The Idea Seed of your business - page 1 of the first 8 pages
Last week I shared the titles of the first 8 pages of my business diary. Under these 8 headings I list strategies to grow your business. If you concentrate on these 8 titles, and nothing else, your business will thrive.
In this article, let’s talk about the most important step in your business planning. This is the step that most entrepreneurs spend much of their time thinking and talking about (especially at dinner parties) but rarely enough time researching!
The idea which will become the seed your business will grow from.
If you’re like me, and like most entrepreneurs, you have no shortage of ideas. Everywhere you look you see business ideas. The challenge is choosing one and sticking with it, instead of going off at a tangent and following the next “bright shiny object” which is another “glittering seed”.
So how do you choose? Read more

The First 8 Pages
Filed under: Business Skills, Collaborative Projects, Internet Basics, List Building, Members Opportunities, Where to Start
Let me share with you the first 8 pages of my diary. You see, each of these pages has a different title I have written. Each title relates to one of 8 steps which have the power to transform a business.
Each step is just as important as the other and under each heading I list ideas and strategies as I learn them or get a brainwave. That way, when I am looking for ideas to grow my business, I just look on the appropriate page. It also means I don’t get overwhelmed by ideas and feel pressured to do everything at once. I know where to find it.
So, what are these 8 key steps? 8 steps that you only need to make small changes to, in order to see massive results?
Over the next few articles I will expand on each of the steps but I’ll list them below. Keep these in mind when planning a project or when looking for ways to increase your profits. So here goes… Read more

a few survey results for you already
Filed under: About WWW, Internet Basics, Where to Start
Thanks so much everyone who has taken the time so far to fill in the Wonderful Web Women survey. You still have until monday night at midnight (Aussie time) to enter for your chance to win thousands of dollars of great coaching products.
You can get all the details here (and check out a little of my home office while you’re there).
Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing the results of the survey with you and let you know the actions I have taken based on your feedback. I don’t know about you, but i always want to know the results of surveys I fill in but people rarely share them.
Results so far for Question 12. What is your preferred way of receiving information?
In this question I gave you lots of different ways to receive info (such as CDs, ebooks, events etc) and asked you to rate them as your most preferred to least preferred way of learning.
Results so far?
Out of 13 choices, the most preferred is:
One-on-one mentoring (41.9%)
Peer masterminds (36.1)
I can help you with finding a great peer mentoring group and then help you to manage the group so you all create great success. In fact, we already have 5 peer mastermind groups working well. All gold members can join one.
I can also help you with one-on-one mentoring.
I only ever work closely with a handful of people as I give a lot of my time. I only work with action takers so there is an application process. I had closed this service but now I have moved back into my home office I have some extra hours in my week.
So I have vacancies for 2 people only. I usually only work with people on a 6 month program (this gets results) and do not intend to offer this again after December. My other mentoring clients are already half way through their programs. So I can offer a 4 month mentorship (which allows us both time to have holidays and finish before Christmas). But only for 2 people.
You can details on the 6 month program here and the application form. To get the new price, simply multiply the price by 0.67 and this will give you the 4 month price.

Step 8: 8 steps to build an internet business that will last.
Step 8: Encourage a 2 way relationship This is the most powerful thing you can do to build your Internet business. People buy from people they know and trust. It’s just like dating. You’re not looking for a one night stand here, you’re looking for commitment. So you need to encourage them to communicate with you and share a part of themselves. This is where your blog comes in. In every email you send, refer people back to your blog. A great way to do this is include only part of your great article in your email and link to your blog so they can read the rest. In the blog and the email ask them to leave comments and questions. Make sure you reply, on the blog, to every comment that is made. If people feel that you are listening, they are more likely to listen to you
A final note In business, relationships equal cash. Traditionally people have seen the Internet as a place that isolates people and that makes it difficult to develop relationships. In fact, the opposite is true. By using the steps above, your potential customers will feel as though they know you much more than if they had walked into your shop once-off. And as I said before, people buy from people who they know, like and trust.
