A PERSONAL NOTE FROM FRANCINE
Welcome to all our new Daring Success Circle Members and Subscribers.
We are in the process of redesigning The Daring Newsletter. Our New Name will be DAREZine™ – The Daring Woman’s Companion to Living Your Dream Lifestyle! … I’m considering doing a Video DAREZine™ instead of an email newsletter. I’d love to hear your comments – please email me at francine@thedaring.com – Subject Line: Newsletter
When I founded The Daring Women’s Community, over 1 year ago, I had a clear mission: To inspire and empower women, like you, to DARE to dream big, to step into your greatness, to embrace your magnificence, to share your unique gifts, talents and message, to expand your reach and influence beyond any geographical boundaries and to monetize your brand and passion(s) …. in spite of any fears, challenges, circumstances or setbacks. Hence to be DARING, to create your own economy and to start living an extraordinary lifestyle on your own terms. Your Life, Your Work, Your Way!
So needless to say that I’m very excited about the official launch of The Daring Woman™. To celebrate, I’d like to invite you to join me on Thursday November 19th, for a Free, Power-packed Teleseminar with Mari Smith, Daring Woman and Social Media Maven. (turquoise is Mari’s favorite color and brand color:) )
The Daring Woman™ will give you a place to connect, soar, share and celebrate with other women globally. To assist you on YOUR PERSONAL DARING JOURNEY, we’ll bring you real, daring women who are already living the life of their dreams on their own terms and, who are willing to share their inspiring stories and powerful knowledge and wisdom with you, real resources, offers, virtual programs, events and solutions to life and business challenges, exposure for yourself, your products or services, collaborative projects for exponential growth and visibility, and transformational individual and group coaching programs and much more.
My Fellow Daring Women and Friends … I appreciate you!!!
Have a fantastic and daring rest of the week!!

FEATURED ARTICLE: THE BLOG IS THE HUB
Excerpts from Become The Conversation – Your Free 5-day Social Media Marketing eCourse. To sign up for your e-course, please go to: http://www.supremesocialmedia.com/
Why Should I Blog?
With millions of blogs in the world - the blog search engine Technorati, stated in February 2009, that it was tracking over 113 million blogs, a number which did not include all the 73 million Chinese blogs, it’s obvious that blogging is a popular and successful format for publishing a Web site.
A blog can be many things: diary, news, source, photo gallery, even a corporate marketing tool. Blog content can be text, audios, videos, and photos, and bloggers talk about nearly any subject you can imagine. Entrepreneurs, business owners and companies haven’t missed out on the fact that blogs are a great way to drum up interest in their products and services or to inform and connect with customers.
When you combine blogging with social media you develop the power of branding. Whether you simply want to brand yourself as a person or you’re branding a product or company name, blogs built with social media in mind can put you ‘out there’ like no other medium.
Should You Join the Blogosphere?
Blogging is becoming more and more popular. Should you join the blogosphere? Take a look at this short list to help you make your decision about blogging. Why blog?
- To Express Your Thoughts and Opinions
- To Market or Promote Something
- To Help People
- To Establish Yourself as an Expert
- To Connect with Other Likeminded People
- To Make a Difference
- To Stay Active or Knowledgeable in a Field or Topic
- To Stay Connected with Friends and Family
- To Make Money
- To Have Fun and Be Creative
Before You Start a Blog
Define Your Goals
One of the biggest mistakes that people make is starting a blog without having a definitive answer as to why they do so. Everyone may want to start a blog for completely different reasons and there is no right or wrong answers.Are you trying to establish yourself as an expert in your field? Are you trying to promote your business? Are you simply blogging for fun and to share your ideas and opinions? Your short and long term goals for your blog are dependent on the reason why you’re starting your blog.Be clear on what your ultimate goal for starting a blog is. For example: if you want to blog about cats – that’s your subject. But what’s your goal? Is it to inform people on the best ways to take care of their beloved cats and to provide tips for cat lovers? Is your goal to refer them to another website your own, or somebody else, where they can buy cat accessories, books and other products all relating to cats?Think ahead to what you’d like to gain from your blog in six months, one year and three years. Then design, write and market your blog to meet those goals.

DARING TIP: I DARE YOU to Live the Life Of Your Dreams
Excerpts from The 7 Principles of Success Daring Women Revealed!
Change is Inevitable, but Growth and Progress Are Optional!
“You do not get to choose how you are going to die or when. You can only decide how you are going to live. NOW ” Joan Baez, American Folksinger
Sanaya Roman, a writer, once wrote: “What you love is a sign from your higher self of what you are to do.”
What do you love? Who would you love to become? Can you readily come up with a crisp answer or are you like many women who have been ignoring their needs, their dream for so long… you cannot even remember what they once were? You may feel that you have lost your ability to dream… let alone having the courage to discover and live your passion.
Doing our own thing is risky. We don’t want to risk failure – or worse, look silly. But, look around. The happiest, and often the wealthiest, people are those living their passion despite difficulties or fears. What kind of barrier or excuses do you use to keep yourself from the life you really want to live? From what fears are you trying to save yourself?
So many people have worked hard to make their dreams come true. They may have had to do a drastic thing like sell their house so they could travel the world. Some may have had to cut some of their spending drastically in order to quit their hated job and start their own business.
Passion is the energy, the enthusiasm,
the juice behind any dream.
Imagine living the life you have always dreamed about – the career, the relationships, writing the book you have been putting off or adding fun and excitement back into your life.
Remember we do not get what we want in life, we get what we are. In order to get what we want in life, we must first become that person that would have it – our thoughts, feelings and actions have to be in alignment with the good that we desire.
So let me ask you: Have you had a dream you’ve never acted on, an unfinished project, a business plan that lies dormant in a drawer somewhere, an idea you have been mulling over in your head? When are you planning on acting on it? NOW is the only right answer.
Dare to give yourself permission to live the life you have only been dreaming of up to now. Don’t allow past mistakes to shape your destiny or your fears to hold you back. Your time is now! Seize the moment!
