We are in the process of incorporating several concepts to WIB and thought we would share.

We have joined forces with the Bi Lateral Chambers Forum -Sonja Heyl (See her info below)
The Douglas Dale Community Policing Forum
Hanlie Raath and her team building workshops

http://www.paradox8.co.za

WIB ( Women in Business) was borne out of the need for a networking platform for women who own small to medium enterprises. It is envisaged that this platform will not only create an effective, networking / marketing platform, but will serve as an inspirational platform encouraging entrepreneurially minded women.

Ever wondered what has launched some women into overnight successes? Ever wondered what their WOW factor was? If the truth be told each one of us has experienced at least one WOW factor. A moment which defined who we really are and revealed our own greatness! Imagine if we were able to rewind to that wondrous moment, and tap into its energy every time we needed to be inspired? Truth is, over time we tend to forget those iconic moments, and how truly great they really were. We become so wrapped up in our many roles as a woman i.e. mother, wife, home- makers and somewhere in between all of this business owners.

WIB’s aim is to provide a platform for all currently self employed business women and women who are contemplating joining the exhilarating, empowering, somewhat frightening, sometimes lonely realm of being self employed. By sharing our experiences with one another, and reminding ourselves how truly unique and WOW we really are. Together we can create an ongoing source of positive encouragement to keep us on track.

You have been identified as an exceptional women, and as a launch pad, we are requesting that each women who receives this infomercial forward it to another exceptional women or two or three. We would also like to encourage you to share your WOW factor with us on this blog. Unknowingly, you will all be creating a multitude of women drawing from your experiences, and you from theirs, inspiring and uplifting one another to the next level of success.

A series of exclusive business breakfasts and lunches will be hosted during the course of this year, of which you will be invited to attend. At these networking opportunities, topical guest speakers will address you on matters not only relating to running an effective, financially successful and sound business, but also addressing matters which relate to your WOWness as a women ! A worthwhile charity will be chosen at each function, and a portion of the proceeds donated.
We are looking forward to your participation, for without you this world will NOT be a better place!

We have formed a Partnership with Sonja Heyl of BCF... See Attached her incredible Credentials.

Women in Business Initiative

Dear Women in Business

As a Women in Business initiative we have decided to pursue the goal of feeding 2000 children by the end of 2011 and hope that you will help us to achieve our goal. See below for more information....

A CHILD DIES EVERY SIX SECONDS FROM MALNUTRITION

ONE. TWO. THREE. FOUR. FIVE. SIX......

WHAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO HELP?

You can help. Make a difference in life of a child by feeding them.

Just R6. a day, not even enough for a gourmet coffee,

a half-pack of chewing gum, or a fraction of a business lunch...

feeds a child a meal a day.

R176.00 will feed one child for one month

For a little as R350.99 per month, you can save the lives of 2 children through purchasing

2

bags of food for donation.

Feed a classroom of kids

For a little as R879.00 per month, you can save the lives of 5 children through purchasing of 5 bags of food for donation.

or for R4400 per month you could feed a classroom of 25 children

So whether it's a few Rand's or a few million Rands. We need your help.

You can't afford not to HELP.

Who do you know that will help?

Nourish the Children Initiative was recognized as the Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program by the American Business Awards. Lee Iaccoca is the emeritus Chairman of the Board of

Nourish the Children

.

Why Nourish the Children?
With Nourish the Children, you have confidence in your donation.
You know what your money will buy: nutritious VitaMeal. VitaMeal is SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR MALNOURISHED CHILDREN.
You know how your money will be used: to nourish destitute children.
You know that your donations will be leveraged:

with matching donations, (the company will donate a bag and feed one more child for every 5 bags purchased), through education (children must come to school to be fed), and disease prevention programs(sanitation is taught).

And you know that YOU are making a difference.

Since its launch in 2002, Nourish the Children (NTC) has provided more than 200 million meals to malnourished children around the world. Join us today in helping to feed and save children.

NTC is not a charity, but a commercial co-venture of Nu Skin Enterprises and works in tandem with partnerships like the respected charity, Hunger and Thirst, who distributes this food around the world and from whom you get your tax receipt.

For more info see below.

As a South African, I have witnessed first-hand the tragedy of child starvation. That's why I am an advocate for those who do not have a voice for themselves. JOIN ME!

