Join Me for “Power Lunch with Susan” and Power-up Your BusinessOne of the things that inspires and energizes me is talking with and listening to successful business women. It is incredible to hear how they started and grew their businesses to multi-million dollar success. That's one of the reasons I wrote The Girls' Guide to Building a Million Dollar Business." I wanted to share their stories so we could all learn what it really takes to create a multi-million or billion dollar enterprise. One of the key elements I've found is the importance of surrounding yourself with a strong support network of people who can help you tackle the challenges ahead. But how do you put that network together when you are starting a business? Where do you meet the right people who can mentor and guide you? Well, I have an answer for you. I've created a new Internet radio program series called "Power Lunch with Susan" to connect you to people who have been down the road you are traveling or to small business experts who can share valuable information to assist you as you work to grow your business. Why Internet radio (podcasts)? First, it's convenient for you. I know how busy your lives are so it was important to me to make sure the programs are easily accessible and conducive to your lifestyle needs. New programs will launch each week and they will be available on demand on SBTV.com or you can download them to your MP3 player and listen whenever and wherever you choose. Secondly, there is something more compelling about hearing the voices of my guests that makes my show more intimate than an on-line or magazine article. In our first show, Secrets of Success, you'll meet multi-million dollar business owners, Rebecca Herwick, President and CEO of Global Products, Inc., who does business all around the globe and Bonny Filandrinos, President of Staffing Solutions, whose business success came from identifying a unique value proposition in the staffing industry. Future programs featuring Nely Galan, creator of the hit television program The Swan, and a recent participant on The Celebrity Apprentice. Wait until you hear what she has to say. We'll also cover topics such as the importance of incorporating technology into your business for greater productivity and profitability. And if you don't think technology is important – you'll learn how some small businesses in the most traditional industries are utilizing technology to create a substantial competitive advantage. I'm also planning a program on dealing with Fibromyalgia in the workplace. If you read my blog regularly you know I have Fibromyalgia – an invisible disease that primarily affects women. How do you get an accurate diagnosis? How does it impact your ability to work and run your company? You'll hear from some leading experts from the medical field as well as the area of workplace accommodations. After each program, feel free to email me with any questions, comments or concerns about the programs. Beginning an after-program dialogue is just as important as learning from the experts. My email is SWS@SBTV.com Finally, if there are any particular topics you'd like us to discuss in upcoming shows, let us know. Power Lunch with Susan is for you. I'm excited about the program and I hope you'll find it helpful too. So join me for Power Lunch with Susan and power-up your business success.
