Day 2- Promoting Positivity

I've never been one of those pro women all women together type of business owner or person. I'm a big believer in being great because you are great. And not making the almost excuses, in my opinion, such as oh I'm a mumprenuer (I hate this term) or oh I'm going to women in business (if men were to set up a men in business group they'd be run out of town) are almost like making an apology for yourself. 

What ever happened to I'm an entrepreneur or I'm going to the local business group?? 

Yes I'm a woman, yes I'm a business owner, yes I have other life commitments but why should any of these be excuses. 

Yes you may be a mum (or dad) that runs a business but why does that give you any priority over anyone who doesn't have children? If you want to be in business be in business on equal footing. It's not acceptable for me to cancel a meeting at short notice because my dog is sick so why should it be for you because of your children? 

And yes before you take my head off I understand that children and animals are different (in some people's eyes) but the point I'm making is YOU are great, YOU are a business owner, why give yourself a label that may deter people from doing business with you. 

It's not that I won't/don't do business with parents but on the whole they get this concept that they are great people and great at what they do. 

The point I am trying to make is we are all different, we are all great at something so why do we need the protection of a label or group that may exclude. I love empowerment but why should I be excluded from sharing that joy because I don't have children. Or because I'm the wrong sex, ethnic group, sexuality, physicality etc. The list is limitless. 

Let's empower together, everyone, regardless of age, sex, finances, ethnicity. We are all the same we can all support each other. Lets not build barriers in a world where there are already too many restrictions. 

I saw this video http://youtu.be/qOz0DHoMsq8 this morning and it's amazing. It's part of a project by Karen Waldron (http://www.chookooloonks.com) 

I love it. But again it's aimed at women. I was watching it and thinking wow this is amazing but wouldn't it be great if there was one with men and women in it. To promote self esteem to all!!  Men have self esteem issues too. 

Let's remember we are all beautiful, we are all brilliant because that's the way The Lord made us! (Feel free to enter the name of your higher power here) 

A big part of what I do with my business is helping to empower my clients to achieve their goals and dreams. So if you would like to be part of my empowerment circle get in touch today and see what we can achieve together. 

Together we are stronger.
