to your inner voices (angels, guides, your higher self- whatever is in your belief system).  You know what is right for you, and what options that you have.  There are always choices and creative ways to shift and change your situation.

If you have a really hard decision, then you need love and support.  If you are feeling alone, then find a supportive group at a church or online, or through a women’s organization or a counselor.  If you are unsafe, find a women’s shelter, or call the police.

Remember, there are always options.

What are your keys to success?

1. Listening to my intuition, inner guidance.
2. Having faith that my efforts will bring success.
3. Visualizing and imagining the best possible outcomes
4. Creating wonderful, supportive relationships
