Consider becoming partners!

When you're building a business, it's important to work with people you trust and like.

You'll want to decide if you want to contract out work (by hiring an individual or firm) or identifying partners who agree to work with you in exchange for equity in your endeavor. You could offer something like a 1%, 10%, 40% share (or more) in your company depending on what your potential partner brings to the table.

Mentoring is a great way to share your gifts and talents with others who benefit from your own experience. When you've faced challenges along the way, you have an opportunity to learn from others who have overcome similar obstacles. As you gain more experience, it's time for you to give back and share your knowledge with the next generation. Here are five ways to be a mentor to a young woman in your life:

1) Support her networking.

Take your mentee to a networking function, conference, charity event, or social gathering. Help her meet others!

2) Schedule ongoing checkins.

I'm re-reading some of my favorite books from Paulo Coehlo: this time it's his first novel, "The Pilgrim", which is about his road through the pilgrimage route of Santiago de Compostela.

There is an interesting section when his guide gives him a talking-to, and he realizes that he has been wandering the same section of the path for seven days because he has been so focused on his end result (the destination), rather than noticing what is happening around him, including the road, the scenery, the mountain, and the details on the path.

I like to talk about success habits and tools, and in this post I'd like to go over our physical health as a part of our daily success practice. Our health and wellness, along with nutrition, whole foods, exercise and relaxation, are so important for our perception of our daily life.

Every day let's find something to celebrate in our own bodies and in our lives. One thing that I've found in my monthly cycle is I need to be aware of when I need extra care and stress reduction: while I don't like to think I'm at the mercy of my hormones, at certain points I definitely can feel the effects of being a woman of childbearing age.

Let's celebrate!

Nell Merlino, founder of the Make Mine a $Million project, always encourages women to celebrate our successes, and she encourages us to truly celebrate, to truly mark a passage of time, and to do so before other things come in like paying the bills, taking care of business, minding the children, and letting a special moment pass.

We deserve to celebrate: we deserve to be thankful and to be thoughtful and to honor our lives.

So let's celebrate today.

Plan a celebration to toast your achievements and those of others, to express gratitude and appreciation for your relationships at home and at work, and to be joyful in life.

Things to celebrate include:
