Congratulations to the USA Women's Soccer team! What a tremendous success! Men and women around the country cheered them on to victory and are still celebrating their accomplishment....but, we all know that women in sports are paid for their work at the same, if not less than women in business are. These champion women were just paid 22% less than their male counterparts...and really much less than that as the advertising endorsements that will be offered will be at a discounted price also......where's the outrage?

As a business coach, I work with my clients on exploring risk vs. reward with every decision. As much as I believe that a woman entrepreneur must be fearless in order to build a business: fearless does not mean unintelligent. There will always be risks in business, but a successful entrepreneur knows how to measure the risk vs. the reward. The most important part of the puzzle is that the reward must take you closer to your goal. If you don't have goals for your business than measuring risk vs. reward is just an exercise in futility. Let me explain why.

Now that I have your attention, I'm sure you want to know what Kevin Bacon can offer women in business? It was in 1994 that the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game was invented by three college students who after watching several Bacon movies speculated that he could be connected to just about everyone in Hollywood. Fast forward to 2015, women in business must think about this phenomenon and how it can be used successfully with LinkedIn.
