The 4-1-1 on the Women Grow Business Boot Camp

by Shonali Burke on June 18, 2010

Excited about tomorrow’s Women Grow Business Boot Camp? I know I am! If you’re attending in person, just a few things to remember: Getting there As you no doubt know, parking in downtown DC is dearer than love and fresh air (well, dearer than fresh air, at least). Your best bet in getting to the [...]

Will You Join Our Village?

by Shonali Burke on June 17, 2010

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Women Grow Business, it’s that it’s a growing, warm and welcoming village. In that, it “takes a village…” etc. Image: Julie Falk, Creative Commons This blog community, which is so wonderfully supported by Network Solutions, is amazing. Look at the women who volunteer their time to write for [...]

What Does Memorial Day Mean To You?

by Shonali Burke on May 31, 2010

As Americans around the world will mark Memorial Day today, I thought it would be interesting to look at this holiday through the eyes of a young American girl.

Making The Connection With Women In Business

by Shonali Burke on May 28, 2010

Ever since this blog made its debut almost a year and a half ago, the one thing Jill, and then I, focused on, was building, and connecting to, our community. We try to do this by giving you a range of topics to read about, but all focused on and for women entrepreneurs. Because if [...]

Women in Business: Do The Hustle

by Shonali Burke on April 12, 2010

Had a great weekend? You might have headed outdoors to enjoy the weather, play with your pets, or meet up with your gal pals for a ladies-only brunch. At which you enjoyed the camaraderie that comes with chatting to other women you genuinely enjoy, respect and learn from. Image: whatshesaid_‘s Flickrstream, Creative Commons That’s what [...]

3 Questions to Ask – and Answer – When Launching a Twitter Chat

by Shonali Burke on April 6, 2010

As founder of the #measurePR Twitter chat, I was invited to, and participated in, a recent #chatmixer on Twitter (party image, David Domingo, Creative Commons). The idea was to bring together folks who routinely participate in specific chats, in an online/Twitter “mixer,” in an effort to widen their Twitter circles (would that be Twircles?) – [...]

Announcing #wgbiz Chats: Conversations By, For and Of Women in Business

by Shonali Burke on April 5, 2010

Apparently some of our menfolk still don’t get this, but if there’s one thing we know -and love – about ourselves, it’s that we women like to talk. (Image: Frits Ahlefeldt-Laurvig, Creative Commons) We do a lot of that here, over at Women Grow Business, which is what makes it fun, don’t you think? Apart [...]

Someone Pinch Me: $10K For a Business Plan From StartRight!

by Shonali Burke on March 1, 2010

A sucker remembers Before I moved to the DC area, I lived and worked out of the San Francisco Bay Area. In those days, I was a sucker for Publisher’s Clearing House. Remember how you had to cut out the little tickets, scratch away to see if you had the winning number – which of course [...]

Small Business and Social Media: The Small Business Success Index (SBSI)

by Shonali Burke on February 22, 2010

Still think SM’s a shiny new toy? I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to the quite-interesting findings of the Small Business Success Index (I mean, who could pay attention to *real* news when Kevin Smith got booted off Southwest Airlines and kicked up a stink about it). Anyhoo… there’s a lot of cool [...]
