We arrived at
the Women's Small Business Expo and were greeted by the
founder, Linda Hollander, also known as the “Wealthy
Bag Lady”.
She told us that the Women’s Small Business Expo
would be different than any other conference we’ve
ever attended. Boy, was she right! |

We
immediately rose to our feet and danced to Ladies’
Night and Let’s Get This Party Started. Linda
Hollander, the Wealthy Bag Lady, told us that we were
going to hear fabulous speakers
and see a great vendor showcase, but that’s not
all.
There was an Entrepreneurial Success Plan right in the
program book. We made some long-range goals and goals
for the 2 days of the Expo. We also wrote specific actions
to achieve those goals. |

Linda Hollander and Linda Clemons
|
| Linda
Clemons set the tone for the spirit of sisterhood by
having us play networking games.
We went way beyond the traditional networking and actually
formed Success Teams that would support each other and
fast-track our goals. |

Dr. Nina Craft of the Women's Peace Campaign
and Linda Hollander |
The
Women's Small Business Expo raised over $10,000 for
women in need, including our charitable partner, the
Women's Peace Campaign.
The Women's
Peace Campaign was founded by Dr. Nina Craft, to empower
women who have suffered in silence from domestic abuse.
We are pleased to help these women get past their temporary
roadblocks of bankruptcy and homelessness so they can
go for their dreams. |
