When I formally started my business January 2011, I was
- working all hours of the day and night,
- serving on the board for a performing arts organization,
- cooking meals at women’s shelters
- and making time for my parents and large extended family.
I was going from one thing to the next without taking a minute to catch my breath…it was grueling.
Within the first three months, the crazy pace had taken its toll: my creativity was shot, I began missing important deadlines...

When I was asked to write a second article for Women Grow Business, I should have said NO. But I was so flattered by the response to
my first contribution and to be asked to contribute again, that I immediately responded with a big loud yes.
It really should have been NO.
The timing was terrible: I had just finished an exhausting 10-th anniversary campaign for my business and was going into what turned into the busiest holiday season in the history of our business. So writing an...

On Monday, April 30th, I want you to join me in giving what you have to give in the biggest way possible.
It's called
#GiveBig and was launched earlier this year.
(
There's another organized effort happening in the Seattle, Washington area on May 2nd as well that coincidentally uses the same hashtag, but we're talking about a personal, ongoing effort to give.)
So far,
I've given $1,000 - man, did I love writing that big check - and
given a full day of my time that included...

There is a new social network worth checking out… and it’s for women entrepreneurs and business owners.
Project Eve, launched just a month ago by two recovering investment bankers, is dedicated to furthering women’s understanding about business and overcoming hindrances to action.
Sorry, guys. Of the nearly 1,000 members only a couple are men (who I’m convinced are trolling for dates). Co-founder
Kim Oksenberg says the reason for this is to allow women to communicate,...

We recently started featuring a periodic
summary of resources for and about women in business. We're looking to make this a weekly feature in the near future, including both articles of note from around the web and an on-going collection of resources by or for women in business.
Women In Business Discuss the Women at Work Infographic
Our most recent former editor, Shonali Burke has an intriguing post on her site about a
Women at Work infographic created by

As usual, our Women Grow Business Chat was packed with a community of wonderful people, from those who helped promote it and watched from the sidelines, to those who actively participated.
And we were happy to welcome a wonderful guest expert,
Jennifer Stauss Windrum (
@jenniferwindrum), who talked about her journey from lung cancer patient activist to social entrepreneur, educated us about the reality of lung cancer, introduced us to NoMo and invited us to become a part of the

While sending some of the posts that would have been published through the approval process, I thought it would be fun and helpful to do a quick round-up of some resources I've seen around the web written by or of interest to women in business. Once we're back on a regular publication schedule, this will be a re-occuring feature.
#1-
How to Solve the Tech Hiring...

It's good to be back from haitus! I've been dealing with a few personal issues so we haven't had an update in over a week! But we're charging full steam ahead with both our regular articles and events, and a couple of upcoming new features.
Speaking of regular events, our monthly Women Grow Business Twitter chat will be happening a week from today, Monday, April 9th, at noon Eastern time.
We're happy to be welcoming a guest expert this month, a woman named
Jennifer Stauss Windrum, who...

Last Monday, March 12, 2012 we did something a little different with our Twitter chat in honor of Women's History Month.
Instead of looking back at the incredible women who have helped paved the way to our current status, we collectively honored the wonderful women business leaders in our lives now, who are making a difference today, in our various communities, online and off.
94 people used the
#wgbiz hashtag to participate at some point, sharing profiles of women they admire or...
