Birthday Celebration with The Spunky Old Broad

December 6, 2010

It’s been a busy week.  Celebrated my son’s 46th birthday on
Saturday.  Small gathering but a lovely one.  Had a wonderful
lunch with an alumni rep from my post graduate university,
Nova Southeastern U.

Have been doing a lot of research for my S.O.B.’s now officially
known as the “Spunky Outrageous Broads.”  We are starting a
bunch of teleseminars after the first of the year. So hopefully
you will be joining us!

Attended a Holiday networking session with TCI, a high level
women’s networking group and we had our official meetup group
of Spunky Old Broads on last Friday.  Interesting women with
interesting ideas.

If you would like to meet with us, check us out on meetup and
look for Spunky Old Broad.  Also, if you want to like us on
Facebook, here is the link:

We really want to build this community and give back to all the
women who are doing so much for their own community and the
world.  It is my mission and goal to mentor and guide as many
boomer women and beyond as possible, so if you know anyone who
should be part of us, have them subscribe to this newsletter
by going to our website and signing up.

Leaving tomorrow for San Diego with a full schedule on my plate
this time.  Seminars, holiday parties, promotional events and
of course, seeing friends.

Question and Answer:
Q:  There are many parties and events this holiday season.  And
some are on the same day and time.  How do you decide which ones
you should go to?  I don’t want to insult anyone.

A:  Well, this one is something I have to rely on my Mom for.
She always taught me to take the first invite I received.  And
if something came in after that, tough.  I know that’s harsh
especially if the second or third is really nifty, neat and
exciting.  But unless you can fit both in, you have to make the
choice.  People understand there are many invites out there and
know not everyone is going to make it.  I have two events myself
next week and can only make one.  The first I knew about two
months ago, and the other only came up last week.  Although I
probably would have preferred the second, I had already paid
for my ticket to the first one, so that’s where I’ll be.

Tips:
1.  The difference between success and failure is discipline and
commitment.
2.  Ethics are basic principles of right or good conduct.  And
everyone should have them.
3.  The basis of all negotiation is understanding and that means
the other person, organization or situation.
