"Power" Points- takeaways from Thursday's Power Lunch

“Power” Points

During Thursday’s Power Lunch we discussed the lessons we have learned about running our businesses from the tumultuous economy.  Here are the “power” points from our conversation:

1.     Business requires face to face interaction

2.     It feels great to give but if you give to the right people, you can feel great and grow your business.  Be strategic.

3.     Technology is wonderful but never be afraid to return to the basics.  It is a people business.

4.     The economy has created many interesting business partners.  One of the greatest trends: Gen X kids going in to business with Boomer parents.

5.     Don’t try to be something you are not.   If you are a woman in business-run your business like a woman-not a man

6.     It is never too late to re-invent yourself or your business.  If what you are doing is not working, stop.  Change direction.  Fight hard for what you really want.

7.     Professional women supporting one another in business = a Powerful force!

Thank you to all of the amazing women who participated.  Thank you for the connection and the wisdom.  I look forward to October's participants.
