I've added a new section to Women in Business to help other women entrepreneurs stay on top of important current events. If you are interested in reading articles about the challenges facing women in business, how women are overcoming business challenges, and about other important events in the business world, be sure to check out Women's Business News.

If you do not have time to visit the site frequently, subscribe to Women in Business' free weekly newsletter and receive important updates on business news that affect women entrepreneurs.

Suppose you get an email from the ASPCA asking for a donation, or perhaps a newsletter from them that has links to click to learn more – or even to unsubscribe from future mailings. You love animals, you want to help, but is the email for real?

It is easy to fake hyperlinks in emails to send you to websites you do not want to visit, or even when clicked, can trigger virus downloads. But it is also easy to check to see if a hyperlink is real or fake, if you just know how.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mompreneurs! Here's an excerpt from an article with ideas on how to avoid feeling guilty -- even if you have to work on Mother's Day.

For most women who give birth to children and a business, there is no such thing as achieving balance in the traditional sense. In fact, “balancing act” is a better term to describe the life of most mompreneurs. Balance between family and work can be tough for any working mom to achieve, but common mistakes that interfere with finding a healthy balance, can be easily avoided. Be aware of the three biggest traps a work-at-home mom can fall into:

• Becoming a shut-in,
• Acting as if the business is all yours, therefore, “hands off,” and
• Passing along your own feelings of guilt.

If you are planning to conduct phone solicitations or telemarketing campaigns, you need to comply with the regulations governing telemarketing business conduct. You may not call phone numbers listed in the National Do Not Call Registry and unless you are a tax-exempt organization, you will have to pay to access information in the registry.

The Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007 was passed into law in February 2008. The law has a positive impact on the more than 157 million phone numbers already listed in the National Do Not Call Registry.

"Untraceable" (released January 2008) is a movie starring Diane Lane as an FBI agent who investigates cyber crimes. In the movie, a serial killer uses the latest, and very real, phone technology called SpoofCard to help hide his identity.

But is "spoofing" your caller ID legal? Yes, and no. The rules for personal use of caller ID spoofing are different from those that apply to businesses. Before you consider "spoofing" (altering) your business' caller ID information, be sure to know the real truth about FCC Regulations and the current status of laws about caller ID spoofing.

If you would like to share with other women something about your business, now you can do so in our Women In Business Forum. Please read posting guidelines (posted in the forum) before you post.

You may not use the forum as a selling platform, but you can network yourself and your woman-owned business by letting others know about your business in general.

According to the American Pet Products Association, in 2007, there were 71.1 million households (63% of all households) in the U.S. that owned at least one pet. Global Pet Expo reports that these same households spent $39.1 billion dollars on pet products and pet care, while Packaged Facts a consumer research company, reports that figure to be closer to $41 billion and projects pet sales to increase to $52 billion annually by the year 2009.

The pet market is the second fastest growing retail industry (second only to consumer electronics). For savvy women entrepreneurs with a great pet idea this is good news in a economy where other industries have seen a decline in sales.

As Mother's Day approaches (Sunday May 11, 2008) I thought I'd give you an early Mother's Day present -- some tips on how to work more efficiently with kids underfoot.

One of the most common issues work-at-home mompreneurs face is feeling guilty about the amount of hours involved in running a business. As a work-from-home CEO and single mother of four, I have found that simply having priorities in mind is not enough to make them happen.

Make a written list of the important things to get done, and include the needs of your family and children on one daily "to do" list instead of separating business and family activities. By combining family needs with your work list, you are more likely to be able to meet the demands of running both.
