The Gardens of Billionaires

Whenever I envision the home of a billionaire, no matter what style of architecture their home features, there is always a beautiful garden. In this garden there are often many beautiful and colorful flowers, shrubs, trees and the obligatory fountain or statue.

Sweet Dreams for an Entrepreneurial Woman with a Passion for Pajamas

This is a guest post from female entrepreneur Anita Mahaffey, writing about her experiences with starting her own business.

What do night sweat pajamas and a summer in Turkey have in common?

“As I boarded my flight in 1976 to spend the summer as an exchange student in Turkey, I would have laughed my way off the plane if someone told me that in 30 years I would be back in Turkey manufacturing hot-flash sleepwear.

Idealize Often, Use a Pedestal With Caution

Looking back on my life I realize that I have had many great mentors and idols. They have all helped me to grow as a person and to become the woman that I am today. I wanted to share some of my experiences with mentors and to encourage you to make a similar list and look for the current day mentors that inspire you today. I am still finding new mentors every day and I look forward to each new encounter knowing that I might meet a mentor within them. I remember how much I looked up to the women in my life and how much I tried to be like them. I would preen like Marilyn Monroe, kick like my Tae Kwon Do instructor, program my computer like Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I looked up to my babysitters and would often ask them to tell me stories about their lives, how many friends they had or what having a boyfriend was like and what made them tick. Continue reading »