Our goal is to help feed 2,000 children per month, so that means we need to have 2,000 bags bought and donated per month.

I would like the purchasing commitment to be monthly for a year, and then on going.

Please

HELP,

AND

HELP

now...

To your Health,

WIB invites you to support WAR - Woman Against Rape

2010-07-25T21:29:00.000+01:00

As a Director of WAR I am passionate about it's cause and ask that you all extend a hand of support to this worthy charity............................................................................................................

Woman Against Rape, a section 21 company, was founded by Ms. Janine Rowley in 2001.

WAR has observed the positive results that the ministry yields to both survivors of rape and sexual assault and also to the communities where the organisation endeavours to create awareness around the issue.

Woman against Rape "WAR" objective is to reduce the occurrence of rape by lobbying for support and awareness against rape as well as opening safe havens. WAR assists, co-ordinates and connects rape victims with counseling and emergency services.

The Woman Against Rape strategy is to educate and empower underprivileged children and women to establish an environment free of discrimination and transform their pain into power.

The United Nations Security Council conferred on 19 June 2008, that rape is an act of war.

WAR invites you to participate in donating funds to increase the existing 13 trauma centres. Ideally we would like to raise enough funds to have a safe-house for the victims so they can learn a skill and thereby put a plate of food on their table taking them away from their abusers who are often their providers.

Your donation will qualify for tax benefits.

Help me blog with your stories..... some of my ideas

2010-07-22T09:05:00.000+01:00

Women are power houses in our world but very often don't realize their own appeal, power or influence. We have all experienced the wonderment of success or achievement but rarely do we remember or know how to access that emotion or feeling. Imagine if we could access that and replicate, how many more of those incredible moments we might have. When Sue Van Der Linde and I were starting Women in Business we had both been through traumatic, dysfunctional relationships which had stripped us of most of our confidence, motivation and in my case personality. We had both been extremely successful in our past business endeavors and we are both Mothers and had been single mothers for many years ( Sue has two beautiful sons Westley, 22 and Sean 20) and (I have 4 beautiful children Brittany 21, Dane 19, Hannah 9 and Emma 8 and I have been blessed with a gorgeous granddaughter Sadie Ella, 3 months). We had both experienced those delicious WOW moments in both motherhood and in our business experiences but had no idea how to access those feeling so we could once again empower ourselves and do something wonderful with our lives and in turn help other people, who were going through similar experiences we had just been through, empower themselves.
Hence the birth of Women in Business and our connection with WAR (Woman Against Rape). It was in working hard to put this company together as a Networking and Marketing forum (Both Sue and I have Marketing back rounds) that I have once again found my "Mojo". My joy, I have discovered, is in giving and serving. I have also discovered amongst my many female friends, the most incredible power houses in each of these accomplished amazing women, whom I am privileged to call my friends. So when you put these fabulous people in one room and you allow them to share their talents an incredible thing happens.... we suddenly have a network of accomplished business women who can feed off each others expertise and services. We also felt very strongly that we needed to give back to the community and so because "Rape" has affected my life WAR was an obvious choice of charities and causes we decided to support.

I plan on writing "my story" in chapters, highlighting my WOW moments, hoping they will inspire and bring hope to other women who have gone through similar challenges, so that they too will find their Mojo.

It is my wish that other women will join me in writing their stories so that we can share and inspire those who need to be lifted and reminded that they are incredible, powerful women who have much to add in making our world better places for all.

Give for Life - it's all about giving back

2010-07-22T04:25:00.000+01:00

This is the most amazing concept, take a look.... let's face it, we're always trying think up ways in which we can help, give back, be involved in our communities but we're never sure our resources are going to the people for which they are intended. Please take a look at this "no brainer" way of giving back and also making your money back and more.....

We, at Women in Business, are focusing on Women and their "WOW" factor's this event and so if you could tell us "your story" and touch on your connection with "WAR" (Woman Against Rape) which is our chosen charity. The WOW factor's we are hoping to focus on are those defining moments in your life that made you sit up and say... WOW, I did it, or WOW I did THAT???...... we all have at least one of those moments that made us feel that all the hardships and challenges we've encountered have all been worth it because of that moment. Happy Blogging!
