Being an entrepreneur is not an easy journey; being a woman, a mother, and over-emotional entrepreneur is even harder. Men or Women – You’ll Never Know Until You Try Being an entrepreneur, woman or man, is hard because it is an unfamiliar, long and bumpy road on which, no matter how smart, talented, experienced and professional you are, success is unpredictable. Even with your best preparations, there are and will always be factors completely out of your control. In his highly recommended Ted Talk, entrepreneur Bill Gross tries to figure out from his years of experience wi...

You, like me, are probably fully aware of the importance and advantages of a daily workout routine. We all hear from friends and acquaintances how much better their life is since they took this path. You can find dozens of articles summarizing the importance and improvements and throngs of bloggers writing about why it is so great to run. Here is one beautiful example—a short summary of 50 reasons to run. By the time you get into this routine, you need no more convincing. You know, feel and react to it by yourself. But the hard part is getting to that stage. I can only share my...

Fringe is a trend which is all about movement; it started with the runways’ ubiquitous flapping, swinging fringe, but soon you are bound to see it everywhere. Personally, I prefer the "touch" of a fringe rather than a full-on ensemble affected by this style. A fringed clutch bag or shoes can add some spice to this latest mode. But some of the dresses or skirts you can see below are very special in their ability not only to create a nice outfit but also to contrive an interesting and ever-changing image effected by the movement of the body and its wrapping. The long, separated trimmin...

"Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you." Carl Jung The issue of loneliness in this era of high connectivity, when people are connected 24/7 via their mobile devices, has never been more relevant and acute. Feeling alone or empty can be associated with the quality rather than the quantity of relationships, emphasizing also a social approach which belittles being alone and expects a constant social involvement.  But being alone doesn't have to mean loneliness. Loneliness is a s...

I have to start with a confession: you know how it is when you know what could make you feel good, but somehow it’s just too hard to start doing it? That’s how I feel about meditation. So often I wish I could just calm down, get rid of the tension I feel all over my body and improve my ability to focus on thinking, planning and executing. Occasionally I even research ways to start meditating, but I rarely get beyond the third day of practice. Some of the research highlighted by the writers of the Confidence Code, as shared here, removed any doubts I still had on the matter. Although...

As an entrepreneur, you cannot bypass the stage of asking yourself what is your motivation. As the road is full with bumps and the process is so uncertain, in order to find the strength and energy to move on, you must have gone through the stage of wondering whether it’s really worth it. If making money is your motivation, there are surely other less challenging and less risky ways to make a living or get rich. So the answer must be lying in a deeper, more emotional place. Except for those who are loyal to something burning deep inside them — the kind of inner urge I spoke about i...

Further to our mission, as shared here, to present inspiring stories of women who are pursuing their dreams, let me introduce you to our second daring woman: designer Einat Skalski, founder of the Skalski Leather Boutique. Skalski’s designs reflect in spirit and style her personal attachment to a cosmopolitan lifestyle together with a strong link to tradition. She graduated from the fashion design program at Shenkar College, Israel and has a master’s degree in design from the Richemont Group’s Creative Academy in Milan, Italy. On graduating, she was chosen to intern in Paris at Lance...

I remember one of the first times I sat with a former colleague from the high tech industry trying to brainstorm an early incarnation of my idea. I had so many doubts at the time. At that point, I knew only one thing: I was not going to fake the self-assurance or confidence that I lacked. Although he wasn’t such a close friend, I felt no need to pretend to be someone who I was not, and so, in a rather naive, and in retrospect, foolishly honest way, I shared with him one of my deepest fears by asking the question: "But what if I fail?" He probably doesn’t remember a thing; for him, an...

"He said, ‘One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember.' My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die My father told me." Avicii – "The Nights" "When I die I want to be remembered for the life I lived not the money I made." This is how Avicii chooses to open the lately released video clip for his song "The Nights." We often confuse our definition of success and goals in life with the ultimate measurable parameter of money. Not that money is not important, don’t get me wrong, but  money as a standalone o...

Two of next seasons' hottest trends are button-up white shirts and polished denim. While considering which of the many latest trends I am more likely to adopt — thoughts that I will share with you later this month — I got to thinking how this combination of jeans and a white top has always been a winner; you can never go wrong with it. Whatever shade of jeans you choose—polished, simply dark or light wash blue—and whatever texture—the clean or ripped look—when combined with a white T-shirt, a blouse or a button-up shirt, it is in my opinion always feminine and attractive. It is the ou...
