First Segment - Had a Blast!!!

Today was my first session of the All Things Women radio show on Twin Cities FM Radio, Perth, Western Australia.

It was so exciting, because I am now the official Radio Announcer for the time slot 9-12 on a Thursday morning.

It is also exciting because now I can finally launch into my style of presenting. I've already lined up a cast of women to be interviewed over the coming months and I'm really starting to see the show take shape.

There was so much valuable information shared yesterday on the program. The focus of the morning was "Women in Business" and we asked the question, "If you were giving someone starting a new business advice, what one piece of advice would you give them?"

I thought I'd share some of the responses here so that my readers could appreciate the great wisdom that came out of my Twitter friends (a special thanks to you all that contributed!).
