Woman Entrepreneur Empowerment: Reader's Q & A How do I get started? List building, blogging, branding

As a woman entrepreneur or one who aspires to be there are many things
to consider. One of the most popular questions amongst the women surveyed
includes: How do I get started? I have a lot of ideas. Do I brand first,
start blogging, build a list?

One of the first things you want to discover is who you serve. Many call
this your niche. It doesn't do any good to try to start blogging or
building your list without knowing who you're speaking to.

1) They won't recognize you as the solution to their problem.

2) You'll waste a lot of time and effort.

Once you do a few basic things including identifying who your serve,
you want to start building your list/community.

The people on your list are your target customers. You must convert them into a base that looks forward to what you want to tell them.

You yourself must be easily reachable. When you do this, people slowly begin to have faith in you. When you communicate with your contacts, you must sound approachable and friendly rather than seriously formal.


Before you actually begin experimenting with different methods of building your list,let's talk about the basic things you need.


A Website

The first thing you must set up is your website, so that your contacts have a place to come to and find you. They also need a place where they can securely leave their email and name. You must ensure that they do not have any difficulty in the process. Not only that, you want to give them something of value to remember. Your website is practically your main point of contact with your users. So make sure you build a site that is good to look at. That does not mean graphics rich and jazzy, but something that is designed to be professional and effective.

I'll share a quick and easy way for you to create your first website during
my Online Business Empowerment Quick Start Teleseries.

Your site must provide crisp content. Write it in such a way that it draws their attention – like a magnetic headline, bulleted points, etc. On top of everything else, it should endorse your own image.

Do it in a way that is unique and memorable for your visitor. They are only going to be there for seconds before they move on to browse elsewhere. It must have something special for your prospect to remember and come back. The number of sites on the internet is growing rapidly and it is up to you to make yours look special.


A point to bear in mind here is that even after you’ve drawn the visitor to your site, there is no fixed rule that says they must purchase from you the first time they go by your site. Which means we must make sure there is a way for them to leave their name and email address. The page that you need is called a squeeze or opt-in page. You then must be able to persuade them to subscribe and there are ways to do this.

Autoresponder

The next thing is your autoresponder. Subscribe to one that suits your needs best. These are a wonderful way to automate your follow up, when you have to keep in touch with your customers regularly. You might find it easy to keep in touch with, 100 people, but when the list runs to thousands, just imagine the amount of time you’ll spend, time that you can devote to more creative activities. Instead, a good Auto responder can help you tremendously in keeping up with your reminding and emailing.

You must remember that it is not just for size that you are growing your list. Why you are doing it is so you can convert it into business. You can start with a strong small list and build it as you go along.

Of course you'll need to know how to bring traffic to your site. I'll share more
about this in my upcoming Teleseries.

I've shared a little bit with you about getting started with list building. You
may be one who wants to figure it all out and do it yourself. Or you might just
be one who would rather have guidance with the support and tools to help you
do it right the first time. Do you already have a site and need guidance to tweak
it for the best results?

I invite you to enroll in my Online Business Empowerment Quick Start Teleseries.
This is a 3 week Teleseries that will help you get clear on who you serve (niche), list building, effective email marketing practices, social media (twitter, facebook and blogging) just to name a few.

