Think & Work Smarter not harder


This post is for all you hard working business minded woman, in Weldon NC who have recently opened a new small  business or those veterans, who have owned and operated a business for some time, doing your best to help revitalize downtown Weldon. Bravo! Hats off to these ladies and hubbies who support them.








Partnering and collaborating with other (like) businesses, using online resources and word of mouth networking, allows for more thought provoking ideas to expand a small business and helped women entrepreneurs to work smarter in the 21st Century.
For example, Susan T. Spencer was the “first and only woman general manager of an NFL team” and became “accustomed to playing in the big leagues with men. In
the 1980s, she was vice president, legal counsel and acting general manager of
the Philadelphia Eagles football team.”

But that is not where she started. Susan made clothes for herself and friends but shocked and discouraged. She said, “when I counted my money. She had less than she started with.”
So, what does she do? You guessed it, she began to think and work smarter.
She found a small clothing manufacturer who was an immigrant, made a deal with him to make her clothing line in quantity at a lower cost. He agreed and the rest of the story is history and about more partnering, networking and using the web as a resource to find like business willing to work with you and a tool that is right at your finger tips.
The web is like a bushel of ideas and we can learn from one another’s ideas on the web and apply them to your business.
