Laurie Knight and I had the opportunity to speak about how showing up authentically in all that you do is key. When you do this, there is no competition. Laurie is in the process of creating a community to empower women. Check out her video and get the feel of what she’s trying to create. I’m also a big fan of her music and I highly recommend listening to her recent CD. (My favorite is song #9 ).

As entrepreneurs, most of us are doing businesses on our own. Many of us, however, long for the support that a joint venture partnership provides. I believe there is so much more that can be done when we work and bring our strengths together in a joint venture. The question is – how do you create a partnership that works for both of you, as well as the communities you’re serving?

I interviewed Gina Bell, a friend of mine and the founder of GinaBellInc.com, for some tips on how to collaborate effectively and profitably. I want to share with you how you can find the “right” partner for your business and start an enjoyable and prosperous joint venture.

As women and mom entrepreneurs there are so many things to juggle – work, kids, marriage, self, friendships, spirit and family. Keeping them all going is a challenge and one that requires consciousness and compassion. The truth is over the past few months my focus has been more on my business and my kids than on my marriage, and we’ve all suffered. From conversations with many, I don’t think that I’m alone in this. I want to share a few suggestions that I’m beginning to put in place because I’m committed to making my marriage work, and want to support those of you in a similar place.
