Become a Successful Business Woman

Becoming a successful business woman can be a challenge, but if correctly approached it is an attainable goal. Read on to understand what is involved to help assure your success in a world that was previously dominated by men. By preparing yourself before venturing forward, you can help avoid some classic mistakes.



  • 1

    Research potential competition in the field.
    Do your homework before jumping into any business venture. Although the excitement of starting a new business often makes us rush to get started, if you do so without the required background information, your business venture is certain to be a bust. No great business was ever started just on an idea. The initial step may be to come up with a great concept, but no matter how great it may be, if not properly instituted, it will fail. Take the necessary time to make sure your “great new innovative idea” does not already exist. If it does, that doesn’t necessarily mean your business venture is doomed for failure; it may mean that to be a success you may just need to find a way to do it better.

    A lack of financial resources can hurt a new business.

    Do not enter a venture without securing enough capital to make the idea work. What happens when there is not enough capital is that the owner has to start cutting corners, minimizing marketing efforts and sacrificing quality. Decision making changes from doing what is best for your company to doing the only thing you can afford to do. So once you have researched your business concept fully, you need to then concentrate on obtaining the needed funding to make your idea feasible.

    It's tough to run a business.
    Set your mind on handling all aspects of your venture, both good and bad. It is often difficult for women to be tough when it comes to personnel issues and setting company policy. What must be kept in mind is that you cannot think of yourself as a “woman business owner,” but instead you must consider yourself as a “business owner.” Gender must not come into play. Often the business world is cut throat, so if you plan on succeeding you must be willing to make the hard choices and handle the tough situations.

    Relationships are critical.
    Select the best employees. Women possess certain qualities that men do not. Women’s strengths when it comes to managing relationships is often critical to the success of a company. Any company derives its strength from the quality of its customer service. If you know how to choose the best employees and how to keep them happy and invested in your business, you will likely be a successful business woman.

    Networking can make the difference.

    Network to stay connected. Networking is imperative to make your business a success. Women are often pros at networking. They do it their entire lives. So when it comes to managing and growing your business to be successful, keep in mind that the quickest way to become a success is to look to your friends and acquaintances for their help and support. Women love to help each other grow, so don’t be afraid to ask for help from those around you. It will surprise you how much you can get by simply asking.

    Hard work is the key.
    Keep in mind that success is earned and it does not happen overnight. Patience is indeed a virtue, particularly when it comes to creating a successful business enterprise. The best way to be successful is to work at it every day in every possible way. Do not give up when times are tough; buckle down and attack whatever is threatening your success. Owning a business is not easy, but the payoff can be extraordinary if you are dedicated to your concept. It takes hard work and perseverance to handle the ups and downs of any business venture, but if you are dedicated to your business you can become a successful business woman.

About sleep

For seven or eight hours per day, we go into a profoundly different 
state – a system – shutdown, if you will. But how much do you really know about sleep, about why we need it and what happens while we have our nightly shuteye?
See how many of the following facts you knew:
  1. During a normal night's sleep, there are five different stages of sleep – and each of them is quite different from the other four.
  2. When we are sleeping deeply, our breathing, our heart rate and blood pressure reach their lowest levels of the day.
  3. While we are dreaming, we experience REM – rapid eye movement. This is a very active time for both the body and the brain.
  4. While we are dreaming, our brain patterns are similar to those we experience while being awake.
  5. Most adults need about eight hours of sleep to function at their best, but studies have shown that most adults don't get much more than seven.
  6. We sleep more lightly during the second half of the night than during the first.
  7. Cats sleep up to 18 hours a day.
  8. Your body is on a 24-hour body clock, which makes you wind down between 1 am and 6 am and again in the three hours directly after lunch. We are really made to have siestas.
  9. It is more difficult to wake a child than an adult from deep sleep – often children will be disorientated and have no recollection of this later.
  10. Many people who suffer from insomnia suffer from anxiety and depression.
  11. Our large body muscles are paralysed while we sleep – most probably to stop us from doing what we are dreaming about.
  12. We go through four to six sleep cycles during a good night's sleep, moving through the different stages and back again.
  13. The average person wakes up about six times per night.
  14. Your body temperature falls in the early morning hours, reaches a low at about 4 a.m. and then rises again just before sunrise.
  15. Researchers have never been able to agree exactly why the body needs sleep, except that it is restoring to our bodies and our brains.
  16. Even when we are sleeping very deeply, there is still a part of us that picks up sounds and signals from the world around us. That's why parents wake up when the baby cries, but they don't hear the howling southeaster.
  17. Women and older people most often suffer from insomnia.

