1). Learn your horse or person.

Let's face it. Women can be mysterious -- happy one day, sad next. We can be ruthless but charming. Yet, for a woman to do well in business world, she needs a close observer who knows her, realizes her potential, cultivates it and sees that others get out of her way to enable her success.

Women must actively identify executives who have clout in an organization and with whom they have rapport and ask them to be mentors. Mentors help women learn what goes on in boardrooms and how executives make critical decisions. In other words, a mentor must "learn woman," for her to do well.

2). Make friends.

Just as Seabiscuit required loyal animal companions to feel safe, secure and ready to do his best, women need same in workplace. When you develop loyal friends, you learn how to relax and do your best work.

3). Turn your competitive instincts outward.

Competitive instincts turned outward are good, but when competitive instincts are turned inward, it's disastrous. Why? For a horse, it happens when jockey holds reigns too tight. For women, it's when a person cuts her no slack and fails to provide respect, appreciation and acknowledgment of her existence in business world. If you loosen grip on a horse's reigns, she's free to take off. If you loosen grip on "cat-fight" scenarios and "good ole' boy's" network, a businesswoman is bound to take off and flourish.

4). Do only what you want to do.

You have to decide if it is going to be a talk, makeover, or news style program. The style of program should reflect your PR goals and communication strengths. If your business solves a problem, then a makeover program would be perfect for you. If you are skilled at getting people to open up to you, then use a talk program format. The news format is perfect for women who are extremely organized and adept at doing research.

Once you've decided on program style, work on your concept. Your new program must capture audience's attention. Will your news program report about on online women in business market? Will your makeover program show women how to give their web sites a professional look? Will your talk program feature women who own sites hosted by you? How long will be program be? Will it be a daily, weekly, or monthly program?

Location is everything! It sets mood for your program. Do you plan on using a studio, your home, or local places to tape your program. It all depends on image that you want to project. A formal business look can be achieved by taping in a studio. Taping from your home office maximizes image of running a successful online home-based business. Using a different locale for each show enhances appeal of a fun business program. All three location choices are perfect for any of program styles.
