Meet Featured Diva Betty Lynch
What goals did you set for 2010?
My goals for the new year is to become healthier. I have started working with a lady who is trained in herbs and have started taking my healthcare back in my own hands. Exercising is also on the agenda.
I am also starting a plan for promoting my cookbook.
Are you carrying over any New Years Resolutions from 2009 into 2010?
No.
Do you have any unfinished business carried over from 2009? If so, what is it and how do you plan to handle it? If not, what advice do you give to others when it comes to completing tasks?
Write out your weekly tasks so that you know what you have accomplished and what still needs to be done. I keep this list in my Blackberry and check them off when complete. This year I was already working on 2010 goals/tasks in 2009.
When someone does business with you what are some things you hope they take away from the experience?
I hope that my customers know that I am sincere in wanting to help them make a difference in their life.

Meet Featured Diva Debra Shiveley Welch
What goals did you set for 2010?
I want to finish Cedar Woman and start on Heads Are Gonna Roll, get my son’s band going and lose another 15 pounds.
Are you carrying over any New Years Resolutions from 2009 into 2010?
Losing the weight: met my goal for 2009 and now on to 2010.
Do you have any unfinished business carried over from 2009? If so, what is it and how do you plan to handle it? If not, what advice do you give to others when it comes to completing tasks?
Yes. I meant for Cedar Woman to be released in 2009 but the development with my son’s band kept me from my keyboard quite a lot. At this point, I can only say that you have to prioritize. For me, my son was top priority over the book. However, I need to learn how to do both so I think I’ll be whipping out the ol’ lap top again for when I have to take him to recording sessions.
When someone does business with you what are some things you hope they take away from the experience?
That I am a professional: reliable, sympathetic and intelligent.

Meet Featured Diva Deb Stevens
What plans do you have for the summer months as it relates to your business?
This year I’m looking forward to meeting more people involved with networking thanks to a new venture!
What recommendations can you offer to women to keep them motivated during the summer?
Think ‘fresh’! Summer here in Sydney is always quite hot, and with so many new fundraising events to follow I need to remain cool, calm & collected. Stay relaxed without overloading your schedule/s. Consider using the hot summer days/nights to YOUR advantage by finding ‘balance’. Work should be enjoyable, not a task you dread!
What advice do you have for fellow businesswomen who want to understand how to make social media work for them?
Search what suits! My schedule allows me plenty of time ‘online’, and I’ve used this time to research suitable social networks, often those suggested by friends, or through a quick GOOGLE search. Be clear on what your needs are, this will help to narrow down the different networks available. Create a Blog, join a group, attend any social gathering where you are able to meet like-minded people and promote your business/ideas! Advertising any events ‘online’ while inviting the public to view what you have to offer is crucial if you want to be noticed! Keep it simple but keep it going!
What’s your favorite social media site and why?
Twitter has become my main focus-unlike Myspace or Facebook, Twitter offers the fast-paced style of tool required to keep up with my advertising! With an increasing list of applications, Twitter provides me with various ideas & gadgets which are useful for my personal sites/blogs.
Are there any new projects you’re working on that you’d like the general public to know about?
I recently linked up with a medical research unit; GO research fund, and hoping this will open many new doors while assisting my ‘awareness’ campaign for ovarian cancer.
6) How can someone get in touch with you?
You can locate me at Twitter, now running 2 accounts: http://twitter.com/chook

Meet Featured Diva Pam Archer
What goals did you set for 2010?
“To grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Are you carrying over any New Years Resolutions from 2009 into 2010?
I will continue the habit of exercise that I have had for 35 years.
Do you have any unfinished business carried over from 2009? If so, what is it and how do you plan to handle it? If not, what advice do you give to others when it comes to completing tasks?
No, I do not. Being a very goal-oriented person, I tend to overload myself, thinking I can do it all. One day, I sat down and calculated the hours it would take me to accomplish everything I had committed to, to completion. That’s when I decided it was time to take stock of what was truly important in my life. I worked long hours until I completed my jobs, and I refused to take on more during that time. It was very liberating!
If you have tasks that you don’t follow through with and complete, I recommend that you do as I did, and do a written list of what you have that needs to be done. Prioritize the list according to importance and due dates. Make a time line for finishing those things, and then just do it!
All three of my daughters had serious health issues in 2009. My family takes priority over business. In 2009 I reviewed my priorities for my businesses. I will not be as involved in social media as I was in 2009. I found that it stole hours of time that I should have applied to actually growing my business and tending to those who really needed me.
There will be those who will tell you that unless you are in every social networking group there is on-line, and if you aren’t doing webinars, podcasts, and blogging your fingers off, that you are going to be left in the dust on Earth, while everyone else is swinging on a star to Mars. Don’t jump onto that hamster wheel that gets faster with every step, until you are running out of control. Choose a couple of things and do those well, and when you have extra time. Don’t make them a focus of your day.
When someone does business with you what are some things you hope they take away from the experience?
I want each of my clients to feel like they are the only customer I have. They will know that their wedding or event, regardless of its size, is going to be spectacular, and that I have been a good steward of their money, by giving them more than they imagined.
