    Evening all :)

    I was looking through my bookcase wondering if I could part with any of my books (I can't) when I saw that I have a book called 'Secrets of Six-Figure Women' (Barbara Stanny). I thought i'd have a quick scan and see if there's anything useful to share.

    The author has identified four traits that she believes a woman should have if they are to 'change financial lanes' and make money. These are:

    - A profit motive (wanting to make money, feeling good about money, enjoying what money can give them).
    - Audacity (stepping outside comfort zone, doing something she's not sure she can do - including experiences she won't relish).
    - Resilience (getting back up and keeping on going, responding positively to setbacks).
    - Encouragement (nurturing relationships, people who believe in them, support, prodding along) - we have a mix of these approaches here! :)

    Additionally, she says that the woman must have self-awareness (striving to know who they are and what they want - their goals, values, priorities, skills and talents) nonattachment (willing to let go of what doesn't work or holds them back) and financial know-how (understanding and following the rules of money).

    Now, I think we all have these, don't you?!!! :)

    I can't see why these factors can't work equally well for men - so don't feel left out! :P

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    Skintbint - Cupcakes sound fab, I don't know much about pricings but that seems very low to me -10 for £3 sounds like a bit of a bargain?

    Your're doing fine hunny xx

    If you do the large size... muffins you could charge £1 or more with peoples names on .... say for the office, where a normal cake would be no good but 6 muffin size ones would.. with names on or valentines hearts, mothers day with flowers.. St Patricks Day ones, ETC ETC at a tabletop or fete.. sorry just thinking off the top of my head.. don't sell yourself too cheap.

    I am sure Ambers (i think) whip will be out soon.;)

    I think we all need the warmer weather to come and to see the back of January OMG it's a long month... when will it ever end!!!!:(

    hi skintbint sorry never made it im going to leave early next sunday and then check out glenrothes,inverkeithing and kinross i did the one in stirling 3x last year and it was busy but this has closed where are you.
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x
  • Saucysecrets - sorry, am rubbish coming up with ideas - I'm pretty sure that there will be people on here soon who will have loads though - have you looked into doing a blog? I know that might not bring in anything straight away, but lots of people on here have been saying how good they are :) Have you tried the other bingo sites through Quidco? I joined Bingon and Paddy Power today and have won on Bingon plus you get your money back (or more!) from Quidco...

    Thank you :) I'm looking at setting up blogs, but need some help with getting people onto the site. If anyone has any knowledge, I'd love to hear it? I've searched the web but most of the blogs link to a "Buy my software it'll make you a millionaire" website, which I don't want! I love to write, though, so it'd be perfect. I'll look at other bingo sites, too!

    Skintbint - It's fine to have a rubbish day once in a while! I think 30p seems quite cheap, does that leave you any profit? If it does, then thats perfect, if not, I think 50/60p is about average, with a few pence off each for multibuys.
    Signature down for maintenance :rotfl:
  • Hi Skintbint (AKA Richbint!) - I agree with everyone else :p

    30p sounds too cheap, I like the personalising idea (then 30p really WILL be far to low) and perfect time to advertise coming up to valentines day :T

    PS - KICK UP THE BACKSIDE coming your way xxx

    Nah, 30p a cupcake is too little..... have a look at this.... they charge £1 for a tiny one

    maybe an online bakery might be the way to go for all you guys who do cakes...
