Discuss in my forum

Someone posted information about a new social network for women in WIB's forums. I try to follow through on all tips so visited the suggested website, Savor The Success. Not only is the site a great new resource for women, which the founder, Angela Jia Kim, describes as "Facebook meets LinkedIn tailored for women," but I also discovered an amazing story about a young, successful concert pianist turned business woman.

Angela, now an accomplished musician (you can purchase her music on iTunes or Amazon), began playing piano at age three. Her musical career alone is impressive, but she also owns and runs two successful businesses, both of which cater to the needs and interests of women.

If you want business inspiration, Angela's personal story of how she turned a humiliating experience into a successful business that now sells high-end beauty products to 5-star spas and retailers across the U.S. will serve the purpose nicely.

What a great story. Necessity always has been the mother of invention. While I admire her beauty, talent, and tenacity, I’m not excited about the idea of smearing caviar or truffles on my face. Ew?

I have often wondered who was the first person to look at a crab and say “I wonder if I could eat that?” How long did people pass them over before discovering how tasty they are?

I would be more inclined towards champagne myself, but I do think it is clever that this woman came up with an ingredient associated with decadence and sensuality that is definitely off the beaten track (making it more desirable because it sounds like something taboo in our culture).

So I guess one could look at this as “there’s a reason why no one else was using caviar” or, that she discovered a new crab!
