A Light Bulb Moment for Girls Guide

Last night I had a light bulb moment. You know what I'm talking about right? An answer to something you have been struggling with just appears? For months, years even we have been trying to figure out how we can help even more women with their career issues. I co-write books about women and careers (The Girl's Guide to Starting Your Own Business, The Girl's Guide to Being a Boss without Being a Bitch and the upcoming The Girl's Guide to Kicking Your Career into Gear), we speak to women all over the country about taking control of their careers, starting their own businesses and finding a better worklife balance.

But as we grow, I have noticed that we are missing that direct one-on-one contact with the women we are helping. We actually want to hear about the promotion that someone won. We want to help someone with their professional make-over. We want to see the brilliant small business idea get off the ground. We find ourselves giving career advice in line at the bank, to our hairdressers and to friends of friends so why not do it more of it?

So after much discussion and a very important light bulb moment we have decided to launch Girls Guide Career Coaching. This is early to even talk about it since we just made the decision last night, but we are so excited that we wanted to blog about it as soon as we got in. The entreprenurial part of us is buzzing with ideas this morning. How do we launch it? What is the best marketing tool? Will people be up for both in-person and phone coaching? How many women can we work with at a time? We want to help both women who work for themselves and other people so how best to reach out?

So if you have ANY ideas we want to hear from you! And a big THANK YOU in advance for any advice.
