Hopefully from the About Section and the Pictures of the Products Section you see what PrivateEyes is, but I have not explained what impact I hope PrivateEyes has for women.

So its fun to have funny and inspiring sayings on your undies, but my real hope is fundamentally help women be more successful and have fun doing it. Having a pair of PrivateEyes undies should not only make you feel empowered but also backed by other women who are supporting you. I talk about the power of networking in the Cookie Exchange, but I really want to talk about the power of friendship.

All of the sayings on the undies have their back story, which I eventually will write, but what they all also have in common is a friend or a group of friends where we shared what was going on in our lives and what crazy thing actually just happened to us, and can they believe it, and through these talks, usually a fun saying came out of it, and we have actually cleaned a lot of them up for public display, but fundamentally made us feel better, they made us feel like we werent crazy, and we can get back to it.

I know we all intellectually know we can do whatever we put our minds to, but there is still pieces of the world, those in it, and even doubts in ourselves where we dont exactly know how to process everything. From our friendships we somehow find our way through it, hopefully laugh a little, and keep going. So the mission of PrivateEyes is to let all women know:

**That I can believe that happened

**No, that does not sound emotional to me

**That saying, “I was only kidding” does not make it funny or right

**You are not paranoid

**Yes we think you should apply for that promotion

** We will help you

** We think you are smart, funny, tough, compassionate, a great dresser as often time all at the same time

**We do have time for another glass of wine, coffee, smart water….

It is possible to succeed, but we cant do it alone, and we cant do it without friends.

I saw this great article yesterday “Without Women, its Arbor Day.”  It is nice article about how women really make sure that Christmas is a special day, but what also think is relevant is that women are making use of these skill sets everyday.  Specifically, Planning and Executing.  I am not sure if women fully realize the value of these skills or understand them as skills, as they come very naturally to many women, but I would argue that we should not only identify with these traits and also market ourselves as successfully leveraging them, to not only putting on great holiday celebrations but also for our business lives.  I would also throw in Collaboration, and Multi Tasking into the pot.  I would love to hear about how other women use these skills everyday.
