What’s on your 10 in ‘10 list?

January 2nd, 2010

Flame. 2010

Now that we are into the new year (I’m hesitant to say “decade” because for some that’s still up for debate,)  we start to declare resolutions.

Instead of coming up with a long list, why not simply it into 10 goals. You can then keep track of a goal a month and have the flexibility to relax for a month or two.

Here are my 10 for 2010.

  1. Stay healthy or else the rest of this list won’t matter.
  2. Either upgrade or buy a new desktop computer.
  3. Finally get my driver’s license (I’m a native New Yorker, so driving hasn’t been a priority.)
  4. Schedule informal Coffee Conversations with friends and colleagues.
  5. Spend more time with my family (especially my growing niece.)
  6. Write more with pen and paper
  7. Speak or attend at more conferences than I did last year
  8. Look for collaborative opportunities with resourceful people
  9. Find clients that I enjoy working with so that work doesn’t feel like “work”.
  10. Achieve one more internet certification.

What are you 10 for ‘10? Let us know in the comments.

Wish Upon a List

December 16th, 2009

Sometime ago, I written several posts about online retail sites that have wishlists.

Now, I’m back to provide an update.

If you are familiar with  The Secret and the Law of Attraction, then you know that a wishlist can be seen as an extension of Vision Board.

When I initially written  the 12 days of wishlists,   there was no way to centralize all the products that I wanted.

Now Amazon, has answered the call, with its Universal Wishlist.

With Amazon’s recent feature, you can “bookmark” any item from any online store and place it on  your Amazon wishlist.

This works out especially well if you are organizing gifts for members of the family. Just create a separate wishlist for them  and keep it private so there will be no spoilers.

So what are you waiting for? If you have a wishlist , great!  If not, its never too late to get started. Plus, you don’t need the holidays as an excuse to have one.

Are you riding the wave?

What is Google Wave?

Just in case you haven’t heard, Google has recently launched Google Wave. Google Wave is a service were you can collaborate with colleagues using text, photos, videos and links. I have used it to communicate with friends, but I am curious about its business applications. We have a few invites available. Every 100th subscriber to The WildWE Facebook Page will receive a Google Wave invite.

Also we are planning something extra special for our 1000th subscriber. So stay tuned.

Work Less?

November 30th, 2009

by Ja-Naé Duane

After reading “Work Less” from Entrepreneur.com, it made me realize that many of us forget why we started our own businesses in the first place. Here are 3 Simple reminders:

  • Spend More Time with our Friends and Families: Many entrepreneurs start their own businesses to make their own hours and work from home.  Setting a schedule that allows you to have the time to spend with your loved ones is the key to keeping that balance you crave.
  • I Can Do it Better Myself: Great! Then prove it. Show the world that a great product and great customer service doesn’t have to swallow your life up. This is your chance!
  • FUN: When you lose the fun in life and in work, then you lose yourself. This is what life is all about. How can you add more fun in your life?

This is your life! This is your business! How are you going to make the most of it? Share your own stories and thoughts below.

How to Get Things Done: 3 Easy Ways!

by Wild Women Entrepreneurs

We’ve all heard people say “I have a system”.  That system can be anything from a way of losing weight to getting that to-do list done. What’s nice about them is that systems help take the frustration out of daily living.  They help you do what you WANT to do in an easier, more consistent way.  A system practically does the work for you.
to do
Here are 3 EASY every day systems that will help you get things done:

    #1.  Top 3 Things That Will Make the Most Impact: Make a list of everything you have to do. Then figure out what are the top 3 things that you could do that would make the biggest impact. Make sure you absolutely do those 3 things. If you get to the others items on your list, then it’s an added bonus!

    #2. Make an Appointment with Your To-Do: When we schedule appointments, we put them in our calendars and treat them with a little more seriousness. So, do the same with items on your to-do list. Schedule a specific time and day that certain items need to get done. This is a great way to hold yourself accountable for getting things done.

    #3.   Delegate Out: Many people, particular women, feel that they could/would/should handle everything themselves. Do you fall into this trap now and again? If so, look at your list and figure what could be delegated and to whom? Remember, you’re a part of a community. Family, friends, and colleagues can help you get things done!

Take a look at your systems.  What’s working? What needs to be changed? Figure out what stays and what goes. You may find that you just needed to quickly fine-tune your strategy!