How to Be A Good Wife

Everyone has different opinions of what a "good wife" is. Some women think a spotless house and 
home-cooked meals are the keys to a happy marriage. Others focus more on the relationship. If you are feeling at a loss on how to make your husband happy, read on for some thoughtful tips.

Instructions




  • 1
    Keep nagging to a minimum. This rarely works and doesn't help the relationship. If you need him to do something, ask nicely and with respect.


  • 2
    Welcome him home with a smile and a hug instead of a sour face. Listen to him talk about his day, especially if it was a difficult one.

  • 3
    Plan little surprises for him. They do not have to be elaborate and can be as simple as getting him his favorite snack to let him know you are thinking of him. Or, plan a surprise date night with him.

  • 4
    Give him his space. Encourage him to go out and hang out with his friends for a break or engage in a hobby or sport that he likes.

  • 5
    Cook him his favorite dishes once in a while even if you would rather eat something else.

  • 6
    Express your love and appreciation often. Find time to be intimate even though you may be tired; it's an expression of your love for him.

  • 7
    Join him in activities that he's interested in. Watching Sunday football may not be something you would choose to do, but it's doesn't hurt to show an interest from time to time.

    Good Friendship


    :::S::::R:::::P:::

    Friends are indispensable parts of our lives. We just cannot think our live without our friends. It's rightly said that we get relatives for chance but friends by choice and that is the reason our friends are so dear to us. We all want friends to share our happiness, worries, doubts, sorrows etc, and our lives would become meaningless and hallow without good friends. We know the importance of good friends but sometimes it so happens that we cannot sustain our friendship or are unable to make good friends. There can be many reasons for this. We come across people in our lives that have number of friends on the contrary to people who simply do not have friends. We need to ponder over this thought that why some people are blessed with many friends and some people are not. The answer lies in the fact that people who have long lasting friendship are giving something extra to their relationship. We shall discuss ways and means of developing good friendship and also sustaining it.

    Be approachable :) 
    Whenever you need to make friends for want people to be friends with you, it is very important that you are fun and easy going. People who look approachable and simple attract more people towards them rather than those who look too complicated and stern. Have a happy and pleasing disposition, so that people feel comfortable and relaxed in your company.

    Good Conversation :) 
    The factor that can attract people towards you is the way you talk. It is very important that when you aim to make friends you indulge people in good conversations. Try and know their areas of interest and initiate conversation in the same direction. Once their interest is built up they would keep coming up with new topics for discussion. Try and avoid controversial topics, and if some situation like this crop up, leave the discussion there and then and start something fun and interesting. Good conversations are a foundation of a great friendship. If somebody likes to talk to you, they would get in touch with you again to talk and that's how to begin your journey towards a good friendship.

    Do not dominate :) 
    When we try and make friends it is important that we try and understand other person's perspectives and views. It is often seen that in order to attract attention, we snub people and want to outshine them. This is a very wrong approach towards making friends and this attitude could be marked as arrogance. You have be coy and subtle, even you find that the person talking to you is incorrect, you have to put your views in a more dignified manner. When you respect people around you, they feel great in your company.

    Be yourself :)
    It is very normal that we try and be good to the people whom we meet for the first time and try and portray our good side. This is fine but you should not go overboard with it. It is good to be polite and nice but do not be so sugar coated that people find it hard to digest. Try and be yourself, if you are good and your intentions are clear that you want to make friends with people, you would certainly do, irrespective of your any special endeavours.

    Do Things Together :)
    Once you have started liking a person and want that this friendship should be sustained, and then you have to try your bit. Try and find out things that you both can do together. You can go for walks or movie, or you can even join some classes together. This way you would be spending time together and you would get to know each other well. Doing things together is a great way of making the bond of friendship together.

    Do not be a fair weather friend :)
    It is very important that you are there your friend in thick and thin. It is not only your responsibility as a friend to know and find out about your friend's problems but also provide help to solve them. The test of a true friendship is at the time of the need. At the time of need you can tell and express to your friend, how much you care and value your friendship.

    Trust your friend :)
    Trust is a very important aspect of any relationship. If there is no trust then the relationship is not strong and the same goes for friendship as well. You have to trust your friend. Trust can lay strong foundations of the friendship. To maintain a good and trustful relationships try and share your happiness, anxiety, worry, joys etc with your friend. This way you become more close to each other and thus good friends.

