Souper Easy Dinner
December 28, 2007 · Written by Heather Juma
As woman entrepreneurs, we have an abundance of tasks to take care of through the day and dinner is not usually a priority. However, I have the perfect answer that will ensure you will be staying away from the cardboard pizza boxes.
Not many people give soup and salad the credit it rightfully deserves and in a pinch, it can really be a lifesaver, accommodating to your busy lifestyle as well as a healthy choice of dinner.
Starting with a can of soup, perhaps one of those Progresso soups with the chunky vegetables and meat or something resembling a bit more than condensed, flavored water. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a few grinds of black pepper. If you have a few sprigs of parsley handy, chop it up and sprinkle it on just before serving.
Everyone buys (or has bought) those bagged salads, so you can buy them with the dried cranberries ad nuts in them. Make sure to rinse off the salad greens–Do not trust the packaging and think they are already pre-washed.) If you didn’t buy the salad with all the fixings, throw in some dried cranberries, toast a few almonds or walnuts, sprinkle in your favorite cheese and mix it up really well. Dress it up with your favorite bottled or homemade dressing and season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
You can warm a baguette up in the can and even toast some nuts for it–Toasting nuts gives them a lot more flavor. Finish off the dinner with a luscious berry sorbet with a side of cookies and you’re good to go!
And there you have it–A souper easy dinner!

All entrepreneurs have a rough time in the beginning between all of the work that piles up, the constant ideas of how you can sell more products or drive more interested people to your website to sell your services. Most of the time, we feel as if there aren’t enough hours in a day and if we had 48 hours in a day, we still wouldn’t have enough time to get everything done!
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of work you may have stacking up, but just remember to have patience and keep your mind and body fit and healthy. The littlest things can help you in your success, and remember that what you are working so hard for now will pay off in the future.

Show Me the Money!

Can you show me the money?
This is a favorite question I like to ask women business owners about their business. However, most of them can’t tell me that their revenue model or financial forecast is.
I know that many women like to think that they are in business to save mankind. Some may feel as if they are in it to spread their good knowledge and humanitarianism, but why would anybody start their own business if they didn’t want to make money? These same people are also the ones not forming nonprofit organizations and always complaining about debt and bills.
While it’s great to have a laundry list of “other” reasons as to why you’ve decided to start your own business, what good does that do if you’re struggling financially? What are the chances your business will survive long if you aren’t making money?
So lets take this time to talk a little about money.
Your revenue model explains exactly “how” you make money. How much you will charge for a product or for a service and how much it costs you to product the product or service.
Your financial forecast is next and this is where the fun part comes in. You get to decide how much money you’re going to make! Predict what you would like your sales to be for the next month, then put a marketing plan into effect making your sales goals a reality.
That’s all there is to it! It’s a very simplified version, but women just starting their own businesses can learn a great deal just by making a few financial strategic plans, which simplify your finances in a nutshell and make it so you have an idea of where you will be financially in just a few, short months.
Grab your calculators, ladies, and get to work. Figure out your revenue model and then your financial forecast. In very little time you just may see those numbers hit six figures!

Hello, ladies!
Thank you for joining us on the new launch of GWN Lifestyle: The Online Magazine for the Woman Entrepreneur.
GWN Lifestyle is not your typical, corporate, business-targeted website. We know what it is like to be an employee and we are also familiar with the run of the mill corporate networking–The kind that everyone hates. GWN is about women working with other women to achieve their goals. We have seen incredible things happen when women work at a time, rather than competing with one another. So we’re here to start a movement!
GWN Lifestyle is all about women expanding their lives and learning to live BIG! And speaking of going big, we have crunched the numbers and we’ve figured out that women need to earn at least $100,000 per year in order to be able to afford a nice, middle class lifestyle. As a single mother of two teenagers living in San Diego, California, it takes a lot more than that, but $100,000 in income per year is a comfortable place to start.
Our mission is to help women create the lives they love and deserve. Life becomes a lot easier and much more fun when you have money in the bank. Once finances are taken care of, it is amazing to see the wild, crazy, and outrageous lives women lead. That’s what life is all about, right? Having the BEST time of your life!
When was the last time you set a goal and went for it? Don’t you think it’s time to dust off your dreams and make your life the absolute best that you can? Take a few moments and hide away from the world. Lock the bathroom door, take a bubble bath and dream about what your life can be like. Dream about the life that you get to create–Have fun and go wild.
At GWN Lifestyle we have a saying, “Be Fierce, Be Fearless, Be Fabulous and Have Fun!” So go out and make it happen!
