In the month of September, I have been focused on adding monetization opportunities to my blogging activities. If you intend to make a living online, it’s an important thing to do. Really, it’s important to do offline too. Create something to sell and sell it, right?

By creating my 30 products in 30 days project, I have been motivated to focus on my business. It’s helped me to realize the ways I like to make money and even the ways I don’t want to do so.  Many of you have expressed that you are following along and doing some of the same ideas for your business. That’s all good, but, I feel the entire project has had a downside.

When I first started blogging, I did more talking about starting a business, finding meaningful work, and sticking to it than anything else. I liked talking about those things and I am returning back to it as of today. You can still learn about my 30 in 30 progress if you want – I will put together a post collecting all the days’ work together, but for now, I am leaving reporting of it behind.

Chris Brogan, one of the great people in blogging and on Twitter, recently wrote a post entitled 50 Ways To Take Your Blog To The Next Level. It’s a great list of what you can do to make your blog better, and I am taking it to heart. So, get ready for us to return to the basics.

I believe in women entrepreneurs and one of my deepest desires is to empower them. Here at SmartWoman Guides, I want to build a safe haven where emerging women entrepreneurs can thrive, and learn, and share. I want to stand as a voice for the ones who aren’t able to speak. I want to amplify the growing voice of those who are speaking. I want to be of service in whatever way is needed.

Basically, I want to add value to that conversation, to that group. So, 30 in 30 continues, but from here on out, we’re talking about women entrepreneurs and that’s all. Let’s take over the world, ladies! It’s in our power to revolutionize what’s happening here and it’s time we did it! We can raise our children to be more compassionate, we can shift elections toward our issues, we can ignite our passion, increase our contribution, and we can create a world through our hearts and hands where we can all be happy and well. I believe in the power of women in business and I invite you to join in.

Together, we are stronger.