    Appreciate your friend and friendship :)
    We all need appreciation and accolades for our endeavours and same goes for relationships. If your friend has done something special for you, acknowledge it and reciprocate the feelings, it feels great when somebody realizes what you have done for them. Although friendship is unconditional but still you can also do special things for your friends to let them know how much they mean to you. Every person is endowed with certain qualities and tries and figures out what special qualities your friend has, accentuate them and appreciate them, this way you are encouraging your friend and making your friendship stronger.

    Do not have expectations :)
    It is seen that expectations can spoil even the healthiest of friendships. Do not have unnecessary expectations from your friends. Do your bit and leave the rest. Do not expect your friend to act or behave in a certain manner because you have done or said something. Every individual is different and thinks differently. What might be correct or right for you, might not be so for your friend. So keep it simple and do not make the relationship more complicated.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed - very aptly said, so be there for your friend in all ups and downs in life and sustain a good friendship.

    कबिता कोर्न बिर्सिएछु

    कबिता कोर्न बिर्सिएछु
    तिम्रो मिठो सम्झनामा ।।
    पाइला चाल्न बिर्सियछ
    तिमीसँगका कल्पनामा ।।
    सुत्न खोज्छु परेलीका
    बिचमा आउने ति यादहरु ।।
    कोल्टे फेर्छु पुन्ह फेरी
    झ-सँग झस्काइ दिने पलहरु ।।
    अती हुन्छ सहन नसकी
    बग्छन आसु भेल सरि ।।
    थाम्न खोज्छु भक्कानो मेरो
    दुख्छ मुटु घरी घरी ।।
    कस्तोलाग्छ तिमीलाई
    बेदना मेरो खेल सरि ।।
    दर्पन पनि धेरै भयो
    बिम्ब कतै हराये सरि ।।
    कित देउ पिडा अझै

    के सारो बस्यो तस्बिर तिम्रो

    I love you everyday till I die…


    I have a boyfriend who grew up with me. His name is Sagar  . I always thought of him as a friend until last year when we went to a trip from a club. I found that I fell in love with him. Before that trip was over, I took a step and confessed my love for him. And soon, we became a pair of lovers. However, we love each other in different ways. I always concentrated on him only but by his side, there were so many other girls. To me, he was the only one, but to him, maybe I was just another girl…
    “Sagar  , do you want to go watch a movie?” I asked.
    “I can’t”
    “Why? You need to study at home?” I felt disappointment grabbing me.
    “No… I am going to meet a friend…”

    He was always like that. He met girls in front of me like it was nothing. To him, I was just a girlfriend. The word ‘love’ only came out from my mouth. Since I knew him, I had never heard him say ‘I love you’ before. To us, there weren’t any anniversaries at all. He didn’t say anything from the first day and it continued till the 100th day… 200th day… Everyday before we say goodbye, he would just hand me a doll, everyday without fail. I don’t know why…
    Then one day… 
    Me: Um, Sagar  , I…
    Sagar  : What… Don’t drag, just say...
    Me: I love you.
    Sagar  : ...You... Um, just take this doll and go home.
    That was how he ignored my ‘three words’ and handed me the doll. Then he disappeared, like he was running away. The dolls I received from him everyday filled my room, one by one. There were many…
    Then one day my 15th year old birthday arrived. When I got up in the morning, I pictured a party with him. Hence I stayed at home in my room and waited for his call. Lunch passed... Dinner passed… And soon the sky was dark… He still didn’t call. I was already tired from looking at the phone for the whole day. Then around 2am in the morning, he suddenly called me and woke me from my sleep. He told me to come out of the house. Still, I felt joy and I ran out happily.

    Me: Sagar  
    Sagar  : Here… Take this…
    Again, he handed me a little doll.
    Me: What’s this?
    Sagar  : I didn’t give it to you yesterday, so I am giving it to you now. I’m going home now, bye.
    Me: Wait, wait! Do you know what day is today?
    Sagar  : Today? Huh?
    I felt devastated, I thought he would remember my birthday. He turned around and walked away like nothing had happen. Then I shouted…



    “Wait…”
    Sagar  : You have something to say?
    Me: Tell me, tell me you love me…
    Sagar  : What?!
    Me: Tell me
    I put my pathetic self behind and clung on to him. 
    But he simply said, “I don’t want to say that I love someone so easily... If you are desperate to hear it, then find someone else.”
    That was what he said. Then he ran off. My legs felt numb… I collapsed to the ground. He didn’t want to say it easily… How could he… At that moment, I felt that… Maybe he is not the right guy for me…

