Dare to be yourself

Many theories have been put forward to explain the potential magnitude of the coming transitions that are

set to change the world as we know it in the year 2012; whether we believe our physical world will cease to

exist or that our level of consciousness as human beings, will be propelled forward, to move us closer to a

deeper understanding of our universe . Whichever stance one takes, it is undoubtedly clear that changes

are imminent. It is even clearer that we as women have an extensive role to play. This sense of pushing and

pulling of the Universe, is becoming a sure and urgent sign, that women must take their rightful place in

the world of global transformation, through designing their own paths towards success.

The female point of view is being acknowledged on international stages from organisations such as WEDO;

fighting for the inclusion of the female perspectives on climate change policies, to London ‘s 2012 Olympic

push for the prominence of women's sports such as women's cycling & female boxing. Overall ,there is a

yearning; a calling for you and me to open up and fully participate into this new decade gearing up to 2012.

To actively take part in these changes, we must truly find our passion as individuals and use our gender

characteristics such as Love, compassion, forgiveness and lateral thinking. Acknowledging our essence and

our innate use of ‘soft’ powers can truly effect deep, cultural changes in response to challenges we cur-

rently face worldwide. This use of soft power offer dynamism, flexibility, inclusion and is transformative

and supportive of change without excessive force or destruction so familiar to our current realities.

For 2010 there is a resonance of pledges everywhere for women to step up, to take centre stage and take

leadership roles. As individuals we needn't do much, find that strength and hope within.. live in it. For this

year, I dare you...BE YOURSELF Zesanatt Pequeno

World Wide Women

It doesn’t take much research

these days to realise that ‘sisters

really are doing it for themselves’.

Organisations around the globe are

working together towards a female

friendly future for all women, eve-

rywhere.

Just such an organisation is WOM-

ANKIND Worldwide. Based in the

UK, this registered charity helps

women in developing countries -

silenced or isolated by harmful

traditions, conflict, violence and

intimidation or the sheer exhaus-

tion of surviving in poverty - to

have a distinctive say in what goes

on in their family, community and

country.

From raising awareness to raising

money – if you want to contribute

The Billionaire _tw|xá VÄâu Monthly Journal for 21st Century Women

ISSUE 02 /January 2010

Feature - Country Profile : India

What does it mean to be a 21st cen-

tury woman? For me, the words

heart and femininity come up.

I’m in India at the moment, where

women seem to embody these two

qualities. They are ‘soft’ women:

flowing dresses, long, healthy hair,

adorning themselves in jewellery.

They are brought up with depictions

of women as goddesses.

Yet at the same time they are strong

- they work - very often physical work

- doing what’s needed, supporting

the family, nurturing, teaching, rais-

ing their children and supporting

their husband.

Visiting India is always a heart jour-

ney for me - the vibrancy & warmth

of the people, the colours of the

places - and it’s actually where I

started reconnecting with my heart

and recapturing my femininity. I had,

like many women in the West, sup-

pressed my feminine energies in try-

ing to be ‘one of the boys’, to a de-

gree where I was competing with

them - for jobs as much as anything

else. After spending time in India,

meditating in robes with beautiful,

feminine women, I began to tap into

that part of my identity and being

again.

Recently, I have had the good fortune

to meet a lot of incredibly motivat-

ing, inspirational women and one

thing that has really struck me is how

absolutely feminine they all are. We

seem to have gone through the mas-

culinisation era and have come out

the other end realising that we don’t

have to change ourselves to be suc-

cessful in business and life, we can

come from our authentic, female

space and it doesn’t weaken our

message or vision, it adds power to it.

It is a strength. In being feminine and

speaking and acting from the heart -

which is one of our greatest natural

abilities, in friendship and in business

- we are coming from an open and

honest place where positive results

seem to be magnified.

I am meeting women from all over

the world who fit right into this cate-

gory - they are very much in their

own power. You can tell them

straight away, it’s the feeling you get

from being in their presence. Put

yourself in the space of being in your

own power: there’s a nurturing qual-

ity about you, a self-assuredness peo-

ple are drawn to & a self-worth

which surrounds you. It is magnetic

and people feel the benefit of being

in your company. It is a totally non-

competitive energy.

When you’re coming from your

heart, you shine and spread your

warmth and light to all around you.

To me, this is what being a 21st cen-

tury woman is all about. It is a man-

ner. It is a way of being - both with

yourself and with others. It is remain-

ing in your feminine qualities,

strength and power, sharing and sup-

port, to positively influence the lives

of those around you. Demonstrating

these qualities and empowering

other women to want to take them

on.

This is where some of our greatest

strengths as women lie, to impact

and make a difference in our commu-

nities and globally.

