Risk Taking
Passion, Persistence,
Professionalism and Power

"All the dreaming and planning are useless if you're not a risk taker. I drive that point home - especially to women. We have to throw the dice."

Sheila Cluff is a risk-taker. In 1979, while raising four children, she mortgaged her house, cars and her husband Don's pension to start her fitness spas, The Oaks at Ojai and The Palms at Palm Springs. Sheila constantly worried about her children's future. If her businesses failed, their education would be lost. She worked around the clock to fend off bankruptcy and then one day her husband arrived home with a bottle of champagne announcing their first profit--$95. Eventually, that $95 turned into a multi-million dollar business. Would she do it all over again? "Absolutely," she declares. "The pain, the guilt, all of it-there's no other way to make it to the top."

How to Bring Your
Product to Market
and Build Your
Multi-Million Dollar Business

"Five years ago I was $10,000 in debt. Now I own a company valued at $10 million dollars."

Wendy Robbins was a kid who sold the squares of the chocolate bar for 5 cents each when the whole bar was only a dime. She left home at 14, sold drugs, ended up in Juvenile Hall for stealing and was headed down a messed up path. Her 6th grade teacher saw something in her and helped her to see options.

Five years ago, she and Jorli McLain started everythingforlove.com Inc. after developing "The Tingler", the ultimate head massager. With no experience, credit cards maxed out, after making every mistake, they made millions in less than two years. It took $10,000 to start the business. It was recently valued at $10 million.

The products are now available in 3,500 stores, catalogs, QVC, and Bath and Bodyworks. They have sold about 1 million head massagers, and are developing International distribution.

Access to Capital
Special Financing for
Women-Owned Businesses

"To get the money you need, It's key for you to get the knowledge of what's out there in terms of financing and access to capital. I can help you do that."

While poor management is cited most frequently as the reason businesses fail, inadequate or ill-timed financing is a close second. Whether you're starting a business or expanding one, sufficient ready capital is essential, as well as the knowledge and planning required to manage it well.

As a loan consultant for the Small Business Development Center, Pauline Diaz has helped entrepreneurs understand financing options. In her innovative Access to Capital workshops, she provides business owners with the knowledge and planning required to seek and obtain the right type of financing for their businesses, so they can realize their dreams and grow.

Create Expert Status
Increase Your Profile and Profits by Getting More Media

"Every moment that you avoid marketing, there's someone out there 'just doing it', learning as they go, and making millions."

Having coached hundreds of clients over the past 17 years, Dawn Holman discovered that the single biggest reason most women do not achieve financial independence, much less fame and fortune, boils down to a universal and underlying point of resistance:

"I love my business but I hate 'getting out there' to sell myself."

So, if you are ready to rise above the noise in today's marketplace, then Create Expert Status is your answer. Securing powerful media exposure and captivating audience "mindshare" at a fraction of the cost of paid advertising.
