SEVEN SUCCESS SECRETS OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LAUNCHING A NEW BUSINESS!
Presented by Karin Abarbanel
Co-Author of "Birthing the Elephant”

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to take control of your life, do work you really love – and make more money? As a small business owner, you can.
No wonder 2.5 million women a year – catch start-up fever. If you’re one of them, you’ve come to the right place. However, launching your own business is not easy. You will face financial, operational and emotional challenges...but here’s the good news: plenty of women have already mastered “the small-business mind game” and have rebounded from the kind of setbacks that can derail even the most promising small-business dreams.

This interactive workshop will share the 7 Success Secrets of Women Entrepreneurs. You will discover how women entrepreneurs handled the same emotional obstacles and start-up problems you’re worried about – from managing a project meltdown to surviving financially. Join Karin Abarbanel, Co-Author of Birthing an Elephant, and learn the secrets of successfully launching your own business from women who’ve already successfully navigated these tricky waters.
