Take Twelve: Power and Priority: A Mother and Daughter Founding Team Builds an Empire
By: Dr. Gaby Cora
According to the US Department of Commerce, the number of women-owned businesses grew by 44% between 1997 and 2007, twice as fast as men-owned firms. We have grown accustomed to father-son founding teams through history. On the other hand, we don’t know the exact number of successful mother-daughter teams of entrepreneurs.
Take Ten: Social Judgment and Resilience
By: Dr. Gaby Cora
About four percent of the US population is gay. This means, roughly 40,000 offspring of one million moms—and dads—will be gay. There was a lot of commotion last week about role models and messages to our kids with the decision to select Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson of JCPenney’s. Conservative group OneMillionMoms didn’t seem to like this decision at all.
Liking or disliking our fellow citizens’ lifestyle choices in their private lives or whether or not gays are born this way is beside the point. The reality is that gay couples still face social judgment and become resilient to survive and thrive as they continue to seek equal rights as couples and as parents.
Join me in this week’s interview with successful entrepreneurs Mayda Perez and Simone Mayer as they share their lifestory as a couple and as parents.

The more we can intuitively align our knowledge and experience with a clear vision of our future, the greater potential for success.

Do you focus on achieving one goal at a time or do you try to reach many goals at the same time?
This has been the theme of the week.
An entrepreneur started a new venture and was concerned when things didn’t go as well as he expected. Although he had a great idea, he didn’t build the foundation to support the project, almost giving up before he had really started.
Another executive has been doing great with a simple strategy and was ready to let go with the consistent plan rather than focusing on it for the next few months before jumping into something else.
Helpful Tips to Manage Life and Work Stress
We are constantly worrying these days. Counting the domino effect of the state of our economy, the increasing financial instability, natural catastrophes, and the back-to-school craze, stress in the workplace has reached epidemic numbers. People worry about losing their homes or paying for their groceries, they are concerned about giving their kids the education they didn’t have, but they also fear whether their business is still afloat or if they still have a job. Corporate warriors and business owners are equally stressed because they face increasing competition and the unpredictability of our overall financial situation.
