Are you Sexy or Smart?

Ok Ladies, let’s get real about your money, your business, and your frustration.  I’m hearing from far too many of you that when you’re feeling miserable about your business, you go SHOPPING. Now, I have nothing against a girl spending her hard earned cash on a sexy pair of shoes, that is if you can afford them.


Just because you have some money in your bank account doesn’t mean it’s time for a spending spree…in fact it means just the opposite.  Before you spend a dime take a look at what you need to boost your business. Do you have a short and sassy business plan, a killer website that’s getting you sales, or even a hint of a marketing budget?  Well, do you?  If you do, congratulations and have fun at the mall. If you don't, whoa, Nellie. 

I get it…shopping can give you that emotional high when you’re outlook is gloomy but it only adds to your problems.  How is your business ever going to be the success you dream about if regularly blow your cash?   Smart entrepreneurs know that gratification isn’t instant… it’s built piece by piece over time.  Keep your eye on the prize and shop for a web designer, marketing expert, an assistant, or business strategist that’ll ramp up your business along with your self-esteem.


So the next time you find yourself at the mall just say “No, No, No.” and put that hot dress and those sexy shoes back on the rack.

  1. A good professional wardrobe is also built piece by piece and in order to be taken seriously you need to dress the part. Very important for those that conduct presentations and are young professionals :-) The best thing to do is spend wisely. No impluse shopping on pieces that don't integrate nicely into your wardrobe, are way out of your budget, or you aren't sure about in the first place. Buy pieces you love and know you will wear often.