    After that day, I found myself stranded at home crying everyday. He didn’t call me even though I waited for his call. He continued handing me a little doll every morning outside my house. That’s how those dolls piled up in my room… Everyday.
    After a month, I pull myself together and went to school. But the pain resurfaced when I saw him on a street with another girl… He had a smile on his face, one that he never showed me… I ran straight back home and looked at the dolls in my room. Tears fell… Why did he give these to me… Those dolls are probably picked out by some other girls… In a fit of anger, I threw the dolls around. Then suddenly, the phone rang. It was him. He told me to come out to the bus stop outside my house. I tried to calm myself down and walked to the bus stop. I kept reminding myself that I am going to forget him and this is going to end. Then he came into my sight, holding a big doll.
    Sagar  : Jo, I thought you were pissed, you really came?
    I couldn’t help hating himfor acting like nothing had happened and making a joke out of it. Soon, he held out the doll as usual to hand it over to me.
    Me: I don’t need it. 
    Sagar  : What? Why?
    I grabbed the doll from his hands and threw it on the road.
    Me: I don’t need this doll, I don’t need it anymore!! I don’t want to see a person like you again! 
    I spitted out all the words that were inside me. But unlike other days, he was shaking.
    “I’m sorry” He apologized in a tiny voice. He walked over to the road to pick up the doll…
    Me: You are so stupid! Why are you picking up the doll?! Just throw it away!!!

    But he ignored me and went to pick the doll. Then…
    Honk~ Honk~
    With a loud honk, a big truck was heading towards him.
    “Sagar  ! Move! Move away!” I shouted… But he didn’t hear me as he squatted down and picked up the doll.
    “Sagar  , move!” HONK~!!
    “Boom!” A terrifying sound rang through the whole neighbourhood..
    That’s how he left me. That’s how he went away without even opening his eyes to say one word to me.
    Since that day, I had to go through everyday with guiltiness and sadness of losing him.



    After spending two months in despair, I took out the dolls. Those were the only gifts he left me since the day we started going out. I remembered the days I spent with him and started to count the number days when we were in love…
    “One… Two… Three…” That was how I started to count the dolls…
    “Four hundred and eighty four… Four hundred and eighty five…” It ended with 485 dolls.
    I started to cry again with a doll in my arms. I hugged it tightly and then suddenly…

    “I love you~, I love you~” I dropped the doll in shock.
    “I…. lo..ve… you??” I picked up the doll and pressed it's stomach.
    “I love you~ I love you~” It can’t be! I pressed all the dolls on their stomachs.
    “I love you~”
    “I love you~”
    “I love you~”

    Those words came out non-stop. I… love you… Why didn’t I realize that? His heart was always by my side protecting me! Why didn’t I realize that he loved me this much? I took out the doll under the bed and pressed it’s stomach. That was the last doll. The one that fell on the road. It had his blood stain on it. I recognized the voice that I was missing so much.
    “Sagar… Do you know what day is today? We’ve been loving each other for 486 days. Do you know what 486 is? I couldn’t say I love you…. Um… Since I was too shy… If you will forgive me and take this doll, I will say I love you everyday till I die… Sagar… I love you…”
    The tears came flowing out of my eyes. Why? Why? I asked god. Why do I only know about all this now? He can’t be by my side but he loved me until his last minute…
    For that reason… To me… It became courage… To live a beautiful life.
    If you love someone, let him/her know. Live a life bravely and truthfully and you will have no regrets.

    Love Story


    CLASSIC LOVE STORY

    Boy: Baby, we need to talk.
    Girl: Ricardo, what do u mean?
    Boy: Something crop up...
    Girl: What? What's wrong? Is it bad?
    Boy: I don't want to hurt you, baby.
    Girl: *Thinks* Oh my God, I hope he doesn’t break up with me... I love him so much.
    Boy: Baby, are you there?
    Girl: Yeah, I'm here. What is so important?
    Boy: I'm not sure if I should say it...
    Girl: Well, you already brought it up, so please just tell me.
    Boy: I'm leaving...
    Girl: Baby, what are u talking about? I don't want you to leave me, I love you.
    Boy: Not like that, I mean I'm moving far away.
    Girl: Why? Your whole family lives over here.
    Boy: Well, my father is sending me away to a boarding school far away.
    Girl: I can't believe this.
    Father: (Picks up the other phone, interrupts and yells furiously) Erica! What did I tell you about talking to boys?! Get off the damn phone!! (And he hangs up).
    Boy: Wow, your father sounds really mad.
    Girl: You know how he gets mad. Anyway, I don’t want you to go.
    Boy: Would you run away with me?
    Girl: Baby, you know I would, I would do anything for you, but I can't... You don't know what would happen if I did. My dad would kill me!
    Boy: *Sad* Its okay... I guess I understand...
    Girl: *Thinking* I can't believe what's going on.
    Boy: I need to give you something tonight because I am leaving on Flight 1-80 in the morning so I need to see you now.
    Girl: Okay, I will sneak out and meet you at the park.
    Boy: Okay, I'll meet you there in twenty minutes.
    [They meet at a nearby park and gave each other a tight hug. He gives her a note.]
    Boy: Here you go. This is for you. I got to go.
    Girl: *Tearing* (Begins to cry.)
    Boy: Baby, don’t cry, you know I love you... But I have to go.
    Girl: Okay (Begins to walk away.)
    [They both go home. Erica reads the letter he gave her]

