Thanks so much for passing on that great lead to me. I will definitely follow up on that and see where it goes. Stay tuned. Kaya

I’ve been doing some additional research on the author, Chris Flett, that I talked about on my last comment. His company is “GhostCEO” (www.GhostCEO.com) and his book is a bestseller. I found it on Amazon here. Anyway, he was in the NY Times last Sunday under the “Career Couch” and he makes reference to women’s blogs like yours so I thought you might like to connect. I’d like to see you interview him and see what he’s all about. I saw on another blog he was a guest blogger. His email is: chris@ghostceo.com

Best wishes,

Thanks for reading my blog. I want to read this book, but haven’t yet. Too many things to do and too little time. Well, I guess there’s just as much time as always, just priorities.

I did watch a video by Chris Flett and I agree that women for the most part are still not knowing to deal effectively with alpha males. Luckily this is much more of an issue in the corporate world and does not come up so much in the small business realm.

I know many women who leave their corporate jobs and begin a small business just for this reason. Hilary Clinton is now a model for women of how to stay powerful and confident in the face of many alpha males!

Just wanted to say that I’ve started reading your blog. I’m wondering if you have heard about the book, “What Men Don’t Tell Women About Business”. I heard the guy (Chris Flett) on the Today Show and thought you probably have already heard of him. I’m wondering what your thoughts were. He seems to be really taking on the ‘Old Boys Club”. I just emailed him, but haven’t heard back.

Anyway, keep up the great writing.

Best,

Bihter.

I think doing business with one’s husband is really challenging. I tried it once and it was so hard to separate the parts of our life and that subjectivity, that you refer to, was huge. Thanks for sharing that intuition works for you too. Sometimes it is just not logical but I know it’s right!

I have a co-business partner, my husband, but, because we live and breathe the business 24/7, sometimes we are too wrapped up in it together to be subjective.

Sometimes it helps to to step back and get another perspective. I also have a couple of friends here on the island, one of them in my writers’ group, who have been very helpful because they see things from the outside.

I think, like you said, that listening to your intuition, that gut feeling, when you’ve turned everything logical off, can be very important.
