Wow! Now finally we can conclude that men are from Mars & women are from... from some strange land! Chocolates over sex, is what women have told in a recent poll for the Princes Quay Shopping Center in Hull. Now it baffles me how can a bar of chocolate available so easily at a store be more valuable than having a great night in bed? The mind of women is strange indeed, or is it?

First, before we move any further let me put the whole survey into perspective for you. Let me be a good reporter (for one time only) & stop sensationalizing this stuff. This is the actual order of priority for women, as they have revealed in the little survey.

The 87-year- old British Novelist Doris Lessing won the Nobel Prize for literature, proving an official wrong, who had once remarked about her inefficiency to do so. Ironically, she found out about her prestigious award from a reporter who was waiting outside her house. She was delighted at being the chosen one, and revealed that having won literally all the prizes in Europe, this addition gave her the ‘royal flush’.

Doris sat talking to the media persons on her front door step, with the phone ringing behind her continuously. She informed how she had taken her son to the hospital and then was in the Heath, and was unaware of the prize, but was glad that now people would buy her books. She initially mistook the television crew for photographing the street for some television soap, and was quite surprised to know that she was the actual center of attraction. So, finally she would be earning good money, she stated casually!

Whether an individual is looking for a casual fling or is serious about a particular relationship, her/his ‘preferential characteristic’ in the person of the opposite sex will say it all!

Women seeking a short term affair would find themselves inclined towards masculine - looking men but if they want to go in for a lifelong partnership, marriage I mean, then they would prefer men with facial features that suggest kindness and trustworthiness, while men who are looking for a short term affair would select women who look more feminine and youthful asserts a study done by psychologists in Britain.

Women in the US constitute 10 and a half million business digging up to $2.4 trillion annual revenue. For every business started by a man in America, two are started by women and interestingly, majority of these entrepreneurs are moms!

For most of the moms, their new venture was not at all difficult rather it’s just a mere deviation from the former goal. In the first case, their aim was housekeeping but then it shifted to business but in the whole scenario, their method of approaching things remain the same, that is both require persistence, dedication, organization, and creativity. As the following moms did:

Julie Dix

The idea of creating taggies blanket for children’s crossed Julie Dix’s mind when she realized that ‘her li’le boy was often more interested in the satin tags on toys and clothing than the object itself’. Hence, she started making soft security blanket with assorted tags adorning all four sides. The idea became an instant hit and no sooner, she along with one of her friend scored a utility patent for the unique blanket, and in 2003 the company paired up with powerhouse Scholastic Books™ for a Taggies™ book line.

And by 2005, their 25-employee company happened to spill out revenue between $2 million to $5 million.

Laine Caspi

Caspi made her way into headlines with her Ultimate Baby Wrap, which she experienced while she was traveling to Israel. As she was suffering from back pain, so she carried her baby on a sling, which incidentally was a custom in the region. Later when she returned to Los Angeles, she find herself selling the slings as other moms too became fascinated with the idea. Her sales became such a major hit that she had to hire a Public Relations person. Thus, she realized the need of parents and laid the foundation of Parents of Invention in 2002, which now is a soaring business of $1.5 million.

Bette Fetter

Bette Fetter started Young Rembrandts that aims to focus on the drawing skills while developing learning skills of children so that they may have academic advantage in the classroom. But this didn’t come all of a sudden rather it was a gradual process.

Fetter started giving private art lessons to a few children in her ‘kitchen table’ in 1988, then she expanded into local school and by 1992, her created Young Rembrandts amounted to $250,000 annually and finally, she entered into the international market. In 2006, fifty-seven Young Rembrandts ™ franchises earned $4.3 million.

So what must you do to become an entrepreneurial mom?

It is not all difficult to initiate a private enterprise, just believe in yourself and develop perseverance that’ll take you out victorious in all situations. Along with that, keep the following things in mind:

1. When you are planning to start off some business, you might hit more than one idea, so need of the hour would be to pen down all the ideas that are coming to your way and rank them according to the most promising ideas.

2. You may take your family and friends into confidence; they may guide you and may tell you your flaws if any, in your idea.

3. After you have laid bare your ideas, watch out for the trend, or the competition. Then look out to your competitors’ website and give an in-depth research to their products and try to find out how your product is different from their manufactured goods or how your product is in a position to outdo the others.

4. Next step would be to develop your brand, which also includes creating the company or product logo. Make your logo in such a manner that may give a positive impact to the people and also easily reflect the company’s aim (regarding the product).

5. Do not waste time in protecting your company name and logo once you have created them, as they will be your prized possession. You may do so by filing a federally registered trademark.

These are the simple ways to initiate a business setup, whether building an at-home business or a large global brand, you can do it. All it requires is a positive approach and determination and of course ‘the wining idea’.

Study carried out by researches in Cardiff suggests that alcohol consumption among women reaches its zenith when they are in their forties but in case of men, it occurs in their late twenties.

In order to carry out the study, more than 800 people were ‘breathalysed’ out of which forty percent of men and twenty percent of women fell in the category of ‘at risk’ for heavy drinking.

Further, it also emphasized that concentration of alcohol was higher in men who were in late twenties but it dropped off with the advancement of years. However, the case was just the opposite when women were taken into consideration, their blood alcohol level rose as they reach forty plus.

Scholars fail to understand the reason for such a change yet one of them speculates that women in young age have to share certain responsibilities but ‘once the children have left home, then the sky’s the limit.’

The survey concluded:

1. Average time of alcohol consumption for men and women is 7 hours and 5 hours, respectively.
2. Younger women were less drunk with respect to older women.
3. Older men were more drunk than men in late twenties.
4. Younger drinkers, students and the unemployed are not the most ‘at risk’ groups for heavy drinking.

Statistics show that women definitely ARE the major consumers of alcohol, ladies what’s wrong with you? You are making yourself vulnerable to hypertension, anemia, and malnutrition, as it’ll attack you much quicker than alcoholic men. A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association, too showed that a woman’s risk of breast cancer rises with the amount of alcohol regularly consumed. Drinking moderately or not at all can reduce the chance of getting breast cancer.
So ladies’ it’s in your hands, to maintain hale and hearty life style or to adopt an unhealthy living habit, the ball is in your court!

Women as compared to men are steadier and don’t ‘churn’ money, whether, they share familial responsibility or prefer to stay single, they walk economically. Hence they are able to retain enough money.

Study carried out by Engage Mutual Assurance in UK advocates about the efficiency of women in handling money matters. Their study asserts that nearly 70% of the native women are in a position to work in a prearranged budget, while ratio for men is 68% for the same matter. Furthermore, 67% of women are able to maintain a healthy savings plan as Karl Elliott, marketing director at Engage Mutual Assurance, said,

The good news from these results is that many Britons actually find saving as part of their day-to-day lives relatively easy. When you compare saving for the future to other common lifestyle challenges, you realise that getting into the habit of saving can be easier than changing your diet for example.

The research has been supported by a similar study led by Alliance & Leicester, they have postulated that the consumers in Britain, have put aside nearly £820 million in savings accounts.

This is nothing than a sheer fact; women are much more resourceful, whether its about handling home affairs or financial matters, they can manage either of them competently, as Nicola Horlick did.

An article in International Herald Tribune too wraps up the same findings. It says that testosterone-fueled behavior in men makes them overconfident that directs them to take risks that don’t pay off in the long term.

Men have been in charge of the money for long enough, now it’s time to give the women a chance!
