# What Are Women In Business Really Thinking?

I've noticed lately through my [business coaching](https://vickidonlan.hs-sites.com/Womens-Business-Coach/) that the number one question on the minds of women in business is what next? It seems as though the current economy has not only  slowed down all the resources that go with a building a business, but the imagination as well. My job as your coach is to motivate your creativity so that you can envision the future and dream big. As Yoda famously said, "there is no try, there is only do". You can do whatever you want to do. You can dream big and fill in the details later. Stop allowing the media, Washington or even family and friends from holding you back. You can do whatever you put your mind to but you must imagine youself there. It's a cliche but I do remind you "if you can believe it, you CAN achieve it". This is a call to all women in business to start believing in yourselves and your dreams.