Women's Empowerment tips: It's your life What are you going to do about it?

~~~~~~~~~~~
Featured article

What are you going do about it?
(c) 2002 Robin Tramble

"Three choices a person has concerning things
that bother him/her.

1. Deal with it.
2. Get over it.
3. Learn to live with it."
__ Jack Murray

You want success. You want financial security, good health,
healthy relationships, a stronger faith, to be able to say no
without feeling guilty. Yes, we want so many things and our
inability to accomplish the above leaves us feeling overwhelmed
and just frustrated. This adds to our stress level. The bottom
line here is all things considered does it boil down to the three
things as Jack Murray suggests above?

If you're like me you have vowed to be more proactive about
making change in your health and it begins with you.

One of the major causes of death in America are Heart attacks.
We must change our habits. Your daily habits are contributing
factors to your success or failure in any area of life.

Future Youth talks about this in the following paragraph --
Eliminating hurtful habits You've finished your
Mediterranean-style mackerel and plan to relax with a glass of chianti and a good smoke-- maybe you'd better revise your plan. Heavy drinking (more than
two beers, two one-ounce shots of whiskey, etc., a day) and smoking go
hand in hand with high blood pressure and being overweight.
Separately or combined, these health risks increase the likelihood of developing heart disease."
Future Youth, by the editors of Preventionâ magazine health books.
1987 Rodale press

Is there something bothering you? Something you don't like or are
tired of ?

Deal with
What can you do to take an active approach to improve upon your situation?
Will it require additional resources,training,coaching etc. ?

Get over it
If it’s not a major you may just have to get over it. Many times we spend
our lives majoring on the minors. Categorize the problem and if you find
that it’s a minor you may just have to get over it and move on.

Learn to live with it
Is this something you can learn to live with? Only you know if you are discounting yourself by choosing this option, however, it is one to look at.
If choosing one of the other two causes added stress or creates negatives more than just simply learning to live with it then this may be your choice for a period.

For instance you may find that while adjusting to your child’s lack of responsibility by implementing learned skills to assist him in improving that you need to learn your own skills to live with it where it doesn’t drain your energies or break the peace. This is not one of my favorites, however, it is an option and can be a positive depending on how you use it. In this example instead of passively acting out one of the three by default you are actively choosing one of the three.

You can deal with it, get over it or learn to live with it. Just remember whatever you choose you must take responsibility for your choice. Whatever you do don’t just sit there and watch it happen, take action. Even the simplest action may be to answer this question “What are you going to do about it?”

Women's Empowerment: 3 things to avoid, 3 things to do

Women’s Empowerment 3 things to avoid, 3 things to do

Are you living the life that you’ve hoped to live? What’s holding you back?
Many women are feeling powerless only because they have given their personal power over to friends, professionals, the media etc. Empowerment is a choice and you must make the choice to live your best empowered life. This can only come about by your pursuit of the keys necessary to manifest
an empowered life.

There are also things that you must eliminate if you are going to reclaim your life and realize dreams come true and the best of you.

Here are 3 things you must avoid

Procrastination
Procrastination is a thief of time and once it’s gone you can’t get it back so learn ways to stop procrastinating. In my eBook The dynamic power of focus I give the definition of procrastination which includes laziness. Yes Laziness! Sometimes we resort to procrastination because we simply don’t desire to do something. Another thing is it has been determined that procrastination also happens because of a person’s experience with an event or task and it didn’t give the desired results so the individual resists doing the task because of a past negative experience.

Toxic people
Have you heard the saying that evil communication corrupts good manners? Well I’m not saying that toxic people are people with evil communication, however, if it will help you avoid or move toxic people away from you it’s a good way to look at it. You cannot move forward in life surrounded by toxic, negative people.

Lack of vision
A person without vision is like a person going on a trip without any idea of how to get there. They travel aimlessly asking everyone with whom they come in contact with. The funny thing about this is that some people really don’t have the answer but because of pride will not tell you this and just give you an answer to suit their fancy, however, you end up worse off. You must craft your vision if you are serious about arriving at your desired destination.

Now that I’ve given you three things you must avoid. Let me share with you three things you must do.

Take action today
There is no time like the present. There is a quote that says “Don’t look back one year from now wishing you had begun today.” You can read all the books you want, attend every teleseminar or workshop,however, without action it means nothing. Make a commitment to do one thing that will dramatically affect the other areas in your life.

Create positive environments
Your environments must support what you are doing. There are about seven environments which include your physical, spiritual and the environment of you. Look around you is your physical environment supportive of your goals. Is it organized, free of clutter or do you have to step over things, spend too much time looking for items etc. A physical environment free of clutter will also enhance your mind. Try it, clear up your physical space and watch the sense of freedom you feel.

Discover your life purpose
