Upward Trend In Women's Entrepreneurial Enterprises - TNNWC MEDIA

UPWARD TREND IN WOMEN'S ENTREPRENEURIAL ENTERPRISES - TNNWC MEDIA 

Dear Colleagues, Members and Readers:

In case you missed the recent proclamation in BLOOMBERG NEWS about the upward trend in women entrepreneurs and the growing dominance and success of their enterprises, the story is reprinted for your convenience below. This should, however, come as no surprise to you at all if you've been reading any of the TNNWC GROUP's publications: We have been reporting this trend for several years now -- it comes as no surprise. We are honored to proactively promote, support and provide special services to women's enterprises, as we have for several years already. For female entrepreneurs, there is no "glass ceiling" -- the sky is the limit. Ladies...start your engines! Gentlemen, tip your fedoras and open the doors!

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle, CEO, TNNWC GROUP, LLC (http://www.tnnwc.com)

p.s. In case you're interested, my very own mother happens to be a woman. Sometimes, she is hesitant to admit to being my mother -- but she is never the slightest bit vague about her womanliness. Those stories about my having been created by some obscure but powerful agency of the US military during the Vietnam era are just hokum...or at least, they are untrue to a large extent.

p.p.s. Make it your business to Google some of these amazing businesspersons of the gentler gender: Bonnie Ross-Parker, Rhonda L. Sher, Joyanne Sloan, Sandra Levitin ("Get Your Big Girl Panties On"), Rosanne D'Ausilio, Ann B. Sloan, and Penny Ng. Go ahead, Google each of them ... you'll learn something, and you'll show your support, too! Invite them to network with you on LinkedIn (if you're not a LinkedIn member, join by going to http://www.linkedin.com/.  
  

  

Women-Owned Businesses `Steadily Expanding' in U.S., Commerce Study Finds

By Alex Kowalski - Oct 7, 2010

Private businesses owned by women have grown in number and hired more workers than male-owned businesses, according to the latest U.S. Department of Commerce survey to track such data. The report also found such firms lag behind male-owned businesses in financial capital, revenue and salaries.

The number of companies owned by women grew by 44 percent to 7.8 million from 1977 to 2007, compared with a 22 percent increase in firms owned by men, the Commerce Department report found. Male-owned firms in 2007 totaled 13.9 million.
“Women-Owned Businesses in the 21st Century,” also found women in business added 500,000 workers to their payrolls while firms owned by men shed almost 2 million jobs during the period. As of 2007, the latest year that full U.S. Census Bureau data was available, women-owned businesses employed 7.6 million workers, according to the report released Oct. 4.

“The good news is that women-owned businesses have actually been growing over the last decade and actually growing faster than men-owned private businesses,” Rebecca Blank, Commerce’s undersecretary for economic affairs, said in a phone interview. “There’s clearly a sense here, if you look into the future, of an enormous growth opportunity for women-owned businesses in the private sector.”

Blank also pointed to challenges in the data. Businesses owned by women are “likely to be smaller, more likely to fail, and different from businesses owned by men along a variety of measures,” the report said. Those firms have lower levels of financial capital, use less outsider debt, generate less revenue and pay their workers smaller salaries.

Women Lag Behind


“In virtually every dimension, women-owned businesses lag far behind men-owned businesses,” Blank said.

The expansion of women-owned businesses from 1997 to 2007 followed a general shift in the U.S. job market. Health care and education-related jobs expanded while manufacturing and construction employment shrank, according to the report.

Blank said women entrepreneurs have concentrated in health and education - and they benefitted as those areas grew even during the recession. Data beyond 2007, when it becomes available, may reflect stronger growth in women-owned businesses, Blank said.
The more female entrepreneurs there are, the more other women will say, “‘Yes, I can jump in and do something like this too,’” Blank said.

The report is based on Census Bureau’s business and population data and information from the Kauffman Firm Survey, which tracks about 5,000 businesses founded in 2004 and examines the nature, strategy and employment patterns of new businesses.

UPDATE! Bulletin - TNNWC Weekly Newsletter - 08.15.2010 - Bigger, Better, Faster.