Precious Water Goes

Down Our Drains

Following on from last months climate

news about ‘blue gold’ and the worry-

ing possibility of underground water

aquifers running dry, to add insult to

injury it is perhaps even more alarming

to hear that almost a third of the

worlds precious drinking water is lost

through ‘leakage’ before it reaches the

consumer.

It is estimated that $18 billion of clean

drinkable water is lost worldwide per

year, even though methods and tech-

nologies for significantly reducing this

loss are already available. In visual

terms this is the equivalent to 3,600

Olympic sized swimming pools a day!

Step in, Miya. This company is part of

The Arison Group, a global investment

and philanthropy organisation, head-

quartered in Israel. These industry

experts believe it is an environmental

obligation to address water loss and

that we will face crisis if this issue is not

resolved within 15 years.

Miya is the first global player to offer a

comprehensive water efficiency solu-

tion and a one-stop-shop for water loss

projects. With its team of world lead-

ing experts, Miya will work with utility

companies using water efficiency

strategies, and water loss management

to tackle areas such as leak detection,

control and repair.

Given demographic and economic

trends, it is estimated that the world

will need 40 per cent more water by

2025. Miya’s experts agree that reduc-

ing water loss is the best and the most

cost-effective solution to increasing

water supply.

By offering expertise and know-how, as

well as unparalleled range of services,

including effective financial solutions,

Miya will enable many cities around

the world to address the growing prob-

lems with their water systems.

Blog To Go – Happy New Decade Well, what a Year!

2009 took us all through a journey, didn’t

it? And what a journey it was. Just as we

thought that we got it all sussed out, the

recession hit and we all had to readjust our

seat belts and think of another journey for

the coming future. Many people may feel

2009 was a year they would like to forget,

but I am inclined to feel that it was an im-

portant foundation year of learning.

The preparations we all went through in

the first decade of this century was a glori-

ous insight in to what can be achieved in

the future—good and bad. If we take note

on what was being said, intellectually,

spiritually and environmentally, It is my

belief, that this next decade will be a dec-

ade of action.

Talking about action, have you decided

what you want to achieve by the turn of

the next decade which begins with the

year 2020? Yes I know it is 10 years away

but didn’t the last ten years seem to go by

with the blink of an eye? If we really think

about it, all that you want to achieve in the

next ten years is sitting with you now. The

resources, the information, the contact,

the know-how and the drive to make it

happen. You don’t need anything else. Oh,

actually, yes you do. You need to take ac-

tion. Yes, I know we have all heard and said

this before, but isn’t it really time that we

listened to this short two word sentence

and actually DID it? TAKE ACTION.

Tonight before you go to sleep, why not

challenge yourself and make something

happen to it’s completion tomorrow. For

an example challenge yourself to write

2000 words of your book or pay off £50

extra on one of your lingering bills or offer

to mentor someone for free next month and

make that appointment. We all know that it

is the little steps that create the momentum

towards freedom and it is that freedom that

leads us toward a lifestyle beyond our wild-

est imaginations.

Tomorrow, I shall start creating a system for

my book the Human Upgrade. Watch this

space and we will see how it grows by the

end of the year. Happy New Decade. NS

EYE ON IT

Current Trends for MSI

It seems like it will be all the rage

this next decade...

The rise of the homepreneur is a

long-term trend that will continue

to accelerate over the next dec-

ade. Fuelled by technology and

enabled by low costs, businesses

of all kinds are finding there is no

place like home.

The trick is to find a system that

brings in passive income whilst

you are doing the very thing that

you love.

The Riches of Asian Women

Asian women including female entre-

preneurs from India are generating

more wealth than women in any other

region of the world even as their afflu-

ence and influence grows globally, a

recent study indicated.

The report published by Barclays

Wealth, said, “the affluence and influ-

ence of women is growing globally and

is increasingly fuelled by their own

individual enterprises - highlighting

that the perception of inheritance and

marriage as the lead sources of female

wealth is outdated .”

Taking a slightly different slant into female funding, here in the UK, ROSA, The UK

Funding for Women and Girls, offers financial support and funding for a range of pro-

jects that help achieve equality and justice for females. Rosa’s vision is that of equality

and justice and while many women do enjoy great freedom and success, that’s simply

not true for all women.

Although not short of ideas to help create change, women and girls are often short of

the money they need to turn those ideas into reality. Working together, leaders from

women’s organisations, businesses, government and the media came together to find

a solution to this problem. Recognising that projects in the UK dedicated to women

needed greater recognition and financial support, Rosa – a registered charity, champi-

oning the work of women’s projects, was launched in June 2008.

Strange News

Camel milk could soon be on super-

market shelves in Europe after a

Dubai-based dairy applied for an

export licence.

Camelicious already sells its prod-

ucts across the Gulf region and

now the company has ambitious

plans to break the European mar-

ket.

Camelicious lawyer David Wernery

says camel milk is far more nutri-

tious than its cow counterpart.

Goodness, whatever next?
