My thanks for your support through 2009 and my best wishes to you and your family for a prosperous new year.

Enjoy this issue and read on for details of what's to come in 2010.

Thanks to members Eleni Mitakos and Deborah Keep for their articles. Eleni tells us how MentorNet helped her establish a clear path to her goals and Deborah shares her NLP experience to give us tips how to stop holding ourselves back.

An expert from brilliantly titled book "Who Stole My Mojo" provides practical tips to get your Mojo back for the new year (if indeed you found that it has escaped you recently).

And, Hugh Gyton looks at the never-pleasant area of having difficult conversations - something that, as businesswomen, we will have to do more than a few times.

What's new for 2010!

This year we presented dozens of webinars of business subjects that are core to your business. We explored social media (especially Facebook and Twitter), looked at branding, sales, marketing, business planning and lots more. These webinars are available to members to review at any time at no cost, and to non-members at a small fee for the great education that is within these. Here are some of the webinars available for members to view at no charge:

Get A Grip - Time Management Strategies
Twitter for Business
Defining Leadership
How to Use Social Media to Grow Your Business
Smart Networking
Online Business Boosters

In 2010 we'll continue to bring education to you with presentations from subject matter experts on topics that are current and relevant to your business.

In 2009 hundreds of business owners took part in our two ecourses - 30 Days of Social Media and 30 Days of Networking. We'll present more business e-courses in 2010.

Book Study Programs - NEW

We're very excited to dig deep into some powerful business books with you and to help you put their lessons in action. Learn more about the book study programs here.

Networking Events

We know it's important for you to connect to the right people to help you grow your business. But networking events need to do more than show you what to do with a business card!

We invite you to take part in our Member MeetUps - face-to-face networking events hosted by members. collaborate and communicate with your network. We actually help you overcome mingle-a-phobia and make great connections.

Another way to meet up and network with other members is through the Goals Groups and Mastermind Groups which let you create your own advisory and peer-to-peer support group.

Thanks for your support throughout 2009. We look forward to supporting you and you business in 2010.
