I started to realize I had to change my conversation skills in order to be more likable and communicate more effectively inside organizations. Telling myself to shut up wasn't the most healthy solution, but the truth is that being such an intense extrovert, I had never taken the time to be quiet and observe.

It's been a great experience learning from a community of successful and motivated women who want to change the world by helping women attain wealth and power through entrepreneurship.

Because for some reason, a feasible solution is usually included with the "why," a bit like getting that second ShamWow for free. You are trying to motivate people to do the impossible and some "genius" is pulling the carpet out from under you. I think what "people" want is solutions.

Inspiration and motivation are the factors that differentiate a leader from a boss, in my opinion. "Hope and Change" are not solutions. Change is a solution. That could also be out of necessity, but… 3) Be clear in communicating expectations. Slogans are not a plan. And the CEO never does the real work.

My family and many other families have been able to find a solution to this type of situation. We are barely 30 and are desperate and motivated to be where we want and to have what we want. My family incorporated the business many, many years ago. So, it can be done. Patience and good luck!

And each of your break-ups has been motivated by fear of this growth and change, rather than by nastiness or gossip. Like you, I suck at the friendship thing, and that's mostly because I suck at talking, especially on the phone–which is how most non internet people seem to communicate. Is this honesty?
