Rita Alcala and Barbara Eldridge discuss other people's money and where to find it! As a business owner how often have you stressed about signing a new contract but wondering how you were going to finance it?  Is borrowing from a bank the only solution?

STRESS is the number one health challenge for employees and employers. Teri is a master of music and meditation on a mission to introduce the world to the power of songs and gongs that help to de-stress, boost productivity and creativity, and support balance and well-being. As a singer/songwriter, Teri knew about the positive connection between music and lowering stress, and in 2013 she added the ancient gong to her workshops and performances. Used for centuries as a meditative tool, its resonant sounds calm the frenetic monkey mind. In fact, 65% of people who “got gonged” reported being at least 75% more productive after the session than at any other point in the day. A Wilder benefit!

Join us today on Women Lead Radio, as Barbara Eldridge, your host of Trend Setting Women, interviews Vicki Garcia, Owner and Co-Owner at Marketing Impressions and Veteran Entrepreneurs Today. How does someone come out of the field of social work and end up as a marketer? Vicki has always been able to see the upcoming trends and surround herself with the people to help her make it happen. One of those “trends” is the veteran population looking for jobs that don't exist. Vicki saw the need for Vets to pursue entrepreneurship.  The road has not been easy. But she has set out on a journey that created, funded and helped run a program to establish and prove the need. A non-profit saw the need and took V.E.T. under their wing and now people from all over are calling. The social worker still exists, but it is the marketing she knows that has gotten the program attention.

Join us today on Women Lead Radio as Barbara Eldridge, your host of Trend Setting Women, interviews Debbie Wright, Owner of  MOTEC Auto Care. How many times as women have we taken our vehicles to an auto repair shop only to feel like the guy behind the counter is speaking a foreign language?

She has aggressively gone after the fleet market to capture consistent, ongoing repair work. She hires the mechanics, but shares with other women the essentials of taking care of our cars so we can speak the “right” language. She has even stepped right into the good ol' boys network by being a member and on the board of the local automotive association.

Join us today on Women Leading the Way Radio, as Barbara Eldridge, your host of Trend Setting Women interviews Renee Zau, CEO and Co-founder of Donation Match.

Felena will talk about how many women running small businesses also have to juggle family life, and therefore feel an affinity with other women in the same situation. A supportive environment where women feel they easily relate to others helps get to that point in the relationship where they know, like, and trust the other person and are therefore more likely to ask for feedback or refer business.

Paulette Ensign has been setting trends throughout her life. She is the Founder and Owner of Tips Products International, and was clueless that she'd sell over a million copies of her 16-page tips booklet, 110 Ideas for Organizing Your Business Life, when writing it in 1991. Or that she'd have it in four languages and various formats without spending a penny on advertising. Her can-do attitude supported those results. She's made a handsome living and cross-country move from New York to San Diego recycling the same 3500 words. Between teaching strings and developing www.tipsbooklets.com, Paulette actively participated in the then-emerging Professional Organizing industry. She owned an organizing company, was a major contributor of time and talent to the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), and consistently held leadership roles including national president. Paulette added co-authored tips booklets to products and services she sells, providing instant products and instant marketing tools to supplement or substitute for a solo-authored booklet. With over forty years' experience serving small businesses, corporations, and professional associations in industries worldwide, she and her cat live a mile from the San Diego beach where it doesn't snow, keeping them both young at heart.
