How Much are You Willing to Invest in Yourself?

I was having a conversation the other day with someone about how it seems that some women simply will not make the effort to do all that they need to do in order to grow their businesses; yet complain about the lack of company growth and resources. Very frustratingly, this is a conversation that I have all too often. Unfortunately, there are people who think that being in business means simply waiting for the money to come in without an effort on their part..

These are women who are either in the same place they were years ago, or have dropped out of the game all together. I am often asked how I have made it for 18 years. I tell them that I have never been one to sit on the sidelines waiting for something to happen; I prioritize and stay focused.

Ask yourselves this:

How have you invested in your own business?
What risks have you taken?
What sacrifices have you made?

If you live in the Atlanta area I invite you to come out to our Networking Soiree on Thursday, August 27th from 6:00 pm – 11:00 pm. Come and hear from women who have made it from “Struggle” to “Success” against all odds, develop peer mentor relationships, and hone your networking skills.

You can register on the main page of our site (www.ownonyxwomannetwork.biz).

As you may know, our book, “Home Girl, CEO,” is due out this winter and we are creating a “Home Girl, CEO” newsletter. Find out how you can promote your business in our premiere publication by contacting us at: own@onyxwomannetwork.com
