LIVE LIFE FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE or LIVE THE LIFE THAT YOU LOVE,
those are more like what I was trying to say.
What the guest speaker taught me tonight is that surely anxiety tends to take over when you have real important matters to manage, but that its the anxiety we get, that makes the task we are attempting or wanting to accomplish seem more difficult than it really is.
I learned from her, or the impression I especially got from her speech tonight was:
In the business she deals with , and she mentioned it, she has great passion for it, and that is one important factor in dealing with business. She also mentioned having patience, and just being prepared when introducing your business plan to possible investor's; to have a plan A,B and C in case of unexpectancies.
Lesson was clear. I thought she described everything well, and it gave me a better sense of what is needed to be expected for creating one. I'm interested to see the PowerPoint.

Chinese says stimulus plan important for the world:
I found this article attracted me because China is home to the largest cities in the world, and important for the world sounded like it had to be about something good.
I've always had an interest in knowing more about China's economy; between their mass population and mass of production. Everywhere you see on things 'Made in China' so if you know nothing about the Country you're at least going to assume that the Country has numerous factories, and that they do a lot of exporting.
The article talked about "analysts expect export growth to fall as low as zero in coming months as global demand weakens". They call it a global crisis which of course its obvious to see why, but I think it's something that was easily seen coming. To look at this crisis as just a bad thing is somewhat difficult for me. Bad, yes, for all the people who have families to support and rely on there jobs at these factories, but then it can only be looked at for the good in the sense that the less exporting and running of these factories, the less harm on the global economy in the long run.
It's a scary fact how common pollution is now, that the average human body carries 28 toxic chemicals on an average, and that when our bodies are polluted any more than they already are and can't adapt ,that that's when things like cancer start occurring. I think for sure the seriousness of these matters needs to be recognized and be taken more seriously by especially the large corporations whose factories gives off these mass amounts of toxins that are causes of these problems, but also individually I think everybody needs to think more serious about them..

For a First Nations women, as with all women, getting recognition and respect as a working women in business took time.
From the last class, I remember barriers being discussed at the very beginning of class and the lesson I learned from this situation is to try to get to class five minutes early and to have a notebook and pen out from the very start, because, I can't recall nor did I write down, the seven barriers. The notes I did take from that part was-'90% of women Entrepreneurs worked for someone before becoming an Entrepreneur, and 1/3 of people who are self employed are women. I'm not sure why I missed it all. I also tried getting help from a few classmates with this, and didn't get it.
A First Nation's women of business that I know personally, has struggled with such barriers as
having to stay at home with her kids while her husband left for his job weeks sometimes months at a time, leaving her no time for much of anything else. Having kids understandably takes all of a woman's time for the most part, until they are old enough for school which even then, the schedule still revolves around the children/child, causing setbacks to her profession. I remember hearing something about women are more insecure than men, therefore it could become a problem say at the time of an interview, not being able to show confidence or passion for that position when it is needed. Another barrier would be the probability of sexual harassment, within a workplace being towards women. Having worked so hard in school and then obtaining the desired position and then having to deal with something like that, would create a barrier, a discomfort that would likely make it hard to keep that position . I know that doesn't directly have to do with a First Nation's women in business, but that's the best i could do for this right now.
