Expert Unveils Planning Steps for Three Types of Female Business Owners

April 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Whether she runs a jewelry creation business or an accounting firm, every woman business owner must determine where she wants her company to be in the future. Just as female-owned businesses are incredibly unique, so are the plans for the future of those businesses.

Design the Future: Planning Steps for Three Types of Female Entrepreneurs is a new article by Michele DeKinder-Smith, founder of Jane Out of the Box, a web site dedicated to helping women business owners. The article reveals planning tips three different types of business owners may consider as they determine exactly how they define success for their businesses – and their lives. It’s available now for download at www.janeoutofthebox.com.

Based on professional market research of more than 2,500 women business owners, Design the Future: Planning Steps for Three Types of Female Entrepreneurs details the things Jane Dough (a traditionally successful, fast-moving business owner), Go Jane Go (a financially successful and overwhelmed entrepreneur), and Merry Jane (a “flexible time” entrepreneur who’d like to make more money) may consider with regard to designing the futures that will bring them the most satisfaction and success.

Design the Future: Planning Steps for Three Types of Female Entrepreneurs highlights:
•   How Jane Dough’s big-picture mentality can actually hinder her progress.
•   Why Jane Dough needs to track her business’ performance.
•   How Go Jane Go can get out of “overwhelm.”
•   Steps Go Jane Go can take to market only to her ideal clients.
•   A system Merry Jane can use to get more customers without a significant time investment.

The article reveals some of the behaviors, mindsets and priorities of these three very different women business owners, and provides insight about how they can combine specific strategies with these behaviors, mindsets and priorities to plan the futures that are right for themselves and for their companies.

A “one-size-fits-all” formula does not exist for small business planning; therefore, a business owner should consider her own desires and goals and the capabilities of her business when drafting a plan for the future.
