While studying human potential, it never ceases to amaze me what can be accomplished when all perceived obstacles and psychological barriers are removed.</description>

		<description>Dayo,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful and clearly heartfelt comment.  

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.  There is nothing degrading about being sexy or wanting to be sexy as a woman.  Some of the most brilliant and successful women I know are incredibly sexy and love being so at the same time that they are also being savvy business women.  

If you spend some time reading my posts here or in my other blogs, you would see that there is a ton of serious content on how to take care of your business legally.  I take that role very seriously, but that doesn't mean it has to be communicated in a serious or sterile way.  After all, we may be business people, but we are also women.  We should celebrate what makes women unique and special, which can include being sexy.

And yes, many women entrepreneurs I know are indeed intimidated by lawyers and have not done what they need to do to protect their hard work, not out of being clueless or dumb, but because they don't know where to start or they don't have the money to hire a lawyer.  They need someone to make the entire process approachable.  I don't judge anyone for not having their legal foundation in place.  It can be confusing and scary for anyone, male or female.  I want to make the process less intimidating and a lot more fun, which it can be.  

Clearly, the title and the gist of this post didn't appeal to you, and that is okay.  Great minds don't always think alike.  That is what makes this country and this planet such a fascinating place!

As for the link, BBU is a service that will be offered to entrepreneurs and it will be live very soon.  Most everyone we deal with is very excited to be notified when it goes live, so as a courtesy, we provided a way to get that notification. 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.  
Best,
Jessica</description>

		<description>Dear Jessica,

Lately, too many articles for women regarding important information is delivered, as if, women need "special handling" to help our understanding.
 
Adding insult to injury is using “sexy” as a motivator to get women to learn about the basics of business startup. 

The title brings images of a different era but obviously it’s an era that still exists.

We need to stop fueling double standards and self-oppressing. Women need to take ownership of their learning for the right reasons and if they don’t, it’s their decision. To me, being successful and sustainable with regular growth are important. Setting up a legal entity because it’s sexy well, this is wrong for so many reasons.
 
You are referring to setting up a legal entity right? If yes, that’s what it should be called. If not, I am not sure what you’re article is about.

We need to provide accurate information to include standard terms, phrases, and provide clarity to women and men who are entertaining the thought of owning their own business or taking that next step.

Are we a little slow, superficial (sexy), intimidated by authority (lawyers), oblivious and clueless (bored) ignoring the business-side of our business? Is that what you think? Thanks, that really helps us out a lot.

To add, Business Brilliance University is not up and running, you’ve only a placeholder with automatic reply. With this new venture remember that it’s important to know how to talk-the-talk and walk-the-walk when it comes down to business.

Regards,
Dayo</description>
