This weekend I have spent some time talking to members of my family, mainly women, about appropriate financial structures for their particular situations. Why don’t the majority already know this?
Who is teaching the women folk what options there are from a financial viewpoint; without the one of having to work all the hours of their day assuming sleep is not required!
I know because I have an interest in doing so. And I certainly don’t know it all… so where are the women that do? and how do we find them?
I’ll start a list here if it’s needed. Let me know.

this weeks “Dale Beaumonts Weekly Success Tip” is a rather important one…
As all of you parents will know, children are a great blessing but also a great responsibility. Every parent worries about what their kids learn and how they will turn out when they grow up…
…So a while ago Dale Beaumont decided he wanted to teach teenagers
practical life skills that they didn’t learn in schools.
The ‘Empower U’ program that he runs is great for all teenagers and
young adults, no matter where you’re from. I’d love for you and
your children to take advantage of the course.
The dates of our next 2 ½ Day “Empower U” program are Friday 28th, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th September 2007 (the start of the school holidays) and it is going to be held in Sydney.
To save the emails coming in, when it comes to Australia, Sydney is the only place where we currently run this program.
The reason is my co-presenter Brent Williams does a seminar in Singapore every third weekend, and with Dale producing 11 books in the Secrets Exposed series this year, you can probably guess that time is a wee bit of a challenge.
That said, every program run they have young people fly-in from all different states to attend the 2 ½ Day “Empower U” program and they take special care of our interstate guests. Just call the Tomorrows Youth office on 1300 732 782 and the details can be arranged.
Some young people come to Sydney by themselves and they arrange pick up from the airport and transfers from the hotel to the venue. Or in other cases the whole family comes to Sydney for the weekend, with the teenager(s) attend the program, while mum and dad enjoy a weekend of peace and relaxation!
On a seriously note, running this program is one of the greatest joys of Dale’s life, because he knows that it truly changes lives! They have received literally thousands of letters and emails from teenagers, so they absolutely know this to be true.
So please, if you have young person (between the ages of 12 and 22) in your immediate or extended family, then please go now to our Tomorrows Youth website and I strongly urge you to register and most importantly attend.
As some marathons runners I know say… 90% of the effort is just turning up!! So do turn up and use your power for good… no seriously!
I would love any feedback so please share…

LexisNexis Summary
Women in leadership positions face a number of dilemmas. These dilemmas are to do with the stereotyping of leadership qualities as “male”. US research firm, Catalyst, has published a report on women leaders called
“The Double-Bind Dilemma for Women in Leadership“.
1. Women are either seen as too tough or too soft and never quite right in leadership roles.
2. Women have to be more competent than men to get a top job, but are then paid less.
3. Many competent women leaders are disliked, because they are perceived as “aggressive”. Those women leaders who are liked are seen as too “passive”.
The fault is to do with gender stereotyping in the workplace. Catalyst argues that educating staff about this stereotyping will help to fix the problem. So-called “soft skills” should be used by both men and women.
