I strongly believe we need more women entrepreneurs in the world, and
over the course of my next three (3) articles, I will share articles that
reflect and clarify my commitment and personal drive for women to
achieve their due positions in the world of entrepreneurship.
Before becoming an entrepreneur, I have worked in corporate over 30
years, which included a 15-year tenure at Country Wide Home Loans
as a “Top Platinum” producing Account Executive. I also earned a listing
in the Guinness Book of Records as a top producing banker and Vice
President at JP Morgan Chase Bank for five years. Today, I am the
founder of Women Inspiring Women to Change, Inc., and serve as the
Executive Director and CEO.
I have seen many women taken advantage of and get walked over.
Although women make up nearly half the workforce, I have seen
women get paid a lot less than men. On average, full-time working
women only earn 78 cents for every dollar a man earns. This means
women have less money for their families, less money for their savings,
and less money for their RETIREMENT! It is time women take a stand
and create a better future for themselves by learning how to become
personal credit worthy and business credit worthy.
We need to learn how to create income for ourselves and stop creating
income for these huge organizations. The way to do that is
entrepreneurship. By me learning how to become personal and
business credit worthy and practicing, The MVET Way has allowed me
to establish an eight bedroom, 15-home for homeless veteran women
and homeless women in transition which is one of some of the many
income generating revenues for my family and me. It’s critical that we
learn how to incorporate multiple revenue streams of income for our
future and our retirement.
