What Do Women Business Owners Think?

Top 10 Tips From Women Business Owners

1. - Donate your skills. “Advertising is expensive,” says professional photographer Catherine Fiehn, “but the easiest way to get good PR is by donating your services a few times a year to a charity.”
2. Be grateful. Never forget! And thank folks in a personal way, if possible.
3. Keep moving forward. No matter what happens, there is always a way to work around it, to turn a problem into an opportunity or even to take a deep breath and power through.
4. Pipe up and promote. If you're hesitant to toot your own horn, balance it out by giving something back to your audience.

5. Put your social skills to work. Do everything you can to build a sense of community with your customers.
6. Aim higher. Jamie Yahne owns Glitzee Glee, an online dinnerware store. Jamie believes that it never hurts to ask a question or to attempt to go after something that you really want.
7. Set a firm schedule. If you are too flexible and available, you become a vendor versus a partner with your clients and you end up working seven days a week. People respect you more when you respect your own boundaries.
8. Give employees room to grow. Lily Liu is the founder and CEO of PublicStuff. She says: “I strongly believe that truly engaged employees will go above and beyond their duties and produce better work, because they know how important their role is to the company.”
9. Make each convo count. April Harter, owner of WordPop Public Relations, believes that every business connection should be meaningful, both online and off.
10. Join an active business network. We all “join” business groups, says Julie Legrand, founder and president of Off The Ground, but sometimes it's more of a token gesture. Julie believes that when you become an active member “by attending conferences, participating in discussion boards and volunteering for committees, more people will know who you are.” In her experience, those people will go out of their way to help you.