Knowing your life purpose will also assist you in developing your vision. When you don’t know your life purpose in essence you are moving about without a navigation system. One thing I often tell individuals to do to help start them out is to think about something that you have a passion for. What is it that you would do and enjoy doing even if you weren’t paid to do it? There are other assessments and tools that I make available to my clients to further assist them in discovering their purpose and crafting a vision statement. Living on purpose will maximize your empowerment!
How can you use the information above to maximize your empowerment? Pick one or two things and revisit them within a week to monitor your progress.

Women's Empowerment: What do I do now? How can I move forward without resources?

I'm finding that we as women need some cheering up. I have heard so many comments about circumstances, fear, confusion, possible depression, financial insecurity etc. Although we are not to opt into the recession as I always say we cannot be ignorant of the financial state of the world.

Are you feeling stuck, confused or discouraged because of a lack of funds? What else is going on? What's holding you back?

I am a savvy entrepreneurial woman and yes, it takes money to run any business. So I know you understand the fees attached (when I do) to my services, products and programs. Having said that I also have an obligation to my Father God to walk, talk, see, hear and speak by faith.

The time is now ladies! Seize the opportunity.

I've heard the cry and I'm about to do something that is going to seperate the talkers from the doers. You know those decisive action taking women.

The Power of Self Esteem and Empowerment or the lack thereof

SELF-ESTEEM controls PERFORMANCE/REALITY which stimulate SELF-TALK which reinforces SELF-ESTEEM. This cycle can work positively or negatively and is greatly influenced by the self-talk ("I knew I wasn't good at --" vs "next time I'll practice and do better at --").

Did you know that self esteem plays a great role in how effective you will be in realizing your best empowered life?

In psychology, self-esteem reflects a person's overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own worth.

Self-esteem encompasses beliefs (for example, "I am competent/incompetent") and emotions (for example, triumph/despair, pride/shame). Behavior may reflect self-esteem (for example, assertiveness/shyness, confidence/caution). [1]

Low self esteem can affect your productivity, a lack of confidence can negatively impact your business and personal relationships which as a result impede your success in life. [2]

I go into more detail regarding self esteem, confidence and positive self talk
in my eBook "The Dynamic Power of Focus."

I want it all... Should I feel guilty?

In my interactions with women this one question has always
been brought into the conversation. Some individuals want
to shake a finger at the woman asking this question, feeling
that it is selfish and #2 we can't possibly have it all.

Here are my thoughts.

This can be a hard question to answer if you fail to address the
following:

What is having it all? How do you define having it all?
This is a little like the assessment I use with clients\
"Defining success." If you don't define success for yourself,
others will tell you what it is or not.

What is your vision for life?
When you're not sure of your vision you can't possibly
navigate effectively.

So.... if there would be anything to feel guilty about
it would be not properly defining what having it all means
to you. Yes, I said you, not your best friend, spouse, parent
or anyone. And then my friend you chart your course without guilt.

Another key area is to make sure your life is set-up for success
with balance. I use an assessment to facilitate this, which is
what all of the participants of The Dream Launch Program benefited from.

I invite you to get connected with your best empowered life today!

Keep trying

Do you remember the cliche' "if when you try and you
don't succeed, try again" ? Well, I'd like to add
my twist "just make sure it's not a dead horse."

I encourage you to re-evaluate projects you've taken on
and any other endeavors you continue to pursue.
Do they have the necessary ingrediens to manifest the
results you desire?

If it's a business, are you pursuing the right market?
Many times we create a product or business and look
for the customers when we should do the reverse, find
a hungry market for the niche you have identified.

You may need to tweak your product a little. Don't
just continue to do the same thing expecting
different results. Did you know that is one definition
for insanity? Do something positively different.

If you're trying to do something but don't get it right
the first time around, then try again, and again,
constantly learning from your mistakes until you get
it right. When you finally do get it right, you'll
feel wonderful about it! Tip from The dynamic power of focus ebook


And now I invite you to get 14 more powerful tips
to boost your self esteem and confidence. Click here for my powerful mini-ebook!

Stop trying so hard... Boost self esteem and confidence... relax

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~
(c) 2002 Robin Tramble
Stop trying so hard!

Are you trying desperately to live right and still find yourself
failing? I was too until I realized that I can't do it alone
I am destined to make mistakes or miss the mark,
however, Father, God has provided grace so that if
I should he covers me. What I need to do is repent
and start again. He is at work in me helping me to
do what I need to do.

An important question to consider is who are you comparing your
self to? Sometimes we set ourselves up for failure because
we don't align ourselves with God's view of us, but rather
society's view or our relatives' view. Stop trying so hard!
Relax and enjoy life. Yield yourself to the potter's touch as He
molds you and shapes you into the beautiful vessel He has
designed you to be.

Low self esteem can affect your productivity, a lack of confidence can negatively impact your business and personal relationships which as a result impede your success in life.

I want to share this power-packed eBook with you to demonstrate the effectiveness of boosting your self esteem and confidence. You will realize measurable results as you implement some, if not all of the tips and information included.
