TROVA Business Network and Professional Think Tank will officially launch in February 2011, but is taking applications for its first 50 leaders NOW.
For women, marketing is not mathematics. It is not an exact or definite science. Thank goodness because if it were, I would be standing in deep dung of some kind. Marketing deals with the human psyche, something I know something about. And for women, it also deals with the human heart. Women buy differently than men. When marketers fail to realize this fundamental reality, they can abide by marketing “rules” which turn out to be myths. Here is a list of nine ‘marketing to women’ myths.
Positive thinking, like love, is a choice. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable outcomes, and with it, it brings inner peace, success, improved relationships, better health, happiness and satisfaction. Both positive thinking and love radiate so that people around you can not only feel it, but they are influenced by what they feel.
“The Value of life can be measured by one’s ability to affect the destiny of one less advantaged. Since death is an absolute certainty for everyone, the important variable is the quality of life one leads between the times of birth and death.”
Hey TROVA Small Business Professionals, its Dawn Billings, CEO and Founder of The Heart Link Network. It is the beginning of a new year and with a new beginning comes the opportunity to reflect on your business, and set new goals and reestablish your direction.

Do Thoughts Effect Our Health?
Hey amazing women entrepreneurs, I know you have heart that your thoughts effect your success in life and relationships, but do you think that thoughts effect your health? Well exciting new research is out.
According to Harvard Medical School professor Herber Benson, M.D., co-senior author of the Plos ONE report, “Now we’ve found how changing the activity of the mind can alter the way basic genetic instructions are implemented. The mind can actively turn on and turn off genes.”
If your schedule has been anything like mine, there is a good chance you feel like you have had too many cups of coffee, and too few cups of coffee at the same time. Whenever I feel like this my favorite coping mechanism is called ‘binge mode’ where I binge on sugar cookies, chips, spinach dip, or donuts, something in the not so very healthy category. I am smart enough to know this is not the healthy strategy. The healthy strategy is to take a short moment to physically help myself relax.
Juice fasting is a great way to restore the body system to a healthy condition and to lose weight at the same time. Drinking juice, especially fresh squeezed, is easy with today’s juicers, and we can get more vitamins and minerals into your diet by simply drinking fresh fruit juices, vegetables juice.
So now let’s talk about time. Many people spell love, T-I-M-E. In order for relationships to truly thrive they must be given the time to continue to grow. Many people is very shaky relationships report that their partner, husband or wife, doesn’t MAKE time for them. When this happens, the person begins to feel as though they do not matter, or they are not a priority. This can be very damaging to a relationship.
Ninety percent of all couples filing for divorce report that they do not feel their partner listens to them. If you don’t listen, you can’t communicate, and if you can’t communicate, a relationship begins to get toxic and poison the love that was once so real. That is why one of our endowment challenges is to remember the importance of listening. This is series 8 of the endowment challenges that will insure your relationship is endowed, happy, safe and successful.
Ten seconds, that’s all it takes. When your partner walks through the door, acknowledge them. When you try to kiss for ten seconds, at first, it will feel like a very long time which will tell you how you have gotten into the habit of barley pecking one another, or not kissing or touching at all.
When I was younger, I asked my mother once how she picked the things that she chose to be really upset about. She said that she asked herself a simple but important question: “Will this matter at Christmas?” We can find ourselves in the middle of a trivial, unimportant dispute before we have taken the time to ask ourselves if it really matters in the larger scheme of life.
Consistent loving actions build a safety net for those we love, they create a safe environment for love to be nurtured. Safety is one of the most critical elements of a happy, healthy, successful relationship.
Action is defined in relationships by our behaviors. Dedicated, loving, consistent, giving, thoughtful, appreciative, compassionate and tender behaviors feed a relationship and make it strong.
Now that you’ve committed to viewing your partner through loving lenses of endowment and speaking to them with words of love and kindness, it is time to show your Appreciation. Appreciation melts hearts. In an employment survey, appreciation for a job well done was the most desired reward. The world seems eager to find the places where we fall, and point out our mistakes. It is up to the one’s who love us to point out what is wonderful about us.

How many times have you seen—or experienced –partners treating each other in harsh, disrespectful ways? Too often we take our partners for granted, and disrespect or rudeness intentional or unintentional flows from our mouths before we realize what we are saying.
