Investing in Property caution
Many of these “green” investors are making poor judgement calls, buying properties without doing their due diligence and paying the same high price for their mistakes as others have before them.
The take home message is that now, more than ever, you need to avoid getting swept up in the housing market hype and keep a level head when it comes to purchasing property, whether you’re a homeowner or investor.
With the market being selective as to which properties are increasing in value, it is critical that you do your homework and remember that you can’t just buy any property and become a successful property investor. You need to look for the type of property that will out perform the averages in the long term, regardless of cyclical highs and lows.

How to successfully promote your entrepreneurial business
To succeed as an entrepreneur, especially a woman entrepreneur you need a good dose of self confidence is a prerequisite. Pushing yourself into the market place is at times a necessity.But what guidelines should be followed when interacting with potential clients?Getting super-promotional is understandable but can cause a difficult situation to arrise. In order to promote your entrepreneurial idea you may find that you are ready to promote your business or product or idea and you may be ready to sell it but the timing may not be right for the client and they are not ready to listen let alone buy or support in any way.
Before jumping in with the sales message and an over exhuberant confidence consideration needs to be given to the context of the situation and the people involved. There is always a need to stop, listen, and appropriately connect when the situation either lends itself or you are able to steer the conversation into the appropriate direction. So to promote your entrepreneurial business don't just tell everyone about it and then take off. You need to placate a relationship, listen and respond appropriately, build your credibility and offer your services when the situation presents itself and you have the foundation on which to successfully build your entrepreneurial business.
