Last month, I went to an event in Newark, NJ with my friend, FCW Alicia Prendergast of Prendergast Management. I had no idea what I was attending – Alicia was going and it had the word Millions in it so I thought, what the hell. It’s all about stepping into the life you want so if you want Millions – go to Newark, NJ!
I was completely inspired that day more than I could have ever imagined! The women who organized this event are so fucking cool. Nell Merlino, the co-founder and president of “Count Me In” As the driving force behind Count Me In’s goal to getting 1 million women entrepreneurs to a $million in revenue by 2010, Nell has energized and engaged stakeholders in making this vision a reality!
How great is that! There were over 500 hundred people in attendance – 5% men – the rest women from the tri-state area. The energy in that room was exciting – exhilarating – Awe-inspiring. I never imagined myself saying I am a millionaire artist – but I have been recently! Why? Because what I walked away with on that afternoon in May … was this image.
Imagine a room full of men, any number – all of these men are millionaire business owners. NOW See a room full of the same amount of WOMEN and they are all Millionaire Business Owners! The energy in each room – so different – invest in women businesses means you invest in protecting the world! Women businesses generally have more of a social responsibility to give back to their communities.