UPDATE! Bulletin - TNNWC Weekly Newsletter - 08.15.2010

Bigger, Better, Faster..................The Power Of TNNWC's Cooperative Business Community ("CBC"). The most efficient way to get the word out, to connect, to buzz, to brand, to build connections and to rapidly expand your emerging enterprise - exponentially, collaboratively and (ahhh...) affordably.

We at TNNWC (http://www.tnnwcgroup.com/) are delighted to announce that we have two new organizations which have joined the esteemed ranks of our CBC's Management Committee. You've probably heard of them before:

BNI - Dr. Ivan Misner's worldwide network of business networking groups. The first of its kind, with an enormous membership that encircles the entire globe (perhaps with one notable exception -- would anyone be interested in starting a BNI Chapter in Nauru? One may be available there...). TNNWC welcomes BNI.

CEO Space - A training center, a launching pad, a nexus and a nucleus for business leadership, planning and real-time, real-world dealmaking. CEO Space boasts a blockbuster enrollment of famous and successful members. Their conventions are legendary for bringing the right people together in the right setting. TNNWC welcomes CEO Space.

For those of you who might not be intimately familiar with TNNWC's Cooperative Business Community, or the concept of exponentiality (Bonnie Ross-Parker of The Joy Of Connecting has truly come to fancy that term), please simply click on:

*The Exponential Power of Large Numbers*
Combination + Cooperation + Collaboration + Organization = STRENGTH

If you are the entrepreneurial leader of an emerging enterprise or growing business with 1) products or services to sell, or if you are 2) the publisher, producer or owner of an e-zine, newsletter, newsgroup, forum or special membership organization, you face several major challenges:

• Marketing your membership, services and products to a larger audience;
• Building your subscriber list or client base rapidly;
• Attracting media buyers’ and advertisers’ attention and dollars – admittedly a wonderful source of ancillary income – to a subscribership list which may be too small;
• Finding other like-minded organizations who will cross-sell your products or services to their clients and increase your distribution and revenues;
• Finding other like-minded organizations which have exceptional products or services of their own which you can market to your clients to generate additional diversified sources of revenue;
• Getting your brand, site location and value proposition properly buzzed through the social media channels – the ever-increasing noise-to-signal ratio makes it hard for you to stand out;
• Saving money by getting the best terms from service providers, vendors, and contractors by acting as part of a large, powerful, organized group… think of the example set by collective bargaining organizations, purchasing cooperatives, political action committees or by organizations such as AARP – they are negotiating powerhouses because they are LARGE.

Going it alone is not the answer. Competition is fierce, and resources are scarce for smaller businesses. You need help. We offer it through providing you with the opportunity to become a Member of our CB Community™. It may sound trite, but it is unquestionably true: “In Unity There Is Strength.”

TNNWC’s Cooperative Business Committee™ (our CBC™), headed by The Joy Of Connecting Founder and CEO, Bonnie Ross-Parker, lets your company or group be a part of something enormous, united and powerful in order to get more of everything your business needs to increase profits and that your organization needs to grow more rapidly.

Bonnie, along with 8 other specially-selected delegates of certain organizations will comprise the CBC™, which will be the Active Governing Board (and dynamic nucleus) for the larger group, the CB Community™), which will be the infinitely-expandable.

Our Members don’t compete – we profit and grow together using the cooperative and coordinated leverage of large numbers and a unified focus.

What’s more, you do not have to give your mailing list to anyone – it remains yours, and it remains proprietary for your use. This keeps us abuse-proof and spam-free for the integrity and benefit of all. Any “Supergroup” mailings are done by each of the individual CBC Members, each through his or her own email list management and mail handling program.

We are a growing powerhouse of product and service providers, member-based organizations, publications, special opt-in email networks and other concerns who have agreed to combine, cooperate, collaborate and join forces in order to accomplish amazing things:

• Cross-sell (to an ever-increasing prospect list) and endorse each other’s memberships, services and products in a non-competitive, informative way – no direct ads or sales literature is distributed – not ever;
• Give our respective lists of subscribers special discounted access to TNNWC™’s Unique Suite of Service Offerings to produce additional “look-at-me” subscriber benefits and additional streams of income for all CBC Members and their individual list members;
• Use TNNW BUZZWORKS™ in combination with each CBC™ Member’s own social media, publicity efforts and regular mailings in order to create bigger, longer-lasting and more magnetic social media blitzes and publicity campaigns for each Member;
• Attract the attention of, and negotiate the most lucrative deals with media buyers and advertisers;
• Get the best pricing and terms from all outside service providers, vendors and contractors for each other, and for our respective constituents.

