By Sylvia Browder, on August 24th, 2011% Recently, a friend told me about a negative incident she had while dining at a large restaurant chain. Her waitress was very rude and inattentive. By the time her meal arrived, her colleague had finished eating. The last straw was realizing her steak was prepared wrong. Angrily, she took out her I Phone and sent out a tweet to her followers about her experience. Minutes later, she received an apology from the restaurant’s general manager; the cost of her meal was waived; and she was given a $100 gift certificate for a future visit. Imagine if that restaurant chain didn’t have a social media presence? What you don’t know can harm you!
By CEOMamma, on August 19th, 2011% Better yet, let me decode that question for you so that you can better decide your answer, as I present it to you in a way that is more realistic, “Am I struggling miserably with my small business, feeling stuck and really don’t know what to do?”
If you answered YES, keep reading…
Early in the start-up phase of my small business journey, I was one who “struggled miserably”. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I didn’t have a clue about what I was doing. I went through SO many failures and setbacks its a wonder I’m still here.
I have been scammed, cheated out of money, laughed at and was beyond stressed during the early years of my business. I was the true definition of “Failing Forward”

By CEOMamma, on July 4th, 2011% Happy 4th of July!
 Over this weekend, I’ve been really reflecting on what this holiday truly means and how it relates to us, entrepreneurs and small business owners. The same way our country declared independence on this day in 1776…we too, can claim our freedom as independent professionals!
Joining the inner circle of freedom seekers and dream chasers, and making the decision to become an entrepreneur seems natural to our biological makeup…its who we are. I believe, one chooses to pursue the path of entrepreneurship because we have a deeply rooted, inner mission to make a huge difference in the world, in a unique way.
By CEOMamma, on June 27th, 2011% When you chose the road less traveled, the path of entrepreneurship, you may find yourself being faced with many roadblocks and difficult situations that can literally stop you dead in your tracks.
Especially if you are pursuing your entrepreneurial dream full time, like me. You will have to work three times as hard as the average person and learn to be resilient in the face of adversity.
It doesn’t matter who you are or what your background is…
You are going to experience negativity in your daily business life, on top of whatever is going on in your personal life. This is one reason why everyone is not designed to be an entrepreneur. Being women, we often have a hard time putting our emotions and feelings in check and allow outside distractions to interfere with the operation of our business.
By CEOMamma, on June 22nd, 2011% Do you sometimes wonder why some of the women in your networking circles or groups seem to be doing really well in their businesses while others don’t. Are you interested in learning what the women who are seeing success are doing to achieve it?
Listen to my short audio below as I share with you the distinctive difference between successful women entrepreneurs and those who aren’t…yet!
Be sure to share your opinion in the comments below…let me know your thoughts.
By CEOMamma, on June 20th, 2011% No matter how deep the desire is to be a successful woman entrepreneur, some of us may be far from that reality because of the unintentional self-sabotage we invite into our business each day.
If you have goals of being a successful woman in business but you are barely making any progress toward achieving those goals, it could very well be you are operating in a form of self-sabotage.
Lack of Focus
You may not realize it but you could possibly lack the focus needed to be an entrepreneur working for yourself. When you are not focused each day on getting the things done in your business that will earn you a profit, recognize you need to make a change.

Business owners know all too well that finding the best qualified leads takes time… lots of time! So, what if there was a way to skip the time it takes to develop ‘cold leads?’ Now, close your eyes and imagine building a referral network. Even more, it won’t cost you a dime! Does that sound too good to be true?
It can be done by adapting referral networking. A referral network is a group of people who already know and trust you, understand your business concept and willing to refer people interested in buying your product or service. This is an extremely effective way to create a steady stream of very warm leads. Here are 4 tips to create a powerful referral marketing strategy.
