Girlfriends in Business – What’s Your Business Strategy? | Crystal Collins
May 10, 2012 – 3:56 pm
“All lasting business is built on friendship.”
Alfred A. Montapert
“Today, more women are breaking free from the traditional, gender-specific roles and venturing into the business world. Not only are they holding high corporate positions but they are also successful women entrepreneurs who own almost half of all businesses in the United States.” (Per Go4Funding)
I love how women collaborate, how we share ideas and support each other. I know I’ve been blessed by girlfriends who have shared their ‘women’s wisdom’ and helped me make decisions, discover new solutions and, as a result, grow my business. (Personally, I couldn’t lead Girlfriendology without amazing women like Judi, Joanne, Julie – and other friends whose names may or may not start with a ‘J’!)
Girlfriend CRYSTAL COLLINS, co-creator of the Marketing Calendar Blueprint, also aka: The Thrifty Mama and part of the Savvy Blogging awesome bloggers, has some great advice for women entrepreneurs – it involves having a business strategy, not just ‘hoping’ our business will happen and become profitable. She asks the (possibly) tough question of women entrepreneurs: ‘What’s Your Business Strategy?’ LISTEN IN as we talk with Crystal about our Marketing Calendar and Business Strategy!

Giving a Friend Difficult News | Girlfriend Advice on Sharing Your Opinion from Marina Sbrochi
May 5, 2012 – 3:45 pm
“It’s what friends do for each other. We bear witness to the bad and the good in one another’s lives.” –Linda Steele
None of us really like to deliver bad news. Whether it’s something as simple as “the pizza won’t be here for ANOTHER 20 minutes,” something potentially embarrassing “Quick, turn around! Your skirt is stuck in your undies!” or something you don’t want to admit “um, who owns the green Chevy I just backed into?” almost all of us would rather have a bad mani-pedi than make our girlfriend unhappy or uncomfortable.
Guest blogger MARINA SBROCHI recognizes that there are times when we should keep our opinions to ourselves and times when we are friendship-obligated to tell our friends what we think. Trying to find the balance is often difficult. Before beginning any difficult conversation, think about the pros and cons of speaking up and keeping quiet. Whatever you decide, make sure you are there for your friends—even if you don’t always agree with their choices.
It’s a tough scenario being the bearer of bad news. Your girlfriend finally Read More »

The Journey | Girlfriend Advice from Guru Jennifer Hall
May 2, 2012 – 8:55 am
Friends are kisses blown to us by angels.
~Author Unknown
Our relationships are far more important than the dishes or a TV show.
Jennifer Hall
A year from now, will you remember spending the evening watching Dancing with the Stars or a Real Housewives marathon? Probably not, right? How often do we spend time on little things and fill up our schedule with To Do’s and ’stuff’?
Thankfully we have Girlfriend Guru JENNIFER HALL to remind us of what’s really important … spending this journey called life with the important people who bless us with their friendship and support.
Life is a journey. We all know this, right?
We should always be learning, growing, changing, adapting … walking our paths.
I celebrated my birthday this month and received the most perfect greeting card from one of my best friends:

April 24, 2012 – 8:47 am
“When your mother asks, ‘Do you want a piece of advice?’ it is a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.”
Erma Bombeck
Advice … it’s what we women give, offer, listen to or ignore! But the root of all (sincere!) advice, is the desire to do or say whatever we can to be there for another women. It’s our way of sharing what we’ve learned, the insight we alone have and the hope that we can do something to make your life better.
On Girlfriendology, we share women’s wisdom, aka: girlfriend advice, among our fabulous female friends. We have guest blogs and Girlfriend Gurus who share their girlfriend advice on everything from saving money to saving time, from a funny approach to dieting to serious info on Read More »

The Quiet Flower | Insight and Inspiration from Celeste Barnard
April 13, 2012 – 8:47 am
“Friends are like flowers. They fill the world with beauty.” Celeste Barnard
Sometimes pieces come along from a guest blogger that turn out to be a pretty big surprise. We’ll think we know how it will end, or whether we’ll love it or not, and wham! we wind up in a completely different place.
Today’s guest blog by Celeste Barnard is one of those wonderful surprises. We weren’t sure we were going to like it. Wrong! We don’t just like it, we love it. It is one of the quiet flowers in our life this week.
The Lord will sometimes get my attention when I’m out for a run. Anybody else? I like this. Well, except for when I’m not running. Today was no different. I was jogging along in the hot sun. Sweat dripping (I mean…dripping) Read More »

I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine – she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights. ~Terri Guillemets
What is it about advice from Mom? When we were young, we vowed we would never, ever, in a million, zillion years do all the horrible things our moms did. Now, many of us open our mouths and hear our mother’s words pour out. And we’re proud of them…

Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher | Grateful for Friends by Guru Rachel Awes
April 4, 2012 – 7:21 am
A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails. ~Donna Roberts
Have you ever noticed that sometimes our girlfriends remind us who we really are? Recently, I have had this happen three times (always in threes, right?). Fabulous friends have been around to remind me of some of the good things I’d forgotten about myself.
Girlfriend Guru (and fabulous artist) RACHEL AWES reminds us in word and art that we have so much to offer the world. Thank heavens we have friends who–on those days when our feet feel permanently stuck in the mud–can remind us we have wings for flying high.
I recently met my treasured friend, Liv, for breakfast.
We had Read More »
