Summer Camp, Marketing and The Whole Enchilada

Hi there Smart Women! How are you? I’m officially in summer mode schedule with kids camps all throughout the city which means I’m in the car a lot more than I’m used to. It’s given me an opportunity to embrace my patience at a whole new level. :-)

Yesterday, I facilitated an amazing event with the Broads Circle, a women’s networking organization here in Los Angeles. I had the opportunity to interview three women who are experts in the field of marketing in a crowded room of 75 women! Marketing is a hot topic and women all around LA turned out for this event. Here I am with Ali Brown, myself, Merri Jill Finstrom, Tracy Olmstead Williams, and Darya Allen-Attar.

Summer, July 4th and Marching To Your Own Beat

Hey there Smart Women! July 4th is just a few days away and I’m getting excited for all of the festivities here in our community. This year, my daughter Jenna and I are going to walk in our local community parade with her Girl Scout Troop. July 4th has become a much more meaningful holiday for me over the last decade as it serves as a reminder how fortunate I am to be a woman living in this great country. (If you feel this way too, don’t miss my article today!)

Is Your Business Serving You or Your Customers?

Sometimes when we begin our entrepreneurial journey, we create a business with a product or service that we are passionate about.  We set our business up and design it in a way that best meets our needs.  This is part of the entrepreneurial dream, but sometimes there can be a flaw in this system.  We, as entrepreneurs, must always remember that we are providing a product or service for whom?  The customer!

I read an article recently that Home Depot discovered they were not serving their customers in certain geographic areas well.  Management noticed there were a large number of lawn mowers sitting on their warehouse floors in Arizona.  If you think about it, lawn mowers in a desert climate don’t make a lot of sense, do they?  Home Depot had to take a look at where their stores are located and tailor the products they offered to the local consumers.  If Home Depot can make this kind of error, is it possible you could as well?

I Love Public Speaking!

Thursday night, I had the opportunity to spend the evening with a group of women from www.WonderfulOnlineWomenLA.com.  These women have formed a community where single women over 50 can come together to have dinner and conversation about navigating life and dating in the Los Angeles area. 

Ellen, the WOW organizer is quite resourceful and amazing.  She hosts gatherings where women and men can come together in a safe, fun setting to meet and learn more about one another.  I spoke to these women about “Creating The Spark; Igniting Passion for The Work and Life You Love.”  It was well-received and timely as many of the women are looking to make changes in both their personal and professional lives.
