Q: What is expected of me as a Team Women member?
A: Your TWI chapter is as successful as you choose to make it. Attendance is vital to your success and the overall success of your team. Each member is required to show mutual respect to the other members of the group by maintaining a sense of professionalism at all times. Members dress professionally, in line with their core professions. Only join Team Women if you are committed to attending all meetings and participating enthusiastically.
Each member MUST devote a significant amount of time and energy toward generating highly qualified business referrals and introducing potential new members to the group. This is how your TWI chapter will prosper and grow.
During the formative period of a chapter, it is important all members are focused on inviting potential new members to the group for each meeting. The more members and the wider the range of core professions represented, the greater the opportunity for business referral generation. The objective of TWI is for every member to generate more business based on receiving highly qualified referrals. You’ll be amazed at what your TWI chapter can accomplish with everyone working together towards a common goal!
This answer was taken from the Team Women Handbook, available online HERE.

Happy Holidays, Team Women!
With Thanksgiving this past week I took some time to reflect on all of the wonderful people and activities in my life. Team Women really is a joy for me and as I travel and meet more of you and see your businesses take off I know I am on the right path. This week I will be kicking off Team Women Pikes Peak, CO and Team Women Lincoln, CA and am excited about 2009 and the changes which will be happening.
In November I had the opportunity to spend 4 days in a Jack Canfield Advanced Breakthrough to Success Event in Coronado, CA. I had attended the BTS in August in Scottsdale, AZ and the advanced program was more intense and about 1/3 the people. My personal goal walking out was to achieve good health in my life. There is a ABTS Cruise scheduled for March 2010 and I made a commitment to attend and be "looking hot in a hot pink bathing suit." I did this standing in front of 150+ folks on the stage and was amazed at the outpouring of help I received from everyone.
When we are clear about our goals, set them forth with an intention, and share them, you will find people who offer to help and support you in your goals. As you are looking at 2010 and what you plan to accomplish, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Do I have a clear goal for the year?
2. Have I set an intention to reach it including the steps necessary?
3. Whom do I know who can support me in achieving this goal?
Take time to do this and start immediately with your first step!
Have a safe and glorious holiday season.
Love and Laughter,
Judi
P.S. I booked my room for the cruise this past week (Step 1.) We have also been cooking dinner at home every night to create healthier meals.

Building Name Recognition in Your Field
A great way to grow your business is by name recognition and being perceived as an expert in your field. This can be many different ways including:
-article writing
-press releases
-public speaking
-and of course, networking
Another great way is by being a published author. Having a book out with your name on it gives you instant credibility. The normal process of writing a book could be daunting or just not of interest to many people. However, there is a wonderful shortcut and that is being a contributing author in a book.
When I worked with the Direct Selling Women’s Alliance one of my projects was assisting in the creation of the best seller “More Build it Big.” We had 101 contributing authors who each submitted a short vignette on an area of their particular expertise. We had people lined up wanting to be included and we chose the best of the best. The reasons they wanted to be included were:
1. Become a published author with very little work involved on their part.
2. Credibility in their field from being in a book.
3. A great product to sell to their target market as another income stream.
4. A great gift for special clients, etc.
To be included in some books, each author is asked to contribute anywhere from $2000 to $4000 and for that they receive 1000 books.
Team Women decided to publish a book with a compilation of articles from our members in order to provide them with the above benefits. With over 200 different core professions in Team Women we felt this would be great information for new entrepreneurs and business owners. We have received about 10 great submissions and are excited to get the book published; however we need at least 50 articles to make the book worthwhile.
Ladies, this is an opportunity to promote your business, be a published author and we are not charging any up front cost to participate. As a Team Women Member, if chosen, you will be required to pre-pay for 10 copies of the book at $15 each when you submit your final draft of your article. Upon publication, you will receive your copies and can distribute them or re-sell them at a price set by you. You will have the opportunity to purchase additional copies at a price to be determined (not to exceed $15 each.)
To recognize the members who have submitted articles, we will be publishing one per month in this section of the newsletter. This is to inspire you to submit your own contribution. A good business decision is to always take advantage of great opportunities to promote your business when offered.
“Our repeated failure to fully act as we would wish must not discourage us. It is the sincere intention that is the essential thing, and this will in time release us from the bondage of habits which at present seem almost insurmountable.” ~ Thomas Troward
