Empowered Business Woman, Sheila Stewart Launches National Tour With Paula Abdul and More
Serial entrepreneur has access to over $300 Million (*) in Capital to be offered to empowered business women in addition to a platform to pitch great new ideas to Kevin Harrington.
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) July 23, 2010
Women entrepreneurs have expressed their frustration and continued desire to find one organization that provides the business mentoring, coaching, financing, growth tools, skill education and business resources and provides access to specific aspects that affect women entrepreneurs such as start-up and operating capital.
Sheila Stewart, successful entrepreneur, created Empower 180, Inc. and the Stiletto Club after speaking to and working with thousands of women all over the world. She learned that women purchase two or three professional memberships and yet still feel they are not well equipped with the resources and tools to start, build and grow a profitable business.
“We are taking a stand with the Stiletto Club and busting through the old notion of what it takes to build a business as a woman. Bottom line, we are our own economic stimulus program and giving women the opportunity to step up, show up and move up. We have access to sources of potential capital, infomercial gurus and a full day program designed to provide education, empowerment and entertainment. Women can achieve mental fitness, business knowledge and then learn how to make their outside match the inside with personal branding. We are excited to be launching our initiatives through 20-city national tour,” says Stewart.
The statistics of women business owners and financial impact is staggering.
