Several Years ago as a result of my appearance as a contestant in The Next Internet Millionaire Online Virtual Reality Competion, I had the pleasure of meeting online a fabulous , caring woman by the name of Joanie Winberg. She and I hit bit off immediately as a result of our shared passion for helping women and their families.

The byproduct of that experience was that I was determined to create programs for women, by women. Two years ago, that was a bit hard to do, as men were by far the majority of those on the internet.

I’m THRILLED that there are far more women providing important and valuable solutions for women online TODAY!

One of those launches tomorrow, September 9th, 2009 and I’m thrilled to be part of a team of 5 experts coming together to provide solutions and support for Single Women, Single Again Women, Single Moms and Widows!

As a result of the feedback we’ve gotten from thousands of women, especially single moms, if that they don’t have time to spare. We heard them loud and clear, so put together an affordable program that will take only 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week in the convenience of their own homes or offices, that will provide information, advice, tips and resources (as well as free bonuses and a community of like minded women) in 5 major areas of their lives!

It’s cutting edge in delivery…5 minute or less videos wher women will actually get to see and hear each of us as we educate, inspire, motivate and support women who say “Single Again? Now What?

How about some support??? Will you give me a “High 5″ to that?

My friend Janet Beckers from Wonderful Web Women has created a storm of online positive business building action in her now famous Passion into Profit Challenge.

As part of the Challenge Janet (and others like myself  who know Janet very well ) inspired 63 people to take time out of their busy lives to create an info product then post it into her blog– many of whom had never made an info product before.

So inspiring…real people taking action towards their dreams.

Now Janet is upping the ante and flat out giving away videos jam-packed with some of her best ideas on how to create info products quickly…get potential JV’s to say ‘yes’ to you & attract consistent income online…through the power of JV expert Interviews.

This system has worked like a charm for Janet. And I’m saying it can work for YOU as well!

Janet went from close-to-broke and frustrated…to building a massive list, and generating consistent abundant income online through the power of JV interviews.

In fact she started out with no list, and no product and built up a huge reputation, a massive list and consistent income from a membership site in just months by interviewing the ‘top dogs’ in her field and leveraging off them in a ‘win win’ way.

Find out how she did it here:

P.S You get instant access to some of the videos and others you opt in for.
But here is a little secret…(So sshhhh!)….I happen to know there is an extra ‘mystery’ gift for you when you opt in.  I know you will really love it because it involves getting in touch with what is most important to you and living your passion.

I won’t spoil the surprise – you can find out here:

She did it! My daughter graduated from high school!

Graduation parties abound this time of year. GRAND celebrations…not just for our kids, but for us parents as well, who seriously questioned whether OUR child’s turn would truly come to pass.  There were times…

Like the day the report card came in the mail. “You skipped 6th hour 22 times? Unexcused absences how many days? Why wasn’t I notified? How is this possible? You’re grounded the rest of your life. AAARRRGH!”

The inevitable conversations with school adminstrators and councelors only served to strengthen my daughter’s resolve to find an alternative solution. Sitting in overfilled classrooms, listening to uninspired lectures, dealing with kids intent to disrupt, sick of the pressures of sex, drugs and alcohol, she’d had enough and wasn’t willing to do it anymore.

I FREAKED!

But thanks to the University of Miami’s College Prep Online High School, we found an alternative and a good one at that. I was a bit nervous about it, as the cost was a shocker and self-discipline was required. But since it was mid - semester, there weren’t alot of alternative solutions for her to remain a student.

Turned out to be the best move we could have made.

It was a turning point in her attitude and determination to do well in school. She went on to enroll in a dual credit program between a local charter school and the colleges in town. This last year, she completed not only high school but now has full year of college credits for the classes she finished at the local community college (with flying colors, I might add!).

So here’s my point…

GutZy Women is about helping people (especially the female type) get over their fear & frustration of computer technology and the Internet because it is the single most powerful educational tool in our world today. It allows you stay at home, yet have access to the most up-to-date information and the most knowledgeable people across the world.

It changes the way we live, learn and do business. Sometimes, as in my daughter’s case, it provides solutions. But for those of us who grew up in a different world, it’s not an easy thing to change our thought patterns.

How different the world is today for our graduates than in my day!

• I had a very hard time thinking, at first, that my girl would miss out on traditional high school life. Like sports, running for queen, school functions, annual signing, etc. But she didn’t! She had even more amazing experiences because she wasn’t afraid to step out of the box.

• I’d had a very hard time dealing with her coming home and telling me she couldn’t sit in a classroom, listen to lectures, put up with the way the kids treated each other and wanting to try an alternative to traditional high school. But she didn’t. She knew what she wanted and went after it.

• I was worried that she would have a hard time with the self discipline of online high school as well as waitressing part time. But she wasn’t. And now our daughter understands what it takes to live successfully in the world.

We are SO PROUD of her! She is an AMAZING, determined young woman!

Our hearts are exploding with joy that she represents the next generation of GUTZY WOMEN!

CONGRATULATIONS to all the new graduates, but especially to you parents out there who have survived it .

Here’s to us…HALLELUJAH!

 I am an Omnivore. What are you?

You can find out by taking a survey on the PEW Internet & American Life Project website. You probably already have a good feel for what kind of “techie” you are (or not), but you can see where you fit in with other Americans AND for those of you who are in “the business” you’ll find it valuable as well. Obviously, I’m fascinated enough to write about it.  Apparently I belong to only 8% of the American public who are deep users of Web 2.0 applications and mobile applications they’ve lovingly named “Omnivores”. 

Omnivores are a subset of people who fall into the “Elite Tech Users” categorywhich make up 31% of American adults. We are the most active participantsin the information society, consuming information goods and services ata high rate and using them as a platform for participation and self expression.We have a deep and varied tech appetite, which is why we are called the Omnivores. Most Omnivores are in their twenties (Where did I get lost?:) and nearly all have high-speed connections available at home or work. We are highly engaged with video online and digital content. Between blogging, maintaining our Web pages, remixing digital content, or posting our creations to our websites, we are creative participants in cyberspace. 

PEW divides Americans up into three main categories, as well as 10 subset groups and I’m sure you’re dying to know which group you belong to! Be sure to take the survey to find out, but in the meantime… Here’s the breakout according to the report written by John B Horrigan, Director of research for the PEW Internet & American Life Project, based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International between February 15 to April 6, 2006, among a sample of 4,001 adults, 18 and older. 

·                     Elite Tech Users (31% of American adults)

·                     Middle-of-the-road Tech Users (20%)

·                     Few Tech Assets (49%) 

Go take the survey, then come back tomorrow for some fascinating highlights and conclusions of this study.
