Sweeties it's break over and we shall proceed with the business of becoming "Economic Heroines".

No force can stop a woman determined to rise, all you need is to desire FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE.

I may not be able to do a Fine recap of our lesson yesterday for want of time, just incase you missed out you can go back to our previous Episode on BEAUTY AND THE BRIEFCASE.

Just to give you a clue, we were discussing PRACTICAL ways of becoming an Entrepreneur and we had looked at 4points already. We'll just continue with point 5.

5. START SOMEWHERE:
For the most amazing ideas that unfortunately now reside in grave yards all over the world, the one thing common to all was NOT STARTING.
I can write a thesis on this because I've been there too and I'm passionate about not letting others get into the same rut!

My candid advice would be," throw all well thought caution to the wind".
It's time to ignore the TRAFFIC SIGN especially the STOP SIGN, this is the only place where you are allowed to drive "recklessly".

6. DON'T GIVE UP:
I'll be lying to you if I told you becoming an entrepreneur will be a walk in the park.
There will be challenges as common to every process of " child bearing", but my Darlings do not throw in the towel!

I repeat, DO NOT THROW IN THE TOWEL!

Imagine conceiving a child and not being able to DELIVER, what a waste!
I cannot over emphasize that you should hold on tight and KEEP PUSHING!
As with an EXPECTANT MOM let your eyes be on the TROPHY;a business that SURVIVED!

7. BE WILLING TO MAKE MISTAKES
Yeah you heard me!
Contrary to the opinions of perfectionists do not be afraid to make mistakes or to fail.
Embrace mistakes as part of the growth process.
I'm not saying go ahead and make AVOIDABLE MISTAKES but where you make a mistake, do not brood. Just take note of LESSONS LEARNED and MOVE ON!

8. KEEP LEARNING
Get conversant with the latest trends in your sphere of business.
If you refuse to learn, you will soon become Obsolete. Ask the brand called Nokia!
They had the Mobile phone market but they lost out because they became too COMFORTABLE!

We aren't done with this yet. I'll just let you stew on this for a while!
To be continued.....
I won't go anywhere if I were you!