    It says...
    "Erica,
    You probably already know that I'm leaving. I knew this would be better if I wrote you a letter explaining the truth about how much I care about you. The truth is, is that I never loved you, I hated you so much, you are my bitch and don’t you ever forget that. I never cared about you, and never wanted to talk to you, and be around you. You really have no clue about how much I hate you. Now that I'm leaving I thought you should know that I hate you, bitch. You never did the right thing, and you were never there. I didn’t think I could hate someone as much as I hate you. And I never want to see you, for the rest of my life, I will never miss kissing you like before, I never want to cuddle up like how we used to. I will not miss you and that's a promise. You never had my love, and I want you to remember that. Bitch, you keep this letter because this may be the last thing you have from me. Fuck, I hate you so much. I will not talk to you soon bitch... Goodbye.
    - Ricardo"
    [Erica throws the paper into the garbage bag and cries for hours.]
    A day passes. She is sad, depressed and she feels so lonely. She gets a phone call....
    Friend: How are you feeling?
    Girl: I just can’t believe this happened… I thought he loved me.
    Friend: Oh, with regards to that letter. Ricardo left me a message a few days ago. He told me to tell you to look in your jacket pocket or something...
    Girl: Umm... Okay.

    [She finds a piece of paper in the jacket.]
    It says…
    "Baby I hope you find this before you read my letter. I knew your dad might read it so I switched a few words...
    Hate = Love
    Never = Always
    Bitch = Baby
    Will not = Will

    .... I hope you didn't take that seriously because I love you with all my heart and it was so hard to let you go. That’s why I wanted you to run away with me...
    -Ricardo"
    Girl: Oh my God! It's a love letter! Ricardo does love me! He must have slipped the note into my pocket when he hugged me. I can't believe how stupid I am!
    Friend: Lol! Okay, but I got to go. Call me later.
    Girl: *Happy* Okay, bye. I'll be at home waiting for my baby to call me!

    [Erica turns the T.V. on]
    [Breaking news]
    "An airplane has crashed. Over 47 young boys died and we are still searching for survivors... This is a tragedy we will never forget. The plane that crashed is Flight 1-80. It was on its way to an all boys boarding school..." the Reporter says.
    [She turns off the T.V. ... Three days later, she kills herself because Ricardo is dead and she has nothing to live for...]
    One day after, her phone rang. Nobody answers. It was Ricardo. He left a message after being connected to the answering machine.
    "Its Ricardo, I guess you're not home. I called to let you know that I'm alive. I missed my flight because I had to see you one last time. I hope you are not worried. I am staying for good."


    Time for Family !


    With a timid voice and idolizing eyes, the little boy greeted his father as he returned from work, "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
    Greatly surprised, but giving his boy a glaring look, the father said: "Look, son, not even your mother knows that. Don't bother me now, I'm tired."
    "But Daddy, just tell me please!? How much do you make an hour," the boy insisted.
    The father finally giving up replied: "Twenty dollars per hour."
    "Okay, Daddy? Could you loan me ten dollars?" the boy asked.
    Showing restlessness and positively disturbed, the father yelled:
    "So that was the reason you asked how much I earn, right?? Go to sleep and don't bother me anymore!"
    It was already dark and the father was meditating on what he had said and was feeling guilty. Maybe he thought, his son wanted to buy something.
    Finally, trying to ease his mind, the father went to his son's room.
    "Are you asleep son?" asled the father.
    "No, Daddy. Why?" replied the boy partially asleep.
    "Here's the money you asked for earlier," the father said.
    "Thanks, Daddy!" rejoiced the son, while putting his hand under his pillow and removing some money.
    "Now I have enough! Now I have twenty dollars!" the boy said to his father, who was gazing at his son, confused at what his son just said. "Daddy could you sell me one hour of your time?"
