March Luncheon "Cache Valley Travel"!Tuesday, March 12, 2013

11:55 am Golden Corral

Speaker: Julie Holist RSVP: http://wib.usu.edu/

We’ve focused on goal setting the last couple of months. I just wanted to follow-up with a quick reminder. Know Your Goals - We've all heard this before, but as time goes on we forget our goals, or they get pushed to the back of our mind. If we don't know where we're going, how will we know when we've arrived? A goal is just a target, and targets are things we strive for, they keep us focused and intent on moving toward them. Review your goals and check how close you are to reaching them. If you haven't set yourself goals then you're at sea with no compass and no paddles. Be Positive - Everyday things happen that set us back a little, and they often seem to take on more importance in our lives than the good things that occur. Remind yourself every morning to approach the day with a positive attitude, based on the fact that it is a new day and anything is possible. It is important not to bring forward any negativity from yesterday. Keep Learning - Try to learn at least one new thing everyday. It can be absolutely anything; take a look at what your competition is up to; randomly look at how companies in other industries are marketing themselves and see if you could adapt the ideas to your business; read a blog written by someone in your market; ask one of your employees what you could do to make them more efficient in their job. It really doesn't matter what you learn, but learn something, and here's a thought - write it down and keep a record of all this new information in an ideas journal. Then, next time you want to stimulate your creativity, refer back to all those great things you learned. You are all amazing women and are such an inspiration to me. I look forward each month to be able to rub shoulders with you! Tammy Selley, President

Women in Business Spotlight Utah State University has refashioned the way in which it conducts its technology transfer operation. Commercialization and Regional Development represents the entire university and derives its strength from USU’s world-class faculty, students and staff. The Commercial Enterprises unit works closely with our academic and industry partners to develop new technologies by “spinning-in” business innovation opportunities. One such innovation has led to industry-sponsored research and $15M in future revenue. It is our desire and our commitment to protect USU's intellectual property and to develop relevant, practical technologies with industry so that we can appropriately leverage the intellectual, financial and creative assets of Utah State University.
