In business, as in life, there will be many Siren Songs to tempt you.  For instance, should I upgrade my website because someone just told me I should?  Or, maybe I’ll spend more time figuring out how this problem happened <insert problem here> before I take action on it.  Even, I screwed up my offer to my clients, think I’ll hide in embarassment and not try again.  Any of these sound familiar, or remind you of something you may have done yourself?

The good news is,  Ulysses was smart enough to have his men put beeswax in their ears, get out the sturdy roupe, and tie him up – all in preparation to avoid hearing the Sirens, heeding their call.  What do you need to tie yourself up about in order to escape the Sirens?  What shiny, reasonable sounding thing is calling for your attention, that you should sail by?  Hit reply and let me know what Sirens you’re facing, how you plan to sail by them, and what kind of rope you’re using!

Upcoming Groovy Things

Two things are coming up that I’m excited to share with you!

The first is that i was recently interviewed by Lev Natan as part of his Social Entrepreneur Interview Series.  We discussed, among other things, what inspired me to become an entrepreneur, what challenges I’ve faced, and how I inject meaning into my work.  My interview should be up within the week; to hear me, you can register here: http://www.thesocialentrepreneursquest.com/

Secondly, a reminder of the Super Women Summit for Women Entrepreneurs; the facebook fanpage has exploded.  There are a lot of fantastic women involved in this project, which begins next week.  Like the fan page, and sign up now to participate!
