THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOUR DEAD TIRED(AND MARTHA STEWART) This was more than just a movie title to your hosts. It was real life as we traded barbs with KOA's Rick Barber in the middle of the night on his highly rated radio program early Monday morning. We were dead tired, but it was good fun for all. We were kind of disapointed that he didn't ask us what we though about the whole Martha Stewart debacle now unfolding. If he had asked us, we would have given him our own view of strong women like Martha in the New New Economy. We actually cover this in a chapter in our book which provides observations and tips for women so they can become the richest men in town. To wit: -New new economy women are janes-of-all-trades, masters of none....Or is that mistresses of none? Well, we are not sure which it is, but if it is "mistresses" of all trades, you better not go around telling yourself that. People will think you are a home wrecker. -New new economy women are tough managers, but they are not bullies. They tell it straight, but they don't put anyone down or make them feel bad. This means they are afraid to fire people, but we think that is good. Firing people makes for negative energy, and who wants to go to work with all that negative energy in the air? -New new economy women are accountable. They take the blame for their mistakes and learn from them. Mostly, they learn that one single mistake can kill a carreer. Its a hard lesson to learn, but that's ok, these are hard women. -New new economy women know their competitors are not their co-workers. Her competitors are her business' competitors. And the wives of the men she works with. 9:41:52 PM
