7. When an important project begins to reach some kind of climax, as it nears its conclusion, you a) withdrawal and let others finish it b) begin to get pretty bloody sick of whole thing, and start to complain loudly c) start looking for next thing to work on d) hang in there for completion, taking care of details, knowing next thing will come along soon

Scoring: If most of your answers were a: You are committed to hanging out, which is fine, unless you've got that nagging feeling you should be doing something more. If so, you probably need a therapist, or a life coach at very least (see Chapter X, "What is a Coach and Why Do I Need One?") when you're ready to get serious. b: Your fear is definitely getting in way of what you want to do in life. You need to get an arsenal of support including a support group, a coach, and plenty of meditation time. c: You're grappling with usual fear and doubts, but problem is you're listening to them, even though you know deal. Set up a regular support group and find a support buddy or coach who will bug you to get your work done every day. d: You're doing job way it should be done. The only possible problem is burn-out, so be sure to schedule in rest you need, and stimulating stuff to keep you perking along. A coach would be a wise investment towards seeing how far you could go.

Women of ALL ages have made a conscious decision to tackle complexities of technology in order to achieve their own goals and aspirations, whatever they may be.

What is it about internet that is so appealing to women? It's quite obvious, actually. The internet is a massively large vehicle for what? Communication. And what do women generally do better than men? You got it...communicate!

Look around, and you see women everywhere online. And what else do you see? Sites created by women - providing every type of information, service, or opportunity you can imagine.

Who are these women? People you know -

- Young mothers working from home in order to be there with their children

- Former corporate executives using skills learned on job to create their own successful businesses online

- Empty nesters who find themselves embracing technology of their children's generation

- Young women just out of school who have chosen career path of entrepreneur and are using internet to achieve those dreams

Each is different - but you can be sure that all these women have certain characteristics in common. They have determination to tackle often confusing technology of internet, and they have passion it takes to accomplish their goals.

And succeed they do - in large numbers!