Want to be considered for a position on Our CBC™?
Want to join us and become a Member of our CB Community™?

Question: Would you like your message to get out to millions of pre-qualified prospective viewers and prospects instead of several thousand?

You must first become a 1) member of TNNWC (which is free) and; you must be 2) running a member-based or subscriber-based organization (i.e., an organization or enterprise with a loyal list of at least 2,500 followers, and; you must 3) complete our simple CBC Application Form (which is exactly the same for both the CBC™ and the CB Community™), which follows.

Most importantly, you must agree to our Terms of Cooperation, which are set forth in a downloadable .pdf document which you may print out.

Simply click on http://bit.ly/TermsOfCooperation and review the TERMS OF COOPERATION document carefully.

TNNWC Publicly Opens its Cooperative Business Community and Committee to All Entrepreneurial Companies


Philadelphia, PA – August 2, 2010 — In a news conference earlier today, Bonnie Ross-Parker and Adam J. Kovitz of TNNWC announced that the fast-growing business services, publishing and social media conglomerate was opening its Cooperative Business Community membership ("CBC") to all entrepreneurial companies and emerging enterprises internationally.


Ms. Ross-Parker, the Chairperson of the CBC, stated, “The economic environment has become increasingly difficult for smaller, and growing enterprises. If we form a cooperative, collaborative alliance, we can use the power of our combined talents, resources and sheer numbers to aid each other’s growth. As a united group, we have the lobbying and negotiating power needed to help each and every member exponentialize its growth possibilities. Working together, we are a force to be reckoned with.”

Ms. Ross-Parker is well-known as the Founder and CEO of The Joy Of Connecting, LLC (http://www.thejoyofconnecting.com/), notably one of the most effective means through which women in business can rapidly build powerful, profitable relationships through in-touch, in-person meetings. Ms. Ross-Parker's Licensees rave about the success that they are having utilizing the specialized JOC methodology and systems. The return on investment (minimal) associated with the Program is enormous.

The CBC, less than two months old, already boasts more than ten active company Members whose combined client, reader and opt-in email lists number in the hundreds of thousands. One of the group’s stated objectives is to represent a combined list of in excess of one million subscribers by September 1st. At its current rate of growth, this will likely happen.

CBC solves many of the problems commonly faced by leaders of emerging enterprises or growing businesses with products or services to sell, or which are publishers, producers or owners of e-zines, newsletters, newsgroups, forums or special membership organizations. These problems have included:

• Marketing memberships, services and products to a larger audience;

• Building a subscriber list or client base rapidly;

• Attracting media buyers’ and advertisers’ attention and dollars – admittedly a wonderful source of ancillary income – to a subscribership list which may otherwise be too small;

• Finding other like-minded organizations which will cross-sell products or services to their clients and increase your distribution and revenues;

• Finding other like-minded organizations which have exceptional products or services of their own which a newer company can market to its clients to generate additional diversified sources of revenue;

• Getting the company brand, site location and value proposition properly buzzed through the social media channels – the ever-increasing noise-to-signal ratio makes it hard for small companies on limited budgets to stand out;

• Saving money by getting the best terms from service providers, vendors, and contractors by acting as part of a large, powerful, organized group… think of the example set by collective bargaining organizations, purchasing cooperatives, political action committees or by organizations such as AARP – they are negotiating powerhouses because they are LARGE.

Said TNNWC’s Chairman, Adam J. Kovitz, “Going it alone is not the answer. Competition is fierce, and resources are scarce for smaller businesses. You need help. We offer it through providing you with the opportunity to become a Member of our CB Community™. It may sound trite, but it is unquestionably true: ‘In Unity There Is Strength.’ Our Members don’t compete – we profit and grow together using the cooperative and coordinated leverage of large numbers and a unified focus.

"We are a growing powerhouse of product and service providers, member-based organizations, publications, special opt-in email networks and other concerns who have agreed to combine, cooperate, collaborate and join forces in order to accomplish amazing things. Just watch us.”
