To become an Effective Leader, the person should always be aware of all the cons and pros of all prospective options, have excellent communication skills, and have a graceful personality. An Effective Leader knows how things can be improved or how to overcome any problem. An Effective Leader rallies people to move on the right and better path.

I am often asked for tips on how to succeed, so I thought that I’d offer up simple tips for job success. They apply everywhere, regardless of industry, and work anywhere.

Nearly everything in life is negotiable to some extent or another. This has been a realization that has been particularly slow to come to me, because I was raised to do what I was told to do without asking questions, and certainly without ever negotiating over the details.

I started the 60,000 strong Women’s Entrepreneur Network Facebook Group in May, 2015. It has been through a lot of ups and downs, but there are always those moments when you wonder as a group owner what exactly people are thinking. So, I’m going to share some of those here.

The ‘Power of We’. It’s at the root of everything good in our world. Relationships are the cornerstone of any business. When we work together, we can conquer just about anything.

It doesn’t matter who you are, someone will find a reason to not like you.

To say that 2016 was a rough year in my life would be an understatement. Aside from all the challenges, this year also brought me a tremendous number of lessons.

My challenge to you as 2016 comes to an end is to find one way that you can make the world a better place.
